The Alma House 1900 brings together refined contemporary comfort and the enduring character of Victorian farmhouse design. Situated in the historic suburb of Rosebank, a leafy and distinguished area of Cape Town, the property forms part of one of the neighbourhood’s original homes, first built in 1900 by Mr Pillans.
The recently restored Alma House 1900 presents a collection of individually styled guest rooms and suites, where modern sophistication is thoughtfully balanced with classic Victorian elements, creating a calm and elegant retreat on the edge of the lively southern suburbs.
The house has been thoughtfully reimagined as an adults-only luxury boutique establishment, offering carefully curated bed and breakfast accommodation, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a serene garden setting that pays homage to its heritage as a traditional Cape homestead.
Each en-suite bedroom is furnished with a super king-size bed and reflects a sense of understated elegance, enhanced by carefully considered details and high-quality finishes. The interiors offer a peaceful and inviting atmosphere, complemented by a writing desk, a well-selected chair, and tasteful décor curated by an interior designer, lending a refined and timeless character to each space. In keeping with the tranquil environment, the property does not include televisions, allowing guests to fully unwind and enjoy the quiet surroundings.

Guests are invited to enjoy an à la carte breakfast served on the spacious terrace, where fresh ingredients sourced in part from the garden contribute to a wholesome and flavourful start to the day, all while taking in the beautiful surroundings.
Rosebank stands out as one of Cape Town’s most appealing and conveniently located suburbs, offering a peaceful residential setting that feels pleasantly removed from the pace of the city while remaining easily accessible. Positioned within the Southern Suburbs, the area is characterised by its tree-lined streets and an appealing mix of Victorian and Edwardian architecture. This rich architectural heritage creates a distinctive, village-like atmosphere that resonates with visitors in search of an authentic and memorable stay.
