About the area

Cape Town

This cottage is located in Constantia, a neighborhood in Cape Town, and is near theme parks and in the mountains. While the natural beauty of Table Mountain and Camps Bay Beach can be enjoyed by anyone, those looking for an activity can check out Cape Town Cruise Terminal. Traveling with kids? Make time for Two Oceans Aquarium, or check out an event or a game at Cape Town Stadium. Scuba diving and snorkeling offer great chances to get out on the surrounding water, or you can seek out an adventure with hiking and cave exploring nearby.

Glorious Holiday!
The White House is superbly located for easy access to Cape Town and all the Southern Suburbs and Constantia Village, , Kirstenbosch Gardens, Cape of Good Hope, and Stellenbosch. It is exquisitely well furnished and comfortable, with a delightful garden and pool, and the staff is most attentive and helpful. Definitely an ideal Holiday Home.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with Cape Town and the beautiful and green Constantia area. We bought the property in 2012 and made a lot of changes to build an enchanting child friendly and eco place. The property is ideally located on Rhodes drive in the Constantia wine valley.
"Rhodes Drive is a 7 km mountain drive along the eastern slopes of the Table Mountain range and connects Constantia Nek in the south with the suburb of Newlands. This is one of the most scenic wooded drives on the Cape Peninsula and traverses some of the plush suburbs of the Southern Peninsula. It is also the only access road to the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. From dense indigenous forests, to towering old pine trees, majestic mountains, hiking trails, picnic spots and world class botanical gardens - it's all there along the wonderful Rhodes Drive" (cf. southafricamountainpasses).

What makes this property unique

The property has beautiful mountain view, is very well protected from the wind (which can be a nightmare elsewhere in Cape Town) and has a wonderful and colourful garden, a paradise for birds and butterflies. We have 2 massive and very old trees (an avocado which produces tons of delicious fruits all year long and a yellowwood ) and more than 20 different varieties of fruit and nut trees. Everything that grows in our garden is organic, from the grass to the flowers and the fruits and vegetables.
