This beautiful town house with enormous character and charm is situated in the ideal location to explore Cape Town and the province.

Located on the slopes of the magnificent Table Mountain, Hemingway House strikes the ideal balance between home and hotel. With its sumptuous and supremely elegant colonial decor, this nineteenth century lodge is right in the heart of Cape Town, tucked away from the hustle and bustle, it offers the ideal sanctuary for the discerning traveller exploring the Cape - the ideal place for both adventure and relaxation.

Visible beyond the entrance hall, is a sunken courtyard and beautifully sculpted swimming pool, shaded with vines, nestling beneath the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain itself and, beyond, the wide African sky. Reminiscent of a Roman bathing pavilion, one may dive into the cool clear waters, after a day exploring the fascinating cultural and historic sights of Cape Town.

Relax in the wonderfully proportioned salon in front of the open fire, decorated in an individual Afro-colonial style incorporating an eclectic mix of objects d’art, antiques and stacks of old books. The bedrooms are positioned in each corner of the house for maximum privacy - each is furnished differently whilst all conform to the charming colonial theme with many details that delight - with antique tapestries, sheer fabrics and chandeliers, to create a haven of calm.

From its daytime sunny, Mediterranean breeziness to the sultry exoticism evoked by the evening poolside loggia and fireplace, the overall character of Hemingway House exudes familiarity and welcoming comfort so that one cannot help feeling at home, here at the tip of Africa.
