Our Highgrove Cottage sits right on the border between Kirstenhof and Tokai, directly across from the Blue Route Mall. Tokai is one of Cape Town's leafy southern suburbs in the Cape's oldest wine region, the Constantia Valley. The infrastructure in Tokai is first class, shopping malls, gas stations and restaurants are all "just around the corner". From the house, it is only a few meters to the Steenberg Golf Club and some of South Africa's most famous wineries, such as Steenberg Estate, Groot Constantia and Buitenverwachting.
From here it is not far to...
large shopping centres (Blue Route Mall, Constantia Emporium and Constantia Village), several golf clubs (e.g. Steenberg, 3 km away) and the famous Constantia Wine Route with its numerous excellent restaurants. White sandy beaches and the centre of Cape Town with all its attractions such as the V&A Waterfront, various museums and theatres, the Cape Malay district, the Parliament, Companies Garden, the cable car to the Table Mountain plateau, the Newlands Rugby Stadium and various markets can be found within max. 30 minutes of driving time can be reached. And this list could be extended indefinitely!

Constantia itself is one of the poshest parts of Cape Town. The lovely landscape makes you forget that you are in the immediate vicinity of a big city. The villas are surrounded by park-like gardens, some also have paddocks and vineyards.
On the Constantia Valley Wine Route, you can get to know the famous wineries in the green valley of Constantia. Groot Constantia was founded in 1685 and given to the first governor of the Cape, Simon van der Stel, as an experimental farm for agricultural products, who mainly developed viticulture here and made Constantia wine world-famous. In 1925 the Cape Dutch mansion burned down completely. After its reconstruction, it now houses a museum that gives an insight into the life of the first Cape settlers. A walk across the extensive estate is worthwhile simply because of the great view of the Constantia Valley.
A stone's throw away is Klein Constantia Wineries, famous for its white wines, Constantia Uitsig and Buitenverwachting, home to one of Cape Town's most exclusive restaurants. The access via an avenue lined with mighty oaks is an experience.
On the way to Hout Bay, you will pass the new, very exclusive wineries that have produced world-class wines in recent years: Constantia Glen, Eagles Nest and Beau Constantia. At the end of the valley is the renowned Steenberg winery. In the early 1990s, a world-class 18-hole golf course and a top restaurant were built here.
