This is the perfect place to take in the view of the mountain in all its glory, absorb the night sky in contemplative wonder or feel at one with the natural surroundings as the textures, forms, and lights of the space compliment the outside world.

When entering the suite, it immediately feels welcoming, with the foyer area spilling into the open plan lounge that in turn touches on the free-flowing dining and bar areas. Made for the ultimate relaxation; the living room area is designed in such a way that it is both a space of entertainment and privacy. The cream L-shape sofa invites all who enter to enjoy, while warm lighting and neutral tones are interspersed with rich, natural materials and hints of color to create a beautiful kaleidoscope of color. The final finishing touch to this immersive room would be the golden protea-adorned rugs, and the larger-than-life Table Mountain Ghost Frog side table, both of which entrench the Table Mountain inspiration.

Adjacent to the living lies the dining space, a bright and colorful space that invites in laughter and enjoyment to match its buoyant coloring. The 10-seater marble-top dining table takes center stage to the awe-inspiring backdrop beyond the terrace whilst a direct replica of the mountain hangs above the table in the form of a wooden chandelier, the rivets of each wooden level mirroring the view before you.

Unwind with a drink at the stone-top bar and built-in private cocktail station, under the glow of the pendant lamps. Drawing on the more earthy tones of olive, burnt orange and brown, this sublime area is filled with small details that seamlessly blend into a usable work of art and turn a suite of this stature, into a home away from home.

Moving down to the master bedroom and beyond, the suite is a private haven. Unwind in the warm tones, soft curves, and playful textures inspired by the plants and contrasts of the mountainous backdrop. Naturally crafted pieces by local artisans elevate the space and add charm and a sense of the city’s history. An adjourning study is ready at a moment’s notice, the subtle dark leather and wood making the space feel cozy and luxurious.

The soft lighting through to the bathroom makes for the perfect backdrop to the night sky outside, with the pearl-like round centerpiece bathtub offering a unique perspective of Table Mountain. Created for luxury, not only is this bath unique in its placement and bathing view, but the bathroom itself is one made to be enjoyed.
