CRAIGLEA VILLA

Old world meets new in this exquisitely elegant and beautifully manicured property. Nestled in the heart of the exclusive suburb of Newlands at the base of Table Mountain, Craiglea Villa seamlessly blends colonial-era design with modern-day functionality.
Designed in a Colonial-African style, the villa has large, spacious rooms with contemporary décor. The ground floor features the living, dining, and entertaining areas with a grand entrance hall, elegant sitting and living rooms, and a beautiful dining room with high ceilings.

The entrance hall has stunning parquet flooring and a cosy sitting area with plush leather couches and a large fireplace. A formal dining room has a 10-seater dining table and chairs, a large fireplace, and lovely views of the garden through a large bay window.

A huge, bright, and airy kitchen has everything needed for easy holiday living and entertaining. State-of-the-art appliances include a gas oven and stove, and dishwasher. A scullery houses a fridge/freezer, washing machine, and tumble dryer. A picnic-style table and benches provide a place to enjoy breakfast and easy meals. The kitchen has large windows that can be folded back to allow full views of the garden.

Just off the kitchen is a casual family room with comfortable couches and chairs and large sliding doors that open onto a patio and the garden and swimming pool area. A spacious television room has comfy couches, an entertainment system, and sliding doors that open onto the garden. There is also a games room with a pool table and table football with double doors onto a patio and a cosy bar area.

Upstairs there are five elegantly furnished bedrooms with carpeted floors, en-suite or shared bathrooms and lovely garden or mountain views. The master bedroom has a king-size bed and a spacious en-suite bathroom with a large shower and a freestanding bath. The second bedroom has a queen-size bed and an en-suite bathroom with a shower, while the remaining three bedrooms have twin beds and a shared bathroom with a shower.

The villa is surrounded by an acre of mature gardens with stunning views of Table Mountain. There is a floodlit tennis court and a large swimming pool. A large pergola near the pool covers an eight-seater dining table and chairs for alfresco dining, and a smaller pergola in the garden is ideal for relaxing.

The entrance to the property is through two large iron gates which open automatically onto a sweeping in-out drive. There is secure parking for several vehicles in the drive as well as a garage under the property for two cars.

NOISE & CONDUCT
This property is in a quiet residential area, and we're required to uphold strict noise regulations set by the body corporate and/or local council. By proceeding with your booking, you agree to the following:
• No parties or events of any kind at the property
• No music or noise audible to neighbours between 9pm–7am (weekdays) or 10pm–7am (weekends)
• No hooting or shouting in the street at any time

MONTHLY STAYS
For bookings on a monthly rate:
• Electricity and Water is for the guest's own account. A deposit will be required for any properties that pay water and electricity via account instead of pre-paid.
• A minimum of one housekeeping visit per week is required at a cost to the guest. Daily housekeeping is not included, but can be arranged and paid for separately, subject to availability.

GUEST NUMBERS & ADDITIONAL GUESTS
The property only permits the number of guests stated at the time of booking to stay overnight. Additional guests over and above this number may not sleep at the property unless express permission is given by the Property Manager in advance. Where permitted, extra beds will need to be hired (subject to the property allowing this), and the hire cost will be for the guest's account. A damage deposit may also be required to cover any damage to hired items.

LIABILITY FOR VISITORS
The main guest and their travel companions are responsible for any additional guests they invite onto the property, whether for a visit or otherwise. The main guest/group will be held liable for the actions of these additional guests.

CHILDREN
Children are welcome at this property. However, some features - such as balconies, split-level terraces, or unfenced pools - may pose safety risks. Guests travelling with children do so at their own risk and are asked to supervise closely throughout their stay.

TRAVEL INSURANCE
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance that includes cancellation cover and cover for loss/theft of personal belongings.

GROUPS
Bookings by groups made up entirely of solo/unrelated travellers are not allowed unless by prior request and approval. Bachelor/bachelorette party groups are not permitted under any circumstances.

ELECTRICITY & LOAD-SHEDDING
South Africa periodically experiences load-shedding - scheduled and unscheduled power outages that can last 2.5 hours or more, sometimes with little to no advance notice. Most of our owners have taken steps to minimise disruption to your stay. We recommend downloading the EskomSePush (ESP) app to track outage schedules and plan around them. Please note: load-shedding is governed by South Africa's electricity providers and is outside our control. As such, the Property Manager and owner are not liable for refunds, compensation, or discounts arising from service interruptions due to load-shedding.
