Enjoy a French Provencal-inspired stay in the heart of Cape Town
Just off Cape Town’s busy Kloof Street in a renovated 19th-century farm building is the tranquil boutique guesthouse, La Grenadine. With its 6 bedrooms set around the courtyard garden, shaded by old pomegranate trees, the intimate setting is complemented by the distinct French Provencal styling. Each room is uniquely decorated with a combination of vintage and modern furnishings, including unique pieces from local designers. Wherever possible, the guesthouse is environmentally-friendly, with low-usage plumbing, and efficient heating and solar panels to keep energy consumption as low as possible. In addition, 1% of La Grenadine’s turnover goes towards charitable causes.

The Cape Peninsula has a Mediterranean climate marked by warm, dry summers and cool, wetter winters. For northern hemisphere visitors, take note that South Africa’s seasons are reversed, so July is the middle of winter, and January is peak summer. The Cape Peninsula experiences most of its rainfall in the winter, from June to August. Although winter can have quite dramatic storms, warm sunny days are not uncommon.
