56 Kloof Nek 27 (Sleeps 4)
56 Kloof Nek Road is a two-bed roomed, semi-detached Victorian
cottage, situated in Tamboerskloof, a suburb within the inner City
of Cape Town. The area is considered to be one of Cape Town’s
finest and is much sought after, as it is situated within easy walking
distance of the City Centre, and is half-way between the City and
the majestic Table Mountain on the one side, and Lions Head and
Signal Hill on the other.

Much of the area is rich in Victorian-styled houses and traditional
architecture of the late 19th century. Tamboerskloof is considered
to be a safe area, with excellent community safety services.
The architectural style of the “56” is Victorian, boasting
high ceilings and plenty of original Oregon wood doors and floors.
Built in 1875, the house celebrated its 130 birthday with an extensive
renovation and refurbishment in 2005.
The cottage comprises one double and one twin room. All bed linen
used is 100% pure cotton. There is one full bathroom indoors, with
bath and hand shower, and an outside shower situated under the large
grape vine – very popular during Cape Town’s long hot
summers.
The remaining area consists of a huge living/dining area with an
open plan kitchen. The living area is simply furnished with leather
sofas, a large coffee table, antique Kelim carpets and a TV and
music system. An eclectic selection of books is available, and a
small private art collection adorns most walls in the house. The
kitchen is fully equipped, and includes fridge, stove, toaster,
dishwasher, microwave, washing machine, tumble drier, and all necessary
cooking and eating utensils.
A safe and secluded back garden provides the ideal setting for enjoying
barbecues under the old grape vine; for candlelit dinners; or indulging
in some private sunbathing!
