Charming Victorian guesthouse
Established in 1994, this exceptional Victorian guesthouse and self-catering cluster comprises eight individual properties across five erven, tucked away in a serene, character-filled private retreat. Mature, established trees—including two magnificent old avocado trees—create a peaceful, shaded atmosphere that feels worlds away from the bustle of town.
Lovingly maintained over decades, the property proudly preserves its original Victorian vintage charm, offering timeless elegance, warmth, and authenticity throughout. Currently operating as a successful self-catering establishment, the layout and ambiance lend themselves to a variety of exciting future possibilities.
There is excellent potential to introduce a quaint coffee shop with an undercover Victorian “stoep”, complemented by a vintage shop and art gallery, enhancing the already curated, old-world aesthetic. A small hall, currently dry-walled, allows for easy conversion into a venue suitable for intimate weddings, birthdays, private functions, or cosy celebrations.
The property offers ample secure on-site parking, two separate braai areas, and a flexible configuration that opens the door to multiple income streams or lifestyle ventures. With its scale, privacy, and charm, it is ideally suited for student accommodation, old-age care, long-term rentals, overnight stays, or creative and hospitality-focused ventures.
Key Features:
27 bedrooms
13 kitchens / kitchenettes
19 secure inside parking bays
8 properties on 5 erven
Two separate braai areas
Small hall with easy conversion potential
Two huge, mature avocado trees
Established trees providing tranquil shaded spaces
A rare opportunity to acquire a well-established, versatile Victorian retreat with history, heart, and exceptional future potential.
