This Cape Town heritage home, a painted pastel pink in homage to the nearby Belmond Mount Nelson hotel, the villa offers a private retreat just a short walk from local cafes, design stores, and restaurants.

Built in the 1920s, the home has been modernized with Scandinavian-inspired design, featuring open, luxurious spaces across two floors, including a library and private wine cellar. The glamorous kitchen and dining area open to a charming alfresco space that echoes classic Italian courtyards, making the most of Cape Town’s warm summers and stunning views of Table Mountain.

Hope House includes 6 en-suite bedrooms: 1 king and 3 queen-sized beds in the main house, plus 1 twin and 1 queen-sized bed in an adjoining apartment.

Located in the Gardens neighborhood and nestled at the base of Table Mountain, combines a century of history with a striking collection of contemporary African art.
