About Ambleside House

Nestled in the leafy, tree-lined suburb of Pinelands, Ambleside House offers refined comfort and exceptional convenience in the heart of Cape Town. Perfectly positioned, Pinelands provides quick and effortless access to the city centre, Cape Town International Airport, Milnerton Beach, Table Mountain, major shopping centres, and leading medical facilities such as Vincent Pallotti and Red Cross Children’s Hospital. Business hubs, including Old Mutual, are equally close by—most destinations are just a short 5- to 15-minute drive away.

Accommodation

Ambleside House features a beautifully appointed self-catering cottage, completely private and fully self-contained, with its own garden and separate entrance. Guests benefit from two secure off-street parking bays behind automated gates. Inside, the spacious cottage offers a fully fitted kitchen—partially open-plan to the lounge—equipped with premium appliances including an SMEG gas hob and electric oven, an imported Samsung refrigerator, and all the essentials expected of a high-quality culinary space.

A generous, separate dining room provides the perfect setting for relaxed meals or elegant entertaining, complete with a round oak six-seater table and matching sideboard. A dedicated desk makes this an ideal workspace, and high-speed Wi-Fi throughout the cottage—along with multiple USB charging points—ensures seamless connectivity.

Both bedrooms are large and feature their own en-suite bathrooms. The main bedroom, stylishly finished in soft greys with bold red accents, includes a double bed and a brand-new bathroom fitted with a designer shower, bathtub, toilet, and basin. The second bedroom, decorated in a modern grey and red palette, offers twin iron beds and a charmingly styled en-suite bathroom with a shower, toilet, and basin. Ample built-in storage and hanging space are provided in both rooms.

The lounge is an inviting, comfortable space with a large-screen TV and full DStv Premium for guests’ enjoyment. French doors open directly onto the private garden and entertainment area, where an aluminium outdoor dining set provides a perfect spot for enjoying meals al fresco.

Facilities

To ensure uninterrupted comfort, the cottage is equipped with its own solar and inverter system, keeping the power supply stable during load shedding. A monitored alarm system offers added peace of mind throughout your stay.

Recently renovated and thoughtfully decorated, the cottage has been designed as a serene retreat—an ideal place to unwind after a day exploring Cape Town.
