Kidger House Guest House

 
 

Description

Set in a tranquil garden on a quiet, oak-lined Newlands street, this beautifully appointed four star guest house offers 4 luxury suites. With the grand backdrop of the Eastern Table Mountain and Newlands Ravine, unwind to the sound of water and wind chimes and relax in the majesty of the Cape.
Kidger House is an elegant yet homely guesthouse featuring a cosy fireplace for winter warmth and atmosphere, Cape, Victorian and Regency furniture decorated in an appropriate style for this lovingly restored Cape Dutch style home.
Enjoy the formal lounge and dining areas or spend time on the patios overlooking the garden and swimming pool. Here you can relax listening to birdsong or watch scampering resident squirrels.
Conveniently situated for close-by Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens or for Newlands forest walks, it is also an ideal centrally positioned sanctuary from which to explore either Cape Town or the wider Cape Peninsular. The city, Table Mountain Cableway, Lions Head, the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town International Conference Centre are all within easy reach.
Brilliantly placed for visitors requiring UCT (University of Cape Town) or the Newlands RUGBY and CRICKET stadiums.
