This place is for people who want beauty and tranquillity and a getaway experience in a 100% environmentally friendly place right on the urban edge - 8kms from Simonstown. Fully equipped open plan kitchen, exquisite bedrooms and awesome decks. The space While the villa can accommodate 6 guests the room and bed configuration make it ideally suitable for not more than 4 adults.

There is also a small bathroom with a basin, sink and shower. There are 2 bedrooms upstairs. The master bedroom has a spectacular en-suite bathroom - possibly the bath with the most dramatic views in Cape Town. There is one queen-size bed, and again an extra three-quarter bed tucked in the corner. A second bedroom has a queen-size bed and built-in cupboards. Both bedrooms lead out onto a second deck, with views even more sweeping than the deck below. The property as a whole is a serene getaway tucked in the lush flora of the Cape Peninsula.

Other things to note Cape Point Villa is perched on the side of an 800 meter high mountain with the sea directly below. It is a secluded spot, surrounded by nature. The guest house was the home of a most extraordinary woman by the name of Rosalind Shearing Bean. A multi-faceted woman she transformed the villa and the neighbouring cottage into the unique spaces that they are are today. The Getaway has just been refurbished and upgraded thanks to a generous contribution in her honour. Rosalind also turned an invasive alien wasteland around the dwellings into an exquisite fynbos garden. A trained nursing sister and alternative healer she imbued the spaces with a tangible sense of wellness and tranquillity. We run the guest house in her honour and her memory. It is regularly used as a mindfulness centre. Its location in a nature conservancy and on the shores of a marine reserve make it a biodiversity haven. If you want a venue for a party or expect TV, micro-wave, air-conditioning and other modern conveniences this is definitely not the place for you. If you want peace and tranquillity in a 100% green and sustainable place of unrivalled natural beauty then this place is just about one of a kind in Cape Town. You will have to navigate 39 steps from the parking space to your front door.
