High Timbers Lodge

High Timbers Lodge is located high on the slopes of the Cape`s Constantia mountains. This is a warmly welcoming guest lodge, where the personal touch is paramount and the ambience rich in comfort.

Secluded in a 1,5 acre lush, landscaped garden, high timbers embodies tranquillity. Architecture is in tune with nature, reflecting the rural setting and blending with the surrounding trees. city stress is banished by bird song, crystal-clear air and panoramic views over a nature reserve to the backdrop of a blue bay framed by distant mountains.

Your hands-on host Oliver, who is experienced in the Cape Town hospitality trade, is committed to your comfort and pleasure. Under his care, you`ll take home special memories of “the fairest Cape in the whole circumference of the globe”.

Walk through the front door of high timbers and you`ll be enveloped in modern South African hospitality, with an accent on space and light. Soft colours and textured wood provide warmth without ostentation, and antiques and paintings by local artists add a unique Cape touch to international luxury.

For a home-from-home feel, sink into plump couches in the lounge, where there is satellite TV (with German programmes).

You`ll wake to the cry of guinea fowl and the scampering of squirrels. Start the day with a bountiful breakfast. Enjoy a tempting traditional spread with freshly baked breads, a wide range of cereals, fruit, and eggs to order, prettily plated.
