    The staff (as well as the owners) were delightful and we were given a warm welcome. The location close to Gate 3 of the Kirstenbosch gardens in a leafy area of Constantia was excellent. Tim put up the Thai flag for my partner. breakfast was...

Tim & Margie Scarborough
Klein Bosheuwel is the closest Guesthouse to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, 200m (5 min walk). We are situated on the ridge of Bishopscourt and we are the only property that overlooks both Bishopscourt and the Constantia Valley and the vineyards. Our well established garden is an acre in size and is tranquil with a secluded swimming pool. Guests can see a great variety of birds, fish eagles are often be spotted, The owners live in a cottage situated at the bottom of the garden, leaving the house and gardens for the exclusive use of the guests, but we are close if you need us. The Guesthouse has well appointed bedrooms enjoying views of the gardens, the valley and the mountains. The large airy sitting rooms, patios and dining room are welcoming and relaxing for our guests.
Tim immigrated from Jersey, Channel Islands, to Cape Town in 1963. He bought Klein Bosheuwel in 1986 and he and his late wife Nicki developed Klein Bosheuwel into a Guesthouse. Tim is now married to Margie and together they run the Guesthouse. One of Tim’s hobbies is vexillology (You might have to Google this!) so look out for the flag of your home country flying in anticipation of your arrival. Tim and Margie both enjoy travelling and discovering new parts of our beautiful country. Margie loves gardening and the fresh flowers from the garden can be seen all over the Guesthouse and herbs from the garden are used for breakfast. Tim played rugby all over the world and is a member of the False Bay Rugby Club.
We are situated in the Constantia Valley, which is one of the historical and cultural hearts of Cape Town, and famous for centuries of wine making, spreads out below the gardens of Klein Bosheuwel. Our conveniently central location means that we are only a 15 minute drive to the Cape Town Waterfront , as well as just 15 mins to the Hout Bay and the Muizenberg Beaches. For the food and wine connoisseurs, the Constantia Wineries, only 10 mins from us, Beau Constantia, Constantia Glen, Eagle's Nest and Groot and Klein Constantia offer wonderful food, great views to go with their fine wines. Well worth a visit. There are numerous walks, hiking trails and biking trails, for all levels, and many of them start in the vicinity of Kirstenbosch For the golfers there is the Steenberg and Westlake Golf Courses. Tim and Margie will make sure that you make the most of your visit to Klein Bosheuwel
