Idyllic One Bedroom Retreat with Pool, Garden & Breathtaking Vineyard Views

Imagine waking up in the peaceful comfort of your private one-bedroom Sunbird Cottage, with sunlight streaming through the windows and birdsong from the surrounding gardens. Step onto your veranda with a fresh coffee and take in the sweeping views – vineyards stretching below, mountains rising in the distance, and a tranquil garden and pool just steps away.

Inside, the cottage is cosy yet spacious. The bedroom features a queen bed with crisp linens and an en-suite bathroom with both a bath and shower. The open-plan lounge and dining area is perfect for unwinding, while the well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare anything from a light breakfast to a romantic dinner.

Afternoons invite you to slow down. Take a refreshing dip in the solar-heated pool, wander through the private gate into Groot Constantia wine estate for a vineyard walk or tasting, or simply relax with a book or podcast under the shade of the trees. Sunbird Cottage is ideal for couples who love hiking, birdwatching, or just chilling out by the pool with a glass of wine in hand.

Evenings are best spent on the veranda, lighting the braai (barbecue) as the sun sets over the Constantia Valley, turning the sky pink and gold. Later, retreat indoors to the cosy lounge or to your comfortable bedroom for a restful night.

Though Sunbird Cottage feels like a countryside hideaway, it’s only a short drive to Cape Town’s highlights: Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, world-class beaches, and the vibrant city centre. Whether you’re adventuring or unwinding, Sunbird Cottage is the perfect retreat for couples seeking a balance of nature, relaxation, and a touch of vineyard living.
