Stonewood Hideaway

Description

Stonewood Hideaway is a luxury villa on the slopes of Table Mountain, hidden “somewhere” between Hout Bay and the Constantia Valley amid exotic aloes, leafy ferns and ancient Frangipani trees.

Described as an enchanted forest, Stonewood is a labyrinthine wonderland where the organic design merges seamlessly with the surroundings – a natural evolution of the hillside.This six-bedroom private villa is located on the verdant hills of Constantia in Cape Town. Wine lovers will know that this is where some of South Africa’s oldest vines can be found and established winemakers produce some of the country’s finest varietals, notably Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Sauvignon, in this area.

The brainchild of an eccentric movie director, the villa is utterly unique in style. Stonewood has evolved over 25 years into a playground for both children and adults that delights guests with its whimsical design. Exploring the property is like going on an adventure, where every room has a story and surprises await around every corner and every curve.

Perhaps the adventure is more of a treasure hunt as Stonewood reveals itself slowly to guests. Explorers will soon discover that there is more to it than meets the eye. Part Narnia and part Robinson Crusoe’s treehouse, the five levels of the villa weave in and out of one another, connected by pathways that lead to stone courtyards protecting mystical gardens of water and stone. With one spiral staircase leading to another, Stonewood leads you into wonderland where the enchanting forest and mountain views take your breath away.
