General Information

Rodwell House, in the sun-soaked village of St James, is redefining elite seaside holidays in Cape Town. It nestles between the Kalk Bay Mountains and False Bay, world famous for whale-watching, warm sea bathing and a sheltered Mediterranean climate.

Enjoy fine wine and food along with the lively local cafe life. Secluded within a walled acre of pristine gardens yet only a stroll away from seductive day- and night-time activity. Rodwell is ten minutes from top vineyards and gold medal restaurants, only twenty minutes from either CBD or Cape Point, and light-years away from boredom or tour groups. This is a luxurious and intimate destination, both revitalizing and nurturing.

Furnished impeccably, guests luxuriate in suites providing unashamed comfort and privacy. Leisure rooms, terraces, gym, boulle field and swimming pool fed by a mountain stream are on offer. Sophisticated technology ensures global communication and fingertip entertainment.

At Rodwell House a wine and food extravaganza beckons. Rodwell takes food seriously and the romantic period dining room hosts lingering and pleasurable evening events. The cellar is world class, matched with the freshest of seasonal cuisine. Sun and gentle sea breezes whet the appetite. Take an energising mountain stroll or a refreshing dip in the tidal pool below the gardens, and then dine on freshly grilled lobster with an aged Montrachet.
