Rodwell House

Exclusive Boutique Hotel

Redefining elite seaside holidays in Cape Town is 5* Rodwell House in the sun-soaked village of St James.

Enjoy finest wine and food pairings plus lively local café life. Secluded within a walled acre of pristine gardens yet only a stroll away from seductive day- and night-time activity, Rodwell is 10 minutes from top vineyards and gold medal restaurants, only 20 minutes from either CBD or Cape Point, and light-years away from boredom or tour groups. This is a luxurious and intimate destination, both revitalising and nurturing.
