Boutique Guesthouse · Cape Town
Chestnut
Seven individually designed rooms, a private pool, a lush garden, and a mountain rising directly behind — all in one place.
A beautiful pool with striped sun loungers, hammocks, and a wooden pergola — the centrepiece of life at Chestnut Boutique Retreat.
Each room has its own name, story, and character — from white-washed brick and timber beams to lush garden outlooks.
Table Mountain rises directly behind the property — visible from the garden and terraces throughout the day.
Bougainvillea, banana trees, mango, and macramé — a lush, shaded garden made for lingering and slow mornings.
Chestnut Boutique Retreat is a boutique guesthouse where no two rooms are alike. Each has been designed with its own character — white-washed brick, timber beams, macramé, stone — and all of them open onto a shared garden that feels like a small private world. A lush tropical canopy, hammocks, a swimming pool, and the mountain watching over it all.
Every room at Chestnut Boutique Retreat has a distinct name, character, and design. No two are the same.
Where Time Slows by the Water
A raw driftwood bed sits beneath a driftwood branch chandelier strung with cage pendants. The bathroom is carved into a dark niche with mosaic tiles and a round mirror. Step outside directly onto the pool deck — this room and the water are inseparable.
A White Room with Old Soul
Whitewashed brick walls, exposed timber beams, a macramé wall hanging above the bed, and a chandelier that throws warm light across the whole room. Clean and honest, with the texture and character of something that has always been here.
The Garden That Lives Inside
Sage-green plastered walls, macramé plant hangers trailing down from timber beams, a wicker pendant lamp, and plants at every turn. The garden doesn't stop at the door — it continues right into this room.
A Little Room Made for Joy
Compact, cheerful, and full of personality. A pink bench on the private wooden deck, a stone wall entrance, and an interior that punches well above its size. Everything here was chosen with care — nothing is here by accident.
The Quiet Curve of Stone and Light
An arched plaster niche frames the bed, with wicker pendant lights casting dappled patterns across the ceiling. Outside, a curved stone seating area in a private garden nook. Calm, sculptural, and deeply restful.
A Room Made With Care
A perfectly arched plaster alcove holds the bed, flanked by wicker wall sconces that cast intricate light patterns across warm neutral walls. Minimal, intimate, and beautifully considered — the kind of room that makes you feel held.
Where the Light Stays Longest
The largest and warmest room in the house. Raw timber headboard panelling meets a feature stone wall, wicker pendants throw golden light, and a private deck with a reading chair makes this the room you'll be sorry to leave. A coffee station, mini fridge, and every small luxury already taken care of.
