Rosedene Guest House

An Edwardian villa on Upper Kloof Street, Rosedene Guest House sits in Higgovale on the lower slopes of Table Mountain, a five-minute drive above Kloof Street's restaurants and a short climb to the Table Mountain cableway road. The four-star property suits couples and hikers wanting quiet elevation over city-bowl noise.

Rooms keep high ceilings and sash windows original to the house; a small pool and garden terrace face the mountain rather than the street. Off-street parking is available, useful given Higgovale's steep, narrow lanes.

City Bowl restaurants and the V&A Waterfront lie a short taxi ride downhill.
