The space
Thanks for choosing to stay at Kinvara villa which is normally home to me and my partner. We are from Ireland and Pakistan and absolutely in love with Cape Town. Kinvara is an Irish word which means by the water and also has a close relation to Kinara which means the same in Urdu. We have highlighted below some of the amenities in our home but if you have any specific questions then please ask and we will try and help where we can.
We love to host our friends and family and our home is set-up just for that with plenty of spaces to hangout as a group or to get away on your own to enjoy the stunning views over lions head, table mountain and the twelve apostles. You can even watch the hikers climbing the lions head or watch the cable car go up from the comfort of the terrace or the pool lounger!
Lounge / Entertainment areas
A large lounge with enough comfortable seating for everyone to sit and relax anytime of the day. The room has pieces from our travels across the world but of course includes some of the best local artisans. There is an also a 99â home cinema screen tvâs for those movie nights when you just want to crash after a long day of adventures.
The lounge is connected to the outdoor terrace for the indoor / outdoor living ( as well the Cape Town views) and gets plenty of natural light and views over the pool and the gardens.
Kitchen / Dinning
We spend a lot of time in the kitchen! This is where the magic happens, so itâs certainly set-up for you to make your meals when you are not out enjoying the amazing Cape Town restaurants. Itâs also perfect for those nights where you want a private chef to cook you a feast for those special moments. We even have a special locally made pottery dinner set available as an extra for the special nights. Ask us if you would like to get some recommendations for chefs.
