About this place
Ibis House is a Cape colonial villa set on seven acres of private gardens in the Constantia valley, fifteen minutes from the centre of Cape Town. A network of ponds and streams runs the length of the property, old oaks and palms shade the lawns, and a private gateway leads straight into Tokai forest for walks on the mountain.
The house is let in two ways. Take the whole villa for a family or a group of up to fourteen: seven en-suite bedrooms with marble bathrooms and spa baths, balconies with garden and mountain views, a library, three outdoor entertaining areas and a 20 m swimming pool. Or book a single room on a bed and breakfast basis, from the Steenberg Luxury Suite with its wraparound balcony to the Poolhouse beside the water.
Groot Constantia, Klein Constantia, Buitenverwachting and Constantia Uitsig are all a short drive away, as are the Steenberg golf course and some of the Cape's best restaurants. The beaches of Muizenberg and Kalk Bay on False Bay, and the Atlantic side of the peninsula, are around fifteen minutes by car.
