Welgelegen
is a jewel of a Guest House, a gem set in a leafy cul-de-sac in the cosmopolitan
city bowl neighbourhood of Gardens.
Secluded
and serene, it is only just around the corner from both Long and Kloof
Street, two of Cape Town's trendiest restaurant and design destinations...Hence
the name Welgelegen... the Dutch translation for "well-situated".
The
Guest House comprises two Victorian houses joined by a wonderful cobbled
patio with plunge pool , enclosed by terraces of iceberg roses and star
jasmine.
|
| You
can begin your day here breakfasting in the morning sun with Table Mountain
your backdrop, or end your evening under the stars with a chilled Cape
sauvignon and fairylights flickering amongst the surrounding foliage.
All
rooms are individually furnished with earthy neutral tones and splashes
of both African chic and classic bohemia. The emphasis is on comfort...from
the candles, the natural Rooibos bath products and the towelling dressing
gowns in each bathroom, to the home-made biscuits, complimentary port and
huge inviting armchairs in each room.
The
beds all convert to King size, and are inviting with crisp white linen,
duck down duvets and soft silky cushions. Every room has it’s own
charm, most have balconies offering views of Table Mountain, Signal Hill
or the patio below. |

One
room has a travertine surround bath in the room complete with open fire-place,
another has it’s own private garden and lily pond! The attention
to detail is reflected in the choice of artwork on the walls, the variety
of books both old and new, the evening biscuit and olive bar, and the sumptiousness
of the living room sofas. There is an overall feeling of luxury and spaciousness
… in the modernized dining room complete with leather chairs, enormous
ornate mirror and lime mosaic’d fireplace… in the huge beaded chandelier
in the hallway…and in the tall windows and high ceilinged cornices of the
living rooms… The atmosphere is both intimate and charming, and the
room feels inviting and familiar! |
| Fiona,
the owner, has upgraded many of the older bedrooms and bathrooms marrying
the old with the new, maintaining the ambience of chic afrique and timeless
classicism. The still fairly new in-house treatment room provides even
further pampering for the soul with holistic and polarity based massages,
aromatherapy and stress release reflexology.

Alternative
therapies as well as manicures, pedicures, and paraffin waxes are also
catered for. Welgelegen retains the ambience of a well-preserved
and treasured home whilst simultaneously sharing it's warmth and sophistication
with all those who venture up its hydrangea and lavender path. This guest
house offers commitment to comfort, and a personalized (and efficient)
service. In the words of a recent visitor..." Welgelegen is excellent value
and in a different league… it offers a personal vibe in a naturally blessed
destination.
