Villa Bezweni

This villa is situated in one of the most beautiful areas of the Helderberg district, known as Somerset West, making it the perfect base from which to explore the Cape Winelands and surrounding areas. Located within Knorhoek Estate, this double-storey private sanctuary is surrounded by pristine fynbos and offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean and surrounding mountains. Guests can enjoy the unique experience of off-grid living without compromise, within the safe and secluded environment of this prestigious estate. One of the standout features of the property is its full energy independence, powered by 90 solar panels and an 80 kWh battery system. Heating throughout the villa is provided by wall-mounted heated panels, internal gas heaters, and additional electric heaters, ensuring year-round comfort. The villa features bright, open-plan living areas that seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor spaces. The upper level includes a spacious lounge opening onto a large balcony with spectacular views of False Bay, as well as a stylish kitchen and dining area. Two king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms are located on this level. The top floor is wheelchair-friendly, with no steps or changes in level, and Bedroom 1 is equipped with handicap-accessible bathroom facilities. The lower level offers a second living space with its own kitchen, dining, and lounge area, along with two interleading king-size bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms and direct access to the outdoor area. Please note that this level is accessed via stairs and is therefore not wheelchair-friendly. The outdoor area features a heated infinity swimming pool, maintained at approximately 26°C. Pool loungers provide the ideal setting for relaxation and entertaining while taking in the surrounding natural scenery and views. Air conditioning is available in the common family living spaces upstairs; however, there are no air-conditioning units in the bedrooms, which are instead equipped with portable fans. The property also includes a self-contained cottage with a private entrance, which is not included in the rental. Dining services are available upon request, including breakfast prepared by the on-site cook for an additional fee. Lunch and dinner can also be arranged at an extra cost. A farm manager is on-site during working hours and is available to assist guests with any needs or personalised requests in collaboration with the Property Host. Knorhoek Estate is home to the Idiom Wines restaurant, located just minutes from the villa and offering fine dining in a beautiful vineyard setting. Somerset West provides easy access to local shops, attractions, and renowned wineries, and attracts visitors from around the world with its magnificent views of the Helderberg and Hottentots Holland mountain ranges and sweeping bay vistas.
