Description:
This classical Cape Dutch-styled manor house (± 636m² or ± 6837ft²), built in 1941, offers a Cape Colonial lifestyle par excellence. The manor house is majestically set on 4.5 acres of beautifully manicured gardens and borders the Groot Constantia wine farm. The peaceful country atmosphere of this unique and splendid region is balanced with the one-of-a-kind elegance and old-world charm of the mansion. Situated in the heartland of the 'Constantia Valley Wine Route', where vines were first planted in 1685, Buitenzorg Estate is the ideal haven from where to explore the many fascinating offerings of the Cape.
The dramatic background of the mountains, the expanse of the Groot Constantia Wine Estate and the beautiful floral gardens of Buitenzorg offer world-class serenity from where you may explore and enjoy this most prized area.
Buitenzorg offers you more than mere accommodation. Total privacy, comfort, freedom, peace and tranquillity are yours to enjoy in a secure environment that no hotel can duplicate. The Colonial Cape Dutch styled residence is an entertainer's paradise and is fully equipped with satellite television, DVD players, surround sound-systems, an ADSL broadband internet connection, telephone, printer and facsimile and is serviced with daily housekeeping. The home also provides state of the art security systems, a garden cottage, swimming pool, sauna, flood-lit tennis court, Koi pond and organic vegetable garden.
Our management will be more than willing to accommodate any special requests that you may have from a chauffeur to a personal chef so that your vacation remains comfortable and relaxed. This home is ideal for large families, groups of friends keen on a grand getaway, or business executives looking to host a memorable function. The manager is on call 24 hours a day for any special request or assistance.
