Even though you’re minutes from the city centre and you have a view of Table Mountain, you’ll feel like you’re in an exotic faraway land – especially if you book the Versailles suite. From the Country Road beach towels to the delicious ‘high-tea’ spread, this new boutique guesthouse in Vredehoek gets the details just right. The property sits at the foot of Table Mountain and was designed to make the best of the spectacular views overlooking the city, V&A Waterfront, the harbour and beyond. A large veranda allows guest to mull over the vista at leisure, with the gentle ripple of a koi pond and swimming pool in the background.
