Overview
Welcome to the iconic Villa Molteno, a turn-of-the-century four-bedroom mansion set in the heart of the polished Oranjezicht neighbourhood in Cape Town. This exquisite villa accommodates up to seven guests in a harmonious blend of opulent comfort, timeless elegance and breathtaking views over the city and Table Mountain.
Stepping into the villa, guests are greeted by two airy and inviting living rooms which open onto an expansive patio flush with sofas and al fresco dining settings. The elegant interiors, which flow from lounge spaces to the cosy library-bar, are tastefully designed with a muted, almost monochromatic palette, and adorned with contemporary furnishings which shine in the floods of natural light streaming in from the large windows. Sink into plush sofas and immerse yourself in the warmth of the fireplace, creating a relaxed ambiance perfect for relaxation and long conversations.
Adjacent to the living area is the fully equipped kitchen where culinary enthusiasts can unleash their creativity. State-of-the-art appliances and ample counter space make meal preparation a joy, whether you're whipping up a quick breakfast or preparing a holiday feast for friends and family.
Ascending the stairs reveals four meticulously designed bedrooms, each offering a unique atmosphere and stunning vistas. The two main bedrooms offer stunning city views and shared access to a central study, not to mention their own ensuites. Two further bedrooms share a bathroom and boast Table Mountain views.
The picturesque garden is anchored in either side by two giant conifers and at its centre the cool turquoise pool. A fully-kitted indoor gym on the ground level allows guests to get a sweat going before they dive into the refreshing water or enjoy a meal in one of the various al fresco garden nooks.
Villa Molteno oozes sophistication and classic charm, and as such promises an unforgettable stay in an unparalleled location.

Restaurants dot the cape, offering a diverse culinary opportunity that ranges from fresh seafood to international delicacies, all within a short distance from Villa Molteno’s doorstep.
Villa Molteno is also perfectly situated to enjoy Cape Town’s bevvy of natural wonders, with the iconic Table Mountain and surrounding nature reserve right on its doorstep.

For a more cultured experience, the heart of Cape Town is close at hand. Dive into the immersive galleries and museums. Or take a short drive (15-minutes) over to the V&A Waterfront.
Villa Molteno rests right on the doorstep of the iconic Table Mountain nature reserve and its countless hiking trails and unparalleled vistas, perfect for a family hike or simply take a morning jaunt in the dawn light. Even closer to home is the Molteno Reservoir and De Waal Park, making a trip to the park as easy as stepping outside the front door.
Take a scenic drive with the family along the peninsula of False Bay toward the Cape of Good Hope. Make sure to stop Boulders Beach to see the penguins and the Cape Point Ostrich Farm where the kids can feed and pet ostriches.
