Mbali Lodge is a luxurious private family home set in the serenity and breathtaking beauty of Table Mountain’s Nature Reserve, yet it is just minutes from the Cape’s famous beaches, vineyards, restaurants and exclusive shopping.

There is plenty to suit all tastes here. Set in a 50 acre private estate with 24 hour security, Mbali (meaning ‘flower’ in Zulu) has scenic mountain trails to explore on the doorstep and the country’s oldest vineyards just down the road, as well as Hout Bay’s long sandy beaches. Meanwhile the buzz of Camps Bay, the V&A Waterfront and central Cape Town are all within easy reach.

Excellent cafés and restaurants abound nearby in case you do not feel tempted by Mbali Lodge’s fully equipped modern kitchen or its smart built-in braai (barbeque) by the private lap pool.

Inside, Mbali Lodge is a haven of soothing colours, comfort and luxury.

The open plan living area has an elegant fireplace, large comfortable sofas and armchairs, an 8-seater dining table, television and a selection of DVDs

Decorated by a well-known Cape Town designer, the three bedrooms feature stunning fabrics, armoires and crisp white bed linen, and each room has its own immaculate bathroom.

The spacious Master suite has a free-standing bath and glass-roofed shower with a view to the sky.

Glass sliding doors lead out onto a broad wooden deck. This is the perfect place to laze after a swim
or relax with a book.

Better yet: pour yourself a generous glass of the Cape’s best and drink in that magnificent view.
