The house was designed in 1904 by the renowned architect Herbert Baker for the editor of the Cape Times newspaper, Sir Maitland Hall Park.

 

Architecturally, the house is typical of the period and of the admired Colonial style. The property has a graded one conservation rating from the National Monuments Council.

 

The property is located in a wonderful suburb right on the foot of Table Mountain, and is conveniently located near to many restaurants and a trendy Deli Restaurant just opposite. The city centre is a few minutes away, with the V&A Waterfront complex and beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard not much further.

 

The verandas and garden provide views of Table Mountain and the city, while the upstairs bedrooms look out at the dramatic sweep of Table Bay. There is a sparkling pool in a tranquil setting. The garden has romantic hideaways and a herb garden.

 

The sitting and dining rooms have been lovingly preserved, with glowing wooden floors and exclusive, traditional furnishing. One cooler days you may enjoy the fire, the best moment for an excellent Cape wine. The wine cellar offers a growing selection of wines from Stellenbosch, Paarl and Wellington areas. In the morning, indulge in an opulent outdoor breakfast.

 

The nine double bedrooms are all different in size and tastefully decorated. Each room has a telephone, Mnet television and en-suite bathroom with heated towel rails, bath and shower over the bath. A private family suite with sitting room and patio, as well as a private family cottage is also available.

 

Free broadband internet access is also available for guests use.

 

The guesthouse is a haven of serenity offering upmarket accommodation, personalised service and warm hospitality. A great place to stay for young and old.
