Cape Town House on the Hill
Higgo Road, Higgovale, Cape Town

Why we love it:
- You have direct access to the slopes of Table Mountain from the property.
- Kloof Street and Bree street are a five-minute drive away.
In one of Cape Town’s most prized suburbs, this secluded spot is a serene oasis – but only minutes away from the city. The space is a masterclass in chic design with attention-grabbing black industrial lines softened with wood.
The views will make you want to stay in – all three storeys have magnificent postcard views of the mountain, city and forest. The five bedrooms make this the perfect getaway for large groups, and even though the space is designed to a T, it is family-friendly.
The modern yet mid-century style and pieces by South African artists and artisans are carefully curated, and the roof garden has some of the best views in the city.
