Four spacious, luxury self-catering apartments and a garden cottage set in an historic manor house near Sea Point in Cape Town, just minutes from the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, the V&A Waterfront and the city centre.
This gracious, four star turn-of-the-century establishment lies just off the hustle and bustle of Sea Point’s Main Road in one of the quiet suburban streets of Fresnaye, in Cape Town.
The large and lovingly restored home has carefully retained the feeling of the former house, built at the turn of the century, as well as a number of the features:
- corniced window frames
- pressed wallpaper
- a carved mahogany staircase
- lead glass windows
- traditional vast hallway
- fireplaces
- wooden floors
Despite the owner’s scrupulous attention to the historic aspects of the house, Barry Hall is a contemporary and modern rendition of the period home.
The furnishings and décor have a distinctly retro/Scandinavian influence and there is a minimalist touch emphasised by the addition of several large windows to allow the maximum amount of light into the home.
Each of the four self-catering apartments and the garden cottage has:
- modern kitchens and bathrooms
- cable television
- pay-card telephones
- broadband access
The sunny front garden is an artful display of indigenous plants, herbs and roses that invite one to idle away the morning, whilst the intimate back garden provides a cosy setting for the charming garden cottage. It is also readily equipped for relaxation and barbecues with beautiful vines cleverly trained over a wooden pergola to provide shade for the patio.
