Why we love it: Reclaimed furniture pieces, two outdoor spaces, Balinese-style bathroom
This 200-year-old Victorian house feels steeped in Cape heritage, thanks to its prime location within the quaint village of Kalk Bay. Thick stone walls, original wooden floorboards, and towering sash windows mix happily with cool reclaimed furniture pieces, giving the spot a stylish, authentic look that’s equal parts considered and curated. The ground-floor apartment opens onto two outdoor spaces—a harbor-facing terrace at the front and a secluded plant-filled courtyard at the back—so you can enjoy a morning coffee sheltered from the wind. Inside, the rooms are spacious and calming, with two comfortable bedrooms with big, squashy beds and a Balinese-style bathroom with a luxe outdoor shower. When it’s time to head out, you’re well placed for all the sights, being just moments from Kalk Bay’s cafés, tidal pools, and antique shops, letting you soak up the character of this charming seaside neighborhood immediately.
