Nestled high up on the wooded southern slopes of Table Mountain, The Tarragon commands dramatic views over the Hout Bay valley. With over 8000m2 of grounds, the overwhelming atmosphere is one of space, tranquillity and a certain aloofness from the rest of the world.
Five cottages have been created out of Cape sandstone, each one individually designed and furnished with top-of-the-range appliances and a sleek, modern style that belies the country setting. With the possible exception of Thyme, which is right next to the pool, each of the cottages is very private, though some can be linked to accommodate larger groups. Each has its own shady veranda, and with the many different terraces and lawns within the landscaped grounds every guest can escape entirely from the others.
Backing on to the property is part of the Table Mountain National Park, and there are numerous hiking trails within a stone’s throw. Peacocks and butterflies and dragonflies highlight the remote setting, and yet the bustling city is just a twenty minute scenic drive away.
Ideally situated to explore all the Cape Peninsula has to offer, The Tarragon is a fabulous base for couples or family groups.
