2 Bedroom House in Bo Kaap

A HOUSE REMEMBERED

Dating from the 1870s, 116 Wale Street is one of Bo-Kaaps oldest surviving homes. After decades of alterations and neglect, an extraordinary four-year restoration has returned the house to its original character, with misplaced walls removed, windows reinstated and every material and finish carefully considered.

The result feels wonderfully effortless: unmistakably traditional in soul, yet with all the comfort and luxury of contemporary living.

Restored as a private home rather than for resale, there is an authenticity here that is increasingly rare. In a world of flash and excess, 116 Wale Street is refreshingly understated a beautifully considered sanctuary that feels entirely at home in its history.

A rare piece of Bo-Kaap heritage, remembered and brought back to life.
