Highlands Country House  

Set in the peaceful outskirts of Cape Town, about 9 km from the city centre and 22 km from Cape Town International Airport. The Sir Herbert Baker–built country house sits in formal gardens close to Kenilworth churches and Maynardville Park. A boutique, romantic wedding venue and country-house retreat within easy reach of the city.

Built in 1900, Highlands Country House has 14 individually appointed en‑suite rooms in a home-from-home setting. Expect formal gardens, a conservatory, two pools and plenty of secluded spots to relax. Rooms come with showers, TV, mini‑bars and slippers, and service leans personal and attentive.

Unwind at the bar or by one of two pools, indulge in the private spa and massage room, or lose yourself in the library. Practical touches include free parking, transfer service, concierge, laundry/dry cleaning, safe-deposit box and an elevator for accessible access.

A guest PC is available for quick use and the concierge assists with transport and local arrangements.

Meals are individually prepared by the resident chef with a daily-changing menu and local flavours. Enjoy afternoon tea with homemade scones by the pool or book a private dinner party with full service and special touches.
