​Discover 13 Avenue St Louis, a private, century-old heritage home in Fresnaye, Cape Town, where sandstone architecture, thoughtful design, mountain air, and the Atlantic come together.

A Cape Town Retreat
Like No Other

​

​

Set on the slopes of Lion’s Head, the house offers three bedrooms, private outdoor spaces, a pool, a jacuzzi, mountain views, and the sea just a short walk away. It is a place for slow mornings, long lunches, and evenings spent under the Cape Town sky.

​

Serenity

​

A century-old home designed for living well. High ceilings, sandstone walls, wood floors, soft light, and carefully considered interiors create a calm, welcoming atmosphere. The house feels private and settled—full of character, but never crowded.

​

Comfort

​

Everything is arranged for an easy stay. Three bedrooms each have their own bathroom, with two king beds and a third room that can be arranged as either twin beds or a king. There is fast Wi-Fi, a Sonos sound system, a 65-inch 4K television, and quiet spaces to retreat to throughout the house.

​

Luxury

​

Luxury here is thoughtful rather than showy. Swim in the black-tiled pool, relax in the jacuzzi above the city, cook in the open-plan kitchen, or gather around the Weber braai as the light changes over Cape Town.

​

Peace

​

Fresnaye is the quiet side of the Atlantic Seaboard. Tucked above Sea Point and sheltered by Lion’s Head, it offers calmer evenings, mountain views, and a sense of privacy while remaining close to the city. The Sea Point Promenade is a twelve-minute walk away.

​

Adventure

​

Cape Town begins at the front door. Walk uphill towards Lion’s Head, follow the coastline to Clifton and Camps Bay, explore the Bo-Kaap, visit Kirstenbosch, or take a longer day trip to Constantia, Kalk Bay, Boulders, or Cape Point.

At 13 Avenue St Louis, the mountain is behind you, the sea is in front of you, and Cape Town is yours to explore.
