With Table Mountain as the dramatic backdrop , the owner has created a sanctuary of calm and tranquillity, a contrast to the busy street life close by.

The Mount Nelson Hotel is next door and the property is within walking distance of several local coffee houses, the National Art Gallery and Museum, Government Walk and the Houses of Parliament. Approximately five minutes drive away are the Cable Car and Table Mountain walks and the restaurants in the city centre. Another five minute drive will bring you to TheWaterfront, Camps Bay, Clifton and beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard and the Kirsenbosch Botanical Gardens and hikes.

The living areas open to an exquisite courtyard with sunken pool, and an outdoor living room with comfortable sofas, a fireplace, a bar, and pots of flowers and vines, perfect for relaxing and for dining outdoors.
