Oranjezicht, Cape Town, South Africa

Press Reviews

The Telegraph, January 2011
"A discreet, stylish boutique guesthouse in a residential suburb on the lower slopes of Table Mountain, with subtle décor touches and tranquil atmosphere... swimming pool & sundeck, landscaped gardens and immaculate service."

Time Out
"Boasting panoramic views of Cape Town and its surroundings, this exclusive guesthouse combines classic style with contemporary flair... Within walking distance of vibrant Kloof Street, (it) has been tastefully decorated over the years. Originally built in 1903, the guest house is a listed monument and impresses with its landscaped garden and chic interior."

Men’s Health Best Life, December 2008
"The service standards at Four Rosmead are astonishly attentive for the price, as are the many thoughtful touches, like fresh milk in the fridge and beach bag with towels and frisbee in your cupboard. Decór is soothing and tasteful, with more personality than the myriad guesthouses pressed from the same design magazine; this has a lot to do with the art you'll find everywhere, much of it for sale - if only everything was!"

Guardian, April 2008
"This inner-city sanctuary full of flair will appeal to those who prefer to stay somewhere peaceful and secluded but within striking distance of all the action... Original features such as fireplaces, wooden flooring and porthole windows have been conserved, while vibrant contemporary art and crafts are displayed (and sold)... Outdoor space is small but effective with a saltwater plunge pool, zen garden and loungers...This is a four-star guesthouse going on for five."

  • “It's good for a stopover and the location makes it great for casual neighborhood dining where food is good and their is more atmosphere than many restaurants in the more tourist areas. They are very helpful as well. The place is fresh and modern but lacks a warmth that would inspire us to linger more than necessary.”

Save to favouritesPrintMailFour RosmeadHidden away in the leafy suburb of Oranjezicht in the lee of Table Mountain, with wraparound views of the city and the bay, this century-old listed building was revamped by its art-loving owner to create one of Cape Town's most stylish boltholes. Many original features like the Oregon pine floors, porthole windows and fireplaces were conserved; while striking new elements include an angular wood and steel loggia which spans out above the garden terrace. Flowerbeds of raked gravel, neatly tended rosemary hedges, and a decked salt-water pool and fishpond induce a Zen mood of studied calm in the garden. Step inside and it's more upbeat, with jazzy African paintings and sculptures in the sun-filled lounge and 8 classy rooms adding zest and colour to the building's airy, elegant lines. To add to this architectural delight, any request to the quietly professional staff at Four Rosmead will be dealt with promptly, and any thanks will be acknowledged with one word: pleasure. We couldn’t think of a better way to describe what our stay here was filled with.
