This original Manor House, set on 1447m in a secure estate, was built in 1941 and recently undergone extensive renovations to make it the grand Residence it is today.

The deep veranda, with the beautiful 60 year old Bouganvilla is where you can appreciate the breathtaking views this property has to offer. This is one of two outside entertainment areas as the main veranda with pizza oven leads to a further veranda where you will find the pool and braai area.

More about the estate:

Klein Welgemeend estate, located just beneath Boyes Drive, on an east-facing slope of Muizenberg Peak, enjoys commanding views over False Bay across to Hangklip, and of Zandvlei northwards across the suburbs of Cape Town. Home to an original, elegant Cape Dutch manor house, which has been granted heritage status by Heritage Western Cape, the estate boasts an authentic colonial charm.

Overlooking the protected waters of False Bay, Lakeside lies between the suburbs of West Lake and Muizenberg, with the rugged Steenberg, Mountain of stone, towering in the backdrop and the Zandvlei (sandy lake) in the foreground.
