Constantia is the oldest Cape Town suburb, and also one of the most beautiful; known for its verdure as trees flank just about every street and adorn the vast majority of the gardens. It is an affluent suburb that is known for its luxurious homes, which have sizeable wine farms scattered liberally amongst them. It is also notable in terms of its topography, as it is home to the Constantia Valley and the Constantiaberg Mountain Range. These ensure breath-taking views from just about every angle. In addition, there is a mountain pass called Constantia Nek, which leads to Hout Bay.
This area was originally dedicated to wine farms when, in the late 17th century, the Dutch discovered the ideal conditions of the Western Cape for vineyards. Today, the best known farms in the area include Groot Constantia (established in 1684), Steenberg (established 1682), Buitenverwachting, Constantia Uitsig and Klein Constantia. Some of the country’s most esteemed restaurants are found here too, including La Colombe and Pastis French Patisserie.
Because this is a suburb of the city of Cape Town, it is close to a number of popular natural wonders and tourist attractions for which this city is acclaimed.
These include:
• Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens
• The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
• Table Mountain
• Lion’s Head
• Signal Hill
• The beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno.

Even the design of the building took the gorgeous scenery into account to ensure that it worked together with its surrounding beauty.
