5 Bedroom House to rent in Constantia

Historic Herbert Baker Homestead in the Heart of Constantia Set along an avenue lined with pink, blue and lilac hydrangeas, The property is a magnificent 1898 Herbert Baker farmhouse offering laidback country living amid the vineyards of Constantia. With classic Cape Dutch-style gables, tall chimneys and a low, elegant profile, the homestead is beautifully settled into its dramatic mountainside landscape — one of only a handful of remaining farms just 15km from Cape Town's city centre. Spacious reception rooms flow into five comfortable bedrooms, furnished with antiques and artwork, comfortably accommodating a family of nine or a group of four couples and a single. The property blends old-world charm with modern amenities, all set against sweeping views down the Constantia Valley toward False Bay, Muizenberg and St James, with the Constantiaberg mountain rising behind. Guests can enjoy true resort-style living without leaving home — relax by the pool, dine on the terrace, or simply take in the panoramic views from this secret historic retreat on the southern tip of Africa. The estate comes staffed with two full-time housekeepers handling all cleaning, laundry and kitchen assistance, while a dedicated concierge service can arrange excursions, restaurant bookings, or even a private chef for more formal occasions. The surrounding neighbourhood is unbeatable: world-class wine tasting on your doorstep, celebrated restaurants like Beau Constantia and La Colombe nearby, and easy access to Muizenberg's warm-water beach, the tidal pools and low-key eateries of St James and Kalk Bay, plus Simonstown's penguins and Cape Point's untamed nature reserve — with central Cape Town just 20 minutes away.
