An African Villa - Accommodation in Tamboerskloof, Western Cape, South Africa
An
African Villa - Accommodation in Tamboerskloof,
Western Cape
is situated halfway between the Victoria
and Alfred Waterfront and Table
Mountain Cableway in a quiet residential quarter with a lovely village
feel within a short stroll of the centre of Cape
Town and a large number of its best restaurants. These elegant double-story
Victorian terraced houses have the hallmark architectural characteristics
of an era when space was no obstacle. The rooms are spacious, the ceilings
high and the original walls reassuringly thick and solid. Dating back
to the late 1800 the new buildings have been refurbished and decorated
in a sophisticated contemporary African style. The air of calmness which
is immediately noticeable in the house is achieved by skilful use of
play of light, sensitive use of colour, subtle texture and pattern play
which is uniformly applied throughout the house.

At the heart of the house, as you may expect, lies an enormous and welcoming
kitchen. Breakfasts are served either in a spacious dining room or, weather permitting al
fresco, in
the marvellous courtyard beside the pool. Friendly housekeeping staff, are on duty to prepare a hearty, cooked breakfast (included in the
rate). Facilities at the Villa include: a library where free internet access is
available, a
plunge pool surrounded by cushioned loungers in summer. Do not be surprised to find
yourself surrounded by glowing, wall hung, hurricane lanterns on a balmy African summers
eve. All rooms are equipped with en suite bathrooms (some with shower and bath and twin
basins); heating in winter; television (with M-Net); electronic wall safes; telephone with
private line; hair dryers; beds are dressed in luxurious white cotton percale linen;
Standard rooms have fans and and Superior rooms have air-conditioning.
In the evenings there are two comfortable lounges in which to relax perhaps with a
complimentary glass of sherry, coffee or tea (both freely
available) or another beverage provided for you from our honesty bar. You are welcome to bring your
own drinks and keep them in a guest fridge. There is also a microwave and small kitchen
area for guest use. Most guests find that the new Villa has the feel of an intimate
boutique hotel because of its sophisticated décor and generous facilities. It is,
however, intended to be simply a warm and welcoming guesthouse. They hope that the unique
layout with its three interlinked houses will help you to feel as though you are a
guest in a home rather than in a hotel. It is an ideal place for the traveler of
independent spirit who appreciates personal freedom, new-found friends and a haven to
return home to after exploring this fairest cape in all the world
