Klein
Bosheuwel - Accommodation in
Constantia, Western Cape.The Constantia Valley, one of the
historical and cultural hearts of the metropolitan area of Cape Town
and famous for centuries of fine wine making, spreads out below the
gardens of Klein Bosheuwel. Wilderness areas, farms, forests, riverine
corridors and scenic routes abound.The front garden still has remnants
of the hedge of Wild Almond planted by Van Riebeeck during his
Governership in order to define the boundary of the Cape Colony. Later
during the Anglo Boer War the British had their horses stabled where
the houses stand today in a truly idyllic setting. Well appointed
bedrooms all enjoy beautiful views of the gardens or valley and
mountains

Cape
Town has a Mediterranean type climate with long summers. However,
despite being a winter rainfall area, there are also many lovely warm
intervals in between the rainy days. A two
minute walk from the houses takes one to the world famous Kirstenbosch
Botanical Gardens on the slopes of Table Mountain. A 2 hour walk from
the house would take one to the summit of the mountain. Lovers of
nature would be hard pressed to find a better place from which to
explore the beauty of South Africa's natural flora
The
nearest beach is the picturesque fishing village of Hout Bay which is
a 15 minute drive away. Cape Town and its Waterfront, and the Table
Mountain Aerial Cableway, are also only a 15 minute drive. The variety
of cultivars now being grown in the Constantia Valley will not
disappoint the most serious of quaffers.Not only has Constantia always
been famous for its wines, there are also a number of excellent
eateries within a short drive of Klein Bosheuwel.
