Lovely time


We had a lovely time. We chose the pool room over the attic room and were pleased with it, and would choose this again as it felt even more private than walking through the hotel, and being able to step straight from the room into the swimming pool was nice. Might like to try the garden suite, if the price was right.

A wonderful honeymoon option


We spent our first night at Highlands House after getting married elsewhere in Cape Town. We were warmly recieved, despite arriving after 1am in the morning, the honeymoon suite was spectacular, the champagne was on ice and very late meal was effortlessly produced (as I had forgotten to eat at the reception). Finding my car shaving-cream and coke can free when we woke up was just the icing on the cake. Fantastic service all round.

Description



Set in magnificent gardens in one of Cape Town`s prestigious suburbs, situated between the renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and the Contantia wine estates. The most romantic setting for a wedding and honeymoon.
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 your 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.
Located in Kenilworth, Highlands is close to golf courses, Newlands rugby and cricket grounds and Rhodes Memorial, also built by Sir Herbert Baker. Beaches on the Atlantic seaboard and the Indian Ocean, the airport, Waterfront and Cape Town city centre are 20 minutes away.
