Photos and Description of the Constantia vacation house rental
4 Bedroom en suites

Walloon Farm is owned by a well traveled family who appreciate its historical value and who have painstakingly renovated this home to bring back an ambiance and atmosphere of a by-gone era of the Cape. This home is a real treasure to be absorbed by those with a desire to share in the finer things of life – in the present – but with the style and grandeur, reminiscent of 150 years ago. Located in Constantia, known for famous wines, scenic drives, farm stalls and only 15 minutes from the city center.

Welcome Note: Walloon Farm was built in the middle of 1800´s during the time when Constantia was surrounded by rolling hills of farm land and vinyards. The homestead has been very carefully restored and maintained to the finest detail. Our guests are check in by our friendly housekeeper or property manager who will ensure that your stay is comfortable and memorable. I hope you feel the warm hospitality that has been carefully prepared for you.

In 1917, Magistrate Mr. Rousseau sold the farm to Mr. Douglas Schuddinh, who in 1920 created the front door with the original doors from the Cape of Good Hope Savings Bank building. This historic entrance engulfs you into a home that is adorned with magnificent yellow wood beam roof and floors. A long and wide corridor leads you to the four suites and enclosed courtyard.

Suites: Constantia Suite - A king size antique wrought iron, four poster bed centres the room. It is draped with soft white laced linen. A double door opens up to the veranda and garden area.

Paarl Suite - Two beautiful gable headboards featuring old cape Dutch ships decorate the extra length ¾ size beds. Separating the bed is an antique stinkwood hand wash table and two small wagon chests are found at the foot of the beds. Large French doors open up to an outdoor patio and garden.

Stellenbosch Suite - An extra length queen size bed centres the flowered gabled headboard. This large spacious room is set under the main gable of the homestead, allowing two large main doors to open up to the pool area. A magnificent early 20th century stinkwood cupboard, table and rumpies chairs, embodies the authentic Cape Style of the time.

Franschoek Suite - A queen size plantation style bed is set in this spacious room and a extra single bed that is surrounded by large windows and doors.

Living Areas: Lounge - This spacious open lounge greets you with two large beautiful Mexican oil paintings and bibliotheques adorned with fabulous books. The oriental rugs bring warmth into the room blending in with the various artifacts of the East. This area leads you into the two main corridors, a cozy study and a 14 seater dining room fit for private dinners.

Study - This cozy area features a large stone faced fire place that warms the room. Two open book shelves embrace it. Modern necessities such as desk top with Internet and printer sit next to the large teak desk. A flat screen TV with cable and DVD is conveniently placed for viewing.

Courtyard - This spacious enclosed courtyard is bright and airy. A large flat screen sits conveniently inside a teak double door cupboard. This is surrounded by white linen L-shaped seating. A perfect place to smoke, read, make a BBQ and entertain with drinks.

Absolutely Devine!

Really, this lovely home is even prettier than in the pictures. It's exquisite. Staying at Walloon Farm feels incredibly luxurious and we loved every minute of it. The owner was very kind to us, and our stay here and time spent exploring the Cape Town area was nothing short of magical. We have stayed in many vacation homes and this was far and away the best! I only hope I will have the opportunity to return again some day.

We felt Home, Special Home

We spent a week at Wallon Farm,and it was really something very special.
The Villa is a pure Cape Dutch style, so inspiring that makes you feel special, too. Apart from being in such an exclusive location, it was refurbished with care and respect for the history and style, but also creating a confortable environment with all one needs to spend a wonderful time away.
From the vintage wood floor, to the collection furniture the owners collected from their worlwide lifes in a right balanced mix, this house is a trully experience that upgraded our vacation to a standard that we had never experienced before, staying in the best of the Hotels.
The several ensuites are as much confortable as one may ask for. Large beds, walk in rain showers, are unusual for this kind of villa, we though before arriving. There are hundreds (really) of picture books about Architecture, Hotels, History and many other themes, available to the guests to enjoy their stay in the house.
The surrouding garden is as beatifull as a protection to your privacy from the quite neighborhood. Take your time to see the stars from the terraces at night or listen the birds in the early morning.
Around and so close there is a special environment to explore, from the Constantia Village shopping area to the historic Constantia wineries.
The all area is like a garden that makes you forget that you are in one of the busiest and trendiest towns of nowdays.
From the Constantia area, one drives easily and directly to the major spots, llike Cape Point, Hout Bay, Table Mountain, Stellenbosh, Franschhoek and others.
Last but not least, Victor, the butler. Wowww, what a luxury to have someone available allways looking to be helpfull and improve your stay, allways with a smile.
We are already missing Wallon Farm.

Outstanding vacation

We stayed five days and found everything perfect. The house is beautiful and the best part is Victor the butler. He is a wonderful man who makes sure every need including a hot breakfast and clothes washing are perfect. He keeps the place spotless. The house is quiet and close to local shopping and restaurants. A 15 minute drive to city center. Highly recommended! Please tell Victor the Watts family says hello!!

A Marvelllous House in Constantia, near the wineries

  • 5 of 5
  • Submitted: May 30, 2011
  • Stayed: May 2011
This beautiful house is located in a nice and upscale neighborhood in Constantia, close to local shopping market, restaurants and just a short drive to some of the wineries. We rented a car from Cape Town airport and was able to get to the house in about 20 minutes. After a long trip from Phoenix, Arizona, we arrived very late in the evening and was completely charmed by Victor, the butler, who welcomed us, in his dark suit and bow-tie, with a bottle of wine, biscuits, and a fire in the hearth.

The house is securely gated, well kept, and just as nice as presented by the web page. The rooms are large and artfully decorated. The garden is well manicured, and it was very enjoyable to sit outside in the comfortable lounge chase and sip on coffee in the morning. A PC and free wifi are also available.

We bought eggs, juices from the local grocery and Victor served us breakfast. He even offered to cook us dinner but we never had a chance to try out his culinary skills.

Many of Cape Town's tourist attractions are well within driving distance. Traffic was never a problem.

Overall, our families of 5 adults greatly enjoyed our stay at Walloon Farm. It certainly exceeds our expectation and is much more comfortable and uniquely enjoyable compared to staying in a sanitized, all too-familiar luxury hotel room.

This home is an extraordinary place and it was an honor to have my family stay here. It simply is not possible to rent a home of this caliber and character anywhere that I have seen. The home is a historical landmark that has been renovated beautifully. To top it off, there is a butler (for real) that takes care of all your needs. It was an unforgettable experience that my family will cherish.
