The original structure of Cape Cadogan dates back to the beginning of the 19th Century. You will feel the charm and character as soon as you arrive!

The Cape Cadogan is a stately double-storeyed Georgian and Victorian building that dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. It was originally a single story Georgian farmhouse which was ‘Victorianised’ in the later part of the century. A second floor was added by the owner, Mr Heinrich Becker, in 1912 using Ernst Seelinger – a renowned architect and builder of this era.

The granite garden wall still contains the original iron work from the old quarry at the top of Kloof Street, and was a wedding gift to Mr Becker. Suite 3 used to be the old wagonshed and stable, the entrance of which opened into King Street. The building was awarded national monument status in late 1984.

Typical Features of Victorian structures: 

• Bay windows
• Sash windows
• Iron Railings
• Flemish brick bonding
• Patterns in the brickwork made from coloured bricks
• Stained glass in doorways and windows
• Roofs made of slate

ACCOMMODATION 

After experiencing everything from Table Mountain to Camps Bay, and nights out at your newfound favourite spot, you can go back to your private room, kick off your shoes and get really comfortable.

Each of the fifteen bedrooms has been individually decorated, striking a beautiful balance between classic-chic and bold-elegant. Choose between 7 Standard Rooms, 7 Luxury Rooms or the Superior Luxury Suite.

No two rooms are alike. Perhaps this is why many of our guests return time and again, in a quest to experience them all!
