Stylish Garden Cottage with magnificent views across vineyard to mountain scapes

Owl Cottage is a charming two-bedroom retreat in the heart of Cape Town’s Constantia Valley, set within lush gardens with direct access onto Groot Constantia – South Africa’s oldest wine estate. From the garden gate, guests can wander through the vineyards, enjoy award-winning wine tastings, or dine at the estate’s acclaimed restaurants, all just steps from the cottage.

Designed to suit both short getaways and longer-term stays, the cottage is perfect for families, couples or digital nomads seeking space, comfort and a peaceful setting. The main bedroom features a queen bed and en-suite bathroom with bath and shower, while the second interleading bedroom has twin beds and its own en-suite shower – ideal for children, guests or visiting friends. An open-plan lounge and fully equipped kitchen make it easy to settle in and feel at home.

The cottage also works beautifully for remote stays, with fast, reliable WiFi, a dedicated workspace, and a quiet environment ideal for focused work between vineyard walks or pool time.

Life at Owl Cottage flows outdoors. The veranda and private balcony overlook the gardens, solar-heated pool and surrounding vineyards, with breathtaking mountain views beyond. A braai, outdoor dining area and sun loungers invite long, relaxed afternoons, while children enjoy the dedicated play area with jungle gym and trampoline, all within a safe garden setting. Thoughtful touches such as books and toys add to the relaxed, family-friendly feel.

What makes Owl Cottage truly special is its balance of tranquillity and convenience. It feels like a peaceful countryside escape, yet you’re just a short drive from Cape Town’s highlights, including Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, world-class beaches and the vibrant city centre.

Whether you’re working remotely, enjoying family time, or unwinding with a glass of wine at sunset, Owl Cottage offers a rare opportunity to experience vineyard living in one of Cape Town’s most beautiful and historic neighbourhoods.
The cottage is heated and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and an electric kettle. Housekeeping is available on request.
