Spanish Farm Guest Lodge by Cape Summer Villas

Discover Luxury at Spanish Farm Guest Lodge

The Cape Summer Villas Collection’s distinctive Spanish Farm Guest Lodge, situated on a four-hectare estate in Somerset West, offers luxury air-conditioned guesthouse bedrooms and 5-star self-catering villas with lush indigenous gardens, stunning scenery, and panoramic views of False Bay and the surrounding mountains.

The Guesthouse: Upper Estate Elegance

Positioned in the upper part of the estate, the guesthouse offers three rooms with double/twin extra-length beds or a king-size/poster bed (respectively); all with the finest cotton linen and soft fluffy towels; en-suite bathrooms with showers (room 3 has a refreshing outside shower); and each with a private patio.

The guesthouse garden boasts panoramic views, an infinity swimming pool, and the secluded private self-catering Rose Cottage. This features a king-size (extra-length) poster bed, en-suite bathroom, access to a private sundeck, a private Jacuzzi, and views of the Helderberg Mountain.

Luxury Villas: Lower Estate Retreats

In the lower area of the estate, five luxury villas—each with its own lounge featuring a wood-burning fireplace and DSTV, a dining room, and a fully equipped kitchen—are set in magnificent indigenous gardens with beautiful fynbos vegetation and abundant birdlife. Private natural pools with wooden decks allow guests to sunbathe in privacy, while an expansive terrace overlooks the ocean—perfect for al fresco dining or enjoying a sundowner.

The Honeymoon Villa sleeps two with a king-size bed and magnificent sea views. The ground-floor Apartment (Villa 5), separate from the others, leads down through the garden. This stunning 100-square-metre open-plan apartment, sleeping two with an extra-length king-size bed, has been architecturally designed to the finest detail.
