This stylish and elegant home nestles among sighing hilltop pines in Rome Glen, Somerset West, with mountain vistas on one side and unparalleled views of the ocean of False Bay from Gordon’s Bay to Cape Town, on the other.
The two luxurious en-suite “Rooms with a View” both have double beds and balconies with breathtaking views, making them among the most spectacular of overnight spots in the region.
Your hosts are Danie and Hanli Slabbert, parents of three grown children and a new grandchild. Their family home has been lovingly built and decorated in elegant simplicity reflecting the lands they’ve loved and visited.
