Come home to Observatory, the trendy Bohemian heart of Cape Town.

A peaceful and tranquil 4-bedroom home away from home with two bathrooms and a fully equipped modern kitchen with all amenities (Nespresso machine, air fryer and many more). Enjoy the comfortable double beds in each room, refurbished wooden floors, high ceilings and old world character in a completely modernised setting. Equipped with high speed fast internet (fibre), Netflix and Disney + as well as UPS to keep the WiFi going during load shedding periods. A perfect work-from-home setting or just a space to unwind, enjoy some quiet time and later, if in the mood, explore the trendy and arty neighbourhood of Observatory. The home is also equipped with 24-hour armed response and neighbourhood watch patrols around the clock.
Hi I am Zainab, I am a self-employed entrepreneur who loves the outdoors, nature, and socially interacting with different individuals from all over the world. I am a gracious, confident and patient host here to ensure your stay is as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
The Observatory neighbourhood is a safe, vibrant and trendy suburb whose proximity to the University of Cape Town (UCT) and its medical school in particular, has always made it popular for young professionals. Observatory has long been a vibrant area with numerous restaurants, coffee shops, bars, a hip night life, and many neighbourhood staples. Most restaurants and retail shops are located along Lower Main road with a 95-year-old bottle store, Observatory Liquors, situated in the middle. There is also a shopping complex in St. Peters square, which is located next to Groote Schuur academic hospital. Observatory also has a soccer hockey stadium below the station which is flanked on one side by Liebeeck Parkway and on the other by Willow Road. In this section of land, there is also a nine-hole golf course housed at the River Club. Observatory is also under the OBSID neighbourhood watch which patrols the area around the clock.
