Sleep in the trees in a unique retreat overlooking False Bay.

Perched on the Muizenberg Mountain-side, the Owl House offers guests a unique garden stay with a distinct tree-house feel and is a short walk away from the buzz of Muizenberg village and its famous beachfront.

The self-contained 30m2, solar-powered bungalow is separate from the main house, with a kitchenette, work and dining space, & uncapped fibre, making it perfect for WFH.

The space
The Owl House is a large volume, open-plan space built entirely from timber and features quality finishes and details.

The kitchenette is equipped with a bar fridge, air-fryer, gas hob, kettle, a Bialetti mokka pot for coffee, as well as necessities to prepare light meals. Note there is no oven.
The mezzanine sleep space with queen-size bed is accessed by a comfortable stepladder and the spacious bathroom has a shower and lovely wall-length window.
Large sliding windows open onto the expansive views and the property’s garden, inviting the outside in. Solar power means consistent electricity supply – no loadshedding.
Barbeque/braai facilities are also available. The Owl House has its own security system for guests’ peace of mind.

Guest access
The bungalow is on the same property as the main house but has its own entrance and is gated off for privacy. Guests can expect to see residents accessing their own home on the stairs that run through the garden near the Owl House (visible from the large sliding window).

And guests are likely to hear the bustle that goes along with having a three-year old on the property as he plays in the garden, and general family life.

Other things to note
Our family live on the property so guests should anticipate hearing and seeing a degree of activity as we go about our lives. We are friendly, happy people but will not, to the best of our ability, impose on guests’ privacy. Our three year old is very social and curious but the gate does prevent access to bungalow area.

Our property is in a quiet cul-de-sac with only street parking available. Access includes about 25 steps. A security guard patrols the street at night.

The mezzanine level does NOT have a railing thus poses a risk. Please be aware of this at all times.

Lives in Cape Town, South Africa
Hi there. I'm Nicole, I live in Muizenberg with my husband, Alex, 2 kids and 2 cats. When I'm not teaching high school students, you're likely to find me in the kitchen, or devouring a good book, or on the beach/mountain with my family, or pottering in the garden. We love art, adventuring, beautiful things and meeting new people.
