THE CAPE PENINSULA TRAIL
The Cape Peninsula Trail is a slow walk through the world's smallest, richest floral kingdom - guided daily on foot, and based the whole way from a single private villa above Cape Point. A botanist joins you for an afternoon in Baskloof to point out what's underneath
No packing up each morning. No convoy of guests. Just one villa, one small group, and a fynbos coastline that changes character with every ridge you cross.
Mornings are spend walking - along cliff paths about Cape Point, through the flowering slopes of Baskloof, down to tidal pools along the coast. Afternoons return to the villa, while a private chef, a pool and a fire boma are waiting.
It is the same unhurried pace, set against the Cape's mountains and two oceans instead of the Indian.

Cape Peninsula Trail
Fynbos coastalline, from Baskloof to Cape Point.
One villa. Nothing else to arrange.
A single private villa on a mountain ridge above the Atlantic, inside the Baskloof Nature Reserve. Every night of the trail is spent here - unpack once, and let each day's walking radiate out from your own front door and back again.
Five en-suite bedrooms. three lounges, a pool deck overlooking Baskloof, and a protected courtyard with a fire boma for the evenings - run by a private chef for the length of your stay.
We team up with a botanical specialist for one afternoon of your stay, so you can learn a little more about what's growing around you - toasted with a G&T mixed from botanicals gathered right here in Baskloof.
Sleeps up to 10 guests
Pool bar & fire boma

THE DAYS
Walking days, led by the wind
Every path starts and ends at the villa, so there's no packing - a day or two on the cliffs of Cape Point, the across into Baskloof. The order runs with the wind, s no two trails look quite the same.
1
ARRIVAL
Settle into the villa, then an easy orientation walk, a sunset drink and a delicious dinner to kick things off.

CAPE POINT
Cliff paths, fynbos slopes and panoramic ocean views. We take our time, with plenty of stops along the way.

BASKLOOF
A beautiful day through flowering valleys and mountains ridges, with your botanist guide.

DEPARTURE
A relaxed breakfast at the villa, then time for the goodbyes before you head off - refreshed, reconnected and slightly sun-kissed.
