Eleven on Luisa Way is a discrete, low-key property on a quiet residential street, but enter through the secure automated gates and down the driveway into a luxuriously pared down modern home. Aimed at the discerning traveller who is used to staying in contemporary hotels - Luisa Way offers privacy and luxury.
Enter through the double entrance doors into an enormous, open plan reception area with sunken seating are with a wall of glass that opens seamlessly, framed by the lap-pool.
The dining room and large kitchen area lead directly onto the outdoor dining and braai area next to the contemporary wooden deck, which wraps around the house. There are three large double bedroom suites with en-suite bathrooms and a fourth twin-bedroom with its own bathroom. The master bedroom comes complete with an open plan bathroom and an adjoining walk in dressing room that can also be used as an additional bedroom for infants or small children (cots and beds for small children can be provided on request). The second double suite has sensational views of the mountains and riding arenas in the Valley floor and a door directly onto the sun deck. The Large Outside Suite has it's own entrance from the parking area plus direct access onto the dining deck, with a large desk area and it's own open plan kitchen.
The extensive external areas are all very private with large outdoor lounge areas, a large dining table for 8-10, large braai, huge double sun-loungers and many levels of sun-deck so that privacy can be found. The extensive garden, which includes a large lawn area ideal for children, is surrounded by local plantation to ensure privacy and beauty in nature. There is ample, secure parking for 2-4 cars under an open pergola at the front of the property.
GUEST COMMENT: Dan Frost & Charlie Clapham, London, April 2009
"The huge light, airy, open areas in Luisa Way give you an immediate sense of calm and the huge reception area has a definite wow factor. We had the most relaxing time here with many friends coming and going throughout our stay - even when we had guests in all four bedrooms the house was never crowded as there are so many different areas within this large, secure, property. Everything we needed was taken care of with all the mod-cons in place, plus the biggest luxury; the fantastic Housekeeper who spoilt us rotten and did everything from our personal laundry to serving drinks by the pool... we thought we'd died and gone to heaven!"
Depart from the airport and drive into the centre of Cape Town and pick up signs for the Cable Way/ Camps Bay. Drive on the fantastically stunning coast road through Camps Bay on the M6 towards Llandudno/ Hout Bay, drive past the right hand turn to Llandudno up the hill and drop down into Hout Bay.
The road ahead forks - take the left hand fork signposted towards World Of Birds, follow the road down to the first traffic circle and turn left into Valley Road (signed to World of Birds).
Then take the first left hand turn into Lantedal Road and then the first right into Luisa Way (not sign posted). Drive for about 800 yards and on your right hand side you will see grey steel fencing and our entrance gates signposted Eleven On Luisa.
You have arrived! Press the bell and Lotty our Housekeeper will be waiting to welcome you for your stay.
