A private villa in Cape Town with a pool, a view, and a driver on call for the winelands and the coast.
A villa works better than a hotel for a family in Cape Town. The house has a pool, room to spread out, and a driver and guide arranged for the days you want them.

Why we like it
What makes Cape Town villa work
- A house to come back to in a city that rewards slow mornings and long dinners.
- A private pool and views of Table Mountain or the Atlantic, depending on the suburb.
- A driver and a guide on call, so the winelands and the peninsula are day trips, not logistics.
Good to know
Before you decide
- Best from October to April; winter is mild, green and good value.
- Houses sleep from six to fourteen; a chef can be arranged for some or all nights.
- Pairs with a Sabi Sand lodge or a quieter malaria-free reserve for the bush.
