Set in magnificent gardens in one of Cape Town's prestigious
suburbs, Highlands is a beautifully restored National Monument.
Built in 1900 by Sir Herbert Baker, Highlands is considered to be
amongst the most important Cape homes of the era. |
Here, a warm welcome awaits, where caring staff
will attend to you're every need and, with only 14 spacious
bedrooms, privacy and personal hospitality are assured.
Elegantly furnished, from every room long sash windows overlook
the terraced Italian gardens and water features, two sparkling
pools or the putting green.
Relax and enjoy sumptuous breakfasts, with lunch and dinner
prepared by our Cordon Bleu chef by prior arrangement. Many hours
of pleasure can be attained in the lounge, library, the intimate
private bar, Colonial sitting room, romantic dining conservatory
or the large elegant billiard room. The winter months are warm and
cosy with five of these facilities having a log fire.
Being close to corporate head offices we are eager to discuss
rates suitable to the budgets of regular travellers to the city
and their conferencing requirements.
We are always happy to make arrangements for your collection
from the airport; tours or car hire and can assure competitive
rates.

This area is private from the main house and
when set at night with our finest silver and candles, looking over
the pool and garden, are without doubt the most romantic settings
for intimate entertaining. |

Five rooms are available. Four rooms with queen
size bed and one with twin/king size bed. Only one of these rooms
does not have a balcony but is the largest of the five.
Often asked how we differentiate between our types of rooms, the
answer is that they may vary in size or view.
All of our rooms are individually decorated, all using well
selected pieces of furniture, fine linens and beautiful fabrics.
Each day all rooms are supplied with fresh flowers and fruit.. |
