- Lovely time - 21 March 2006
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 - 20 June 2005
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.

Loft /Pool Room (3)Rates Include : B & B
Imagine spacious, imagine romantic, and imagine panoramic views and you have the 2 Loft rooms at Highlands. Designed for comfort & relaxation these 2 rooms are firm favorites with our guests requesting privacy & space to relax, recover or rejuvenate. The bathrooms have a full bath & separate shower together with a vanity unit and look out over the roof tops to the sea at False Bay or the gardens & grounds of playing fields & mountain slopes. Both these rooms are light & fresh, fully air conditioned and being at the top of the house they are very quiet . Also in the same category, the pool room has double doors opening directly onto one of our two swimming pools. This room & the pool itself, is set in a secluded patio-garden with an inviting gazebo and delightful conservatory. Fitted with a king size bed, large built in cupboards and a vanity unit, this room is the only room in the house without a full bath, it does however have a large shower and all the other facilities including TV, mini bar, hair dryer. The patio directly in front of the pool room is an ideal spot to soak up the sun, sit in the shade, have a light lunch or indeed to enjoy your sundowners next to your “private” pool.
