Admiral’s View

Hideaway with stunning views of False Bay

Admiral’s View villa will entice you back to the days of years-long voyages and widow walks. Welcome to your hideaway on False Bay, South Africa, in the shadow of Hottentots-Holland Mountain floating precariously close to the Cape of Good Hope. Romance and adventure await where two great oceans meet and within two acres of Italian-inspired gardens. Settle into the dreamy among exquisitely furnished rooms with many original 1920s architectural details, including a Venetian chandelier. A small library in the master bedroom beckons you to relax in the comfort of days gone by. Acres of terraces and a large pool invite you outdoors to explore grottos and lush landscapes. Curl up on a lounge, have lunch under the collonaded verandah, or simply throw a picnic blanket on the lawn. After a day spent in the charming coastal hamlet of Simonstown or surfing at Muizenberg, you’ll enjoy cooking up a storm in the kitchen or coming home to an in-house catered dinner. Guests will enjoy retiring to three luxurious bedrooms some of which include a fireplace, balcony and en suite bathrooms.
