Property info

Soothing silence, fresh air, sweeping mountain views and plenty of fynbos – that’s what staying at this German-owned guesthouse, just outside Pringle Bay will be. Kapensis Guesthouse, at the foot of the Hangklip Mountains, is a place where time seems to stand still – as still as the quiet night air that separates you from the millions of bright stars overhead. All the luxurious conveniences you would expect of a 4-star guest house are part of the Kapensis experience, but you’ll never feel over-pampered. The rooms are extremely spacious, with earth coat floors and minimalist design, offering incredible views that make sleeping with the curtains open a great idea!

Neighborhood info

Kapensis Guesthouse has a magnificent setting in the heart of the Cape's uniquely rich fynbos region. There are breathtaking mountain and ocean views at this 8.5 hectare fynbos farm on the outskirts of Pringle Bay, and it provides the perfect setting to enjoy a relaxing getaway. Enjoy all the attractions this beach side town and its surrounds have to offer, such as the land based penguin colony at Stony Point, the art galleries and wine routes, the golf courses and pristine beaches, the botanical garden, hiking and biking routes and whale watching in season.
