A city oasis!
Beautiful things come in small packages. The romance of the unraveling of a revered interior designer’s pied-à-terre in Cape Town’s City Bowl District, is enough to set the heart fluttering with desire alone. Way before you’ve even settled in, for your city escape to unfold.
Situated at the very tip of Long Street, adjacent the legendary baths, overlooking lush gardens from a secluded balcony, in an old Edwardianinspired block – just a skip away from Kloof Street – No. 208 hauls you away from the madding crowds of its domain and cradles you in its elegant, cozy embrace. Bathed in natural light and cocooned in silence, its spaces have been stitched together by the owners’ inimitable design and wisdom, with style and sagacity. The cloisters and Edwardian detailing, the fanlights and small oculus windows. The collection of textiles and tiles, heavy-hanging curtains and antique cabinetry, the Moroccan grass matting walls and the ebonised rosewood bed from Lisbon all add to the spirit of the two-bedroomed apartment. Its identity and personality. Managing to preempt the tone of your stay in this bespoke hideaway. Its curated pieces of treasured collectables share their tales of travel with you and how you’ve also ended up here, as if to remind you on the value of motion, spontaneous getaways, and the memories one can make in the city.
