Constantia, Cape Town, South Africa

One of the most spectacular countries in Africa. At the tip of Africa, Cape Town has everything to offer. From magnificent scenery, with the meeting of two oceans at Cape Point and the great Table Mountain looming over the city of huge diversity, there are a world class restaurants and wine farms on its surrounding hills.

The House:

The house lies between 2 famous old wine farms in rural Constantia, just 20 minutes from the city centre of Cape Town. On the one side is Buitenverwachting wine farm and on the other Klein Constantia wine farm. It is a place to relax, unwind and taste the local wine. Built and designed by a well known local architect, the house enjoys both aspects of sea views on the south side (False Bay) and mountain views on the other. Large proportions and plenty of glass allow the sun to come pouring in.

The house can be rented as a whole, (all 5 bedrooms which includes 2 bedrooms in the cottage) or the cottage can be rented separately, (2 bedrooms en suite) sleeping 4 people. This is an ideal cottage for a couple. Ample space to spread out. It is totally self contained, very private even though it is connected to the main house.
