The tranquil atmosphere of this charming house is a wonderful surprise,
located as it is in the heart of Cape Town’s City Bowl. Built around an
open central courtyard with a sunken swimming pool, the villa oozes
character and just a little eccentricity. |

Originally a Masonic Lodge, Hemingway House is located in a quiet gated
cul-de-sac in the prestigious Oranjezicht area of town. To the south
Table Mountain rears up to form an impressive backdrop, while the centre
of Cape Town is a short stroll northwards down the shady lanes of
Company's Gardens. Within a stone's throw of everything from parks to
shops and museums, the Lodge is also wonderfully located to get in and
out of town easily, whether to one of the beaches or to the winelands.

An airy entrance hall gives tantalising
glimpses of the central courtyard and pool. Located in the corners of
the house, the four bedrooms are sumptuous oases of peace and elegance.
Guests are warmly welcomed to make themselves at home in the farmhouse
kitchen, but most gravitate to the Loggia - an outdoor sitting room next
to the pool where canapés are served in the evenings. All the rooms open
onto the courtyard, an enchanting area strewn with tables and chairs,
plants and candles.
One of the most delightful houses in Cape Town, Hemingway House is a
firm favourite with many guests, and works equally well as a guesthouse
or a staffed private villa.

Right across the lane from Hemingway House is Hemingway Lodge, a
balconied Victorian double-storey with fabulously inspired interiors.
There are three luxurious bedroom suites to choose from: the Garden
Suite with a private enclosed courtyard; the Mountain Suite with a
glorious view of Table Mountain; the Royal Suite with dramatic
vermillion stripes and a vast bathroom. |

Condé
Nast House & Garden May 2005:
'There's something edgy about Cape Town's Hemingway Lodge.
It's retro, it's bold, it's eclectic. It's 21st century glamour.'
Condé Nast Traveller UK June 2005:
'Inspired by Kelly Wearstler, a vibrant palette and irreverent LA-style
glamour.' |
