Enjoy a true Cape experience in this beautifully renovated thatched home, bordering the picturesque Groot Constantia vineyards (the oldest wine estate in South Africa). Immaculately renovated to retain its historical Cape Dutch features, while bringing it up to date, the villa has been immaculately designed, with every amenity and detail considered, from hotel-quality linens, to fine fabrics and custom-made furniture.

The space

With its huge heated pool with sun loungers, large fire pit and outdoor lounge area (equipped with a state-of-the-art sound system accessible from anywhere in the home), this home is equally suited to entertainment as it is to relaxation.

There are two lounges –  one an informal family lounge, leading onto the kitchen and outdoor entertainment area, and the second, a more formal sitting room with a large 14-seater dining room adjoining it. The two living areas are separated by a double-sided fireplace – a huge bonus in the winter. A fully fitted, eat-in kitchen is the heart of this property, flowing cleverly into the informal lounge.

There are five large bedrooms and bathrooms in the main house, as well as a conveniently situated, two-bedroom cottage at the end of the manicured garden.

A weights gym (with his and hers cloakrooms), a full laundry and a separate scullery complete the extensive list of amenities the property has to offer.
