Description

4 Cyphia Close comprises 3 wooden cabins perched on the mountain side and finished during the lockdown. Each accommodation is intended to carry a small footprint and be experienced as cabin perched in the natural surroundings of mountains and fynbos.
The magical garden and outdoor spaces are a key highlight of this property, designed by a talented local garden designer to be entirely indigenous and mostly local fynbos growing in this specific area. It boasts a beautiful natural rock eco pool, outdoor sitting and eating areas and an outdoor firepit, with endless views of the mountains and sea from various angles, and abundant birdlife and local wildlife (spot the frogs, mongeese and caracals).
The garden area includes a kitchen garden, composting section, rainwater harvesting, walkways and paths, and has been designed with long term sustainability in mind, particularly with Cape Town being a water scarce environment.
There is direct access to the Sandy Bay Dunes Nature Reserve via a back gate on the property, where guests can walk about 200m up the hill, onto the sand dunes and down to Sandy Bay and across to Llundudno along the hiking paths, as well as onto the Shipwreck Trail. The top of the dunes are popular with groups and families for picnics. Please look out for the sign to the beach, follow the path behind the main house (not by the deck and pool) and respect our privacy.
If you're a surfer, Sandy Bay and Llundudno are both in walking distance. If you're a family with kids and dogs, welcome to heaven. This place is a paradise for hikers, trail runners and cyclists, and even the less fit can enjoy an almost flat walk (from the top of the dunes) along the contour of the mountain, with incredible views across to Camps Bay, the 12Apostles and Lions Head. This location literally cannot be beaten.

- No guests or visitors beyond the overnight booked guests permitted without prior arrangement. Additional guests will be charged for.
- Children <10 are charged for like any guest and allowed by prior arrangement only. The property is not ideal for very young mobile children due to open pools, stone steps, deck drop offs etc. Any children remain the guests’ sole responsibility on the property

- Hazards: The eco pool is a natural rock pool with no fencing and no cover. The Fynbos Pod is up a short hill with uneven rock steps and the deck has unprotected sides with drop offs of around 1m on some sides. The is also a sharp drop off out of the sliding windows, which has a balustrade. Anyone using the property needs to exercise suitable caution and does so at their own risk. We will not be liable for any injuries
- Cape Town is known for being windy at times, in both summer and winter. It can be particularly windy up on the mountain and the cabins are built of steel, glass and wood so it can be noisy during high winds and you can also expect movement of the cabins
- The cabins all have blinds except for the Sentinel, which does not have any blinds or curtains due to the incredible views. Privacy in the bedrooms is managed by slatted shutters and bathroom windows are frosted. The shutters will not keep out the light at sun rise (5am in summer). Sleeping masks are available. The living areas are private to the north using shutters but are positioned along the pedestrian road of the nature reserve on the south. The house is intended to create a feeling of living outdoors while being indoors. This isn’t for everyone so please rather do not rent this house if this isn’t your cup of tea.
