Situated on a luxury estate in the heart of the Cape Winelands, this house boasts mountain views from the outdoor space. But it isn't just scenic. The swimming pool also promises hours of fun for the whole family, with ample seating for adults to relax. Though it's hard to compare to the beauty of the natural landscape, the interior is chic with a touch of luxury to make your stay most comfortable. Surrounded by wineries, there's plenty of potential for wine tours, with the popular Franschhoek only a short drive away.

Sitting underneath the peaks of the Table Mountain Range, this wine estate dates back to the end of the 19th century and the home's facade is indeed reflective of the Dutch Cape style prevalent at the time. Take a walk around the interior and this sense of heritage continues, thanks to period details ranging from beamed ceilings and brick fireplaces to antique furnishings and oak floors running throughout.

That being said, visitors will not have to sacrifice 21st-century conveniences during a stay here. The glass-walled garden room is a contemporary gem and looks out to gorgeous views of the surrounding rustic landscape. Elsewhere in the fragrant outside space, the swimming pool is a relatively recent addition and the fountain is also a peaceful spot beside which to relax. This being a wine estate, there's a cellar with a good supply of bottles to uncork and this area is as far from dank and dark as you could imagine. Guests also have access to a gym in case they want to work off any of the previous evening's excesses.

When it comes to seeing a little more of this picturesque corner of South Africa, the centre of Constantia takes only seven minutes to reach in the car and rewards those that make the trip with bakeries, cafes and restaurants. Hout Bay Beach is the closest seaside spot at ten minutes' drive, but there are plenty more to be discovered along the coastline. You can get to the centre of Cape Town in around twenty minutes, too.

Cape Town is a city defined by spectacular views, and one of the most beautiful comes from your cute balcony. Sit down on the outdoor dining table, glass of wine in hand from the local vineyards, and admire the view of the ocean descending into the blue horizon. Mesmerising and inspiring, it's a view you never tire of seeing. 

Alongside the balcony, you get a pretty incredible view from the pool too. You can chill in the water with a view available at all times, and you may never wish to get out. 

When you do finally prise yourself out of the water, you'll find a light and airy living space adorned by wooden furnishings of varying tones. It's the type of space that never feels crowded, even when the whole group gather together for a film on the TV or biltong around the table.

If you prefer dining out than eating in, you're expertly placed to explore Cape Town's flourishing culinary scene. The cosy apartment is tucked away in a cool district of the city, yet close to the beachfront bars and the picturesque V&A Waterfront.

In the evening, we would love to let a private chef take care of dinner as we unwind in the soothing bubbles of the hot tub before indulging in cocktails at the home’s very own bar. Then dine alfresco before playing a game of pool or watching a blockbuster movie in the dedicated cinema room.

Table Mountain Treasure

This home is stunningly aesthetic, and with such a spectacular view of Table Bay's private yacht marina, it would be a pity to pass it up. Slide the balcony door open and relax in the egg chair with a drink of your choice, admiring the beautiful turquoise water that glistens in the sun, and when noon arrives, light up the barbecue to enjoy some tasty grilled food. Inside, you'll discover a calming living area with pale blue accents to brighten it up and artwork to give character. The soft tones make the bedrooms feel luxurious, and the master bedroom goes out onto the balcony.

When you wish to escape the hot weather, head down to the communal area for a cool plunge in the pool before spending the day lounging about – as you should on holiday. Take a short walk to the world-renowned V&A Waterfront and The Metropolitan Golf Course to devote the morning on the course, perhaps putting a couple of hole in ones if you're lucky. In the afternoon, visit The Old Biscuit Mill, a heartfelt collaboration between chefs, designers, photographers, and other artists from the area – formerly a biscuit factory that now hosts a Saturday market with over 100 speciality dealers for you to experience.

Hout Bay is full of quirky shops and cafes, and Llandudno Beach is only a short drive away.
