We are very lucky to live in one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods in Cape Town. Constantia is a green, tranquil suburb, renowned for its historic wine estates and natural beauty. Nestled at the base of Table Mountain National Park, the area is a haven for nature lovers and wine enthusiasts alike. Constantia is home to some of South Africa’s oldest vineyards, offering world-class wine tastings and picturesque scenery. The area is dotted with restaurants, offering everything from charming cafe's to fine dining experiences. It's tree-lined streets and spacious properties create a peaceful, countryside feel, yet it’s just a short drive from the vibrant city centre and coastal villages like Kalk Bay on the Indian Ocean or the renowned Clifton beach on the Atlantic Ocean. Constantia is perfect for those looking to experience Cape Town’s natural beauty while enjoying the finer things in life—whether it's hiking the nearby trails, sipping on award-winning wines, cycling or exploring our city, Constantia has much to offer.
