At the foot of Table Mountain, Welgelegen House captures Cape Town’s timeless charm. Once two Victorian family homes and later an orphanage for Jewish children, it has been reimagined as a welcoming retreat, a true “home away from home.” Today, 14 en-suite rooms open onto a leafy courtyard, offering calm and stillness amid the city’s rhythm.
A plunge pool provides respite on warm days, while our attentive team shares local insights, from hidden restaurants on Kloof Street to sweeping views atop Table Mountain. Ideally located, Welgelegen House places Camps Bay, the V&A Waterfront, and Cape Town’s vibrant culture just a short drive away, making it not only a base for exploration, but a return to Cape Town’s spirit.

Deep in the bushveld overlooking a waterhole and an open plain, lies a lodge that pulses to the rhythm of Africa’s heartbeat. Bush Lodge has earned a reputation of a “luxury home in the bush”, service excellence, personalised attention and offers an unrivalled 5-Star family safari.
Each stunning air-conditioned suite features sumptuous linens and fabrics, beautiful leather and wood furnishings, and an en-suite glass fronted bathroom with indoor and al-fresco shower leading onto a private patio.
Families with children of all ages are welcome and well-catered for at Bush Lodge and at the EleFun Centre where fun and games with trained caregivers are aimed at nurturing a deeper understanding and love for the surrounding bush.
There is ample space to relax, unwind and savour the tranquility of the bush. The two swimming pools and enormous covered viewing decks overhanging the Msuthlu riverbed are an invitation to cool off in the filtered water or sit in comfort while spotting game at the nearby pan. An exquisitely furnished lounge, atrium and intimate bar area are perfect meeting places for friends old and new.
As an extra indulgence, the Amani Spa at Bush Lodge offers the ultimate African spa experience.
