About this property

Idyllic One Bedroom Retreat with Pool, Garden & Breathtaking Vineyard Views

Imagine waking up in the peaceful comfort of your private one-bedroom Sunbird Cottage, with sunlight streaming through the windows and birdsong from the surrounding gardens. Step onto your veranda with a fresh coffee and take in the sweeping views – vineyards stretching below, mountains rising in the distance, and a tranquil garden and pool just steps away.

Inside, the cottage is cosy yet spacious. The bedroom features a queen bed with crisp linens and an en-suite bathroom with both a bath and shower. The open-plan lounge and dining area is perfect for unwinding, while the well-equipped kitchen makes it easy to prepare anything from a light breakfast to a romantic dinner.

Afternoons invite you to slow down. Take a refreshing dip in the solar-heated pool, wander through the private gate into Groot Constantia wine estate for a vineyard walk or tasting, or simply relax with a book or podcast under the shade of the trees. Sunbird Cottage is ideal for couples who love hiking, birdwatching, or just chilling out by the pool with a glass of wine in hand.

Evenings are best spent on the veranda, lighting the braai (barbecue) as the sun sets over the Constantia Valley, turning the sky pink and gold. Later, retreat indoors to the cosy lounge or to your comfortable bedroom for a restful night.

Though Sunbird Cottage feels like a countryside hideaway, it’s only a short drive to Cape Town’s highlights: Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, world-class beaches, and the vibrant city centre. Whether you’re adventuring or unwinding, Sunbird Cottage is the perfect retreat for couples seeking a balance of nature, relaxation, and a touch of vineyard living.

About the host

Hosted by LUCY PULLICINO

Host profile image
We’re Lucy and James, originally from the UK (Lucy) and Malta (James). What started as a two-year adventure to Cape Town in 2017 soon became a forever home, and today we’re happily raising our two boys in the beautiful Constantia Valley.

We fell in love with Cape Town for its sunshine, mountains, wine estates, and the relaxed lifestyle that makes every day feel special. You’ll often find us hiking local trails, exploring new restaurants, or simply enjoying a glass of wine at sunset while the children play in the garden.

Hosting our cottages allows us to share what we love most about this part of the world. We’ve designed each space to feel stylish yet homely, with all the comforts guests need to relax, explore, and feel at home. Whether you’re here for a short break or a long stay, our goal is to make your time as stress-free and memorable as possible.

We’re always happy to share tips on our favourite wine estates, scenic drives, or family-friendly activities, but we also know when to step back so guests can enjoy their stay in privacy. What we enjoy most about hosting is welcoming people from around the world and helping them discover why Constantia is such a special place to live.

Our hope is that you’ll leave not just rested, but with memories of vineyard walks, mountain sunsets, and the warm, welcoming spirit of Cape Town.

Why they chose this property

We chose Constantia because it offers a lifestyle that blends natural beauty, history, and convenience in a way that few places can. Nestled among vineyards and framed by dramatic mountains, it feels like a countryside retreat, yet it’s only 20 minutes from Cape Town’s city centre, the airport, and world-class beaches. It’s this rare balance of peace and accessibility that makes the neighborhood so special.

Constantia is the birthplace of South African wine, and Groot Constantia – the oldest and most historic wine estate – is right on our doorstep. We love being able to step out of the garden gate and wander through the vineyards, enjoy a tasting, or settle into a long, lazy lunch at one of the estate’s acclaimed restaurants. Beyond Groot Constantia, the valley is dotted with award-winning wineries, boutique shops, and fine-dining restaurants, making it a haven for food and wine lovers.

What we enjoy most about the neighborhood is the connection to nature. Mornings often begin with birdsong and mountain views, while afternoons might be spent hiking in the surrounding trails or strolling through Kirstenbosch Gardens. Evenings bring stunning sunsets over the valley, a reminder of why we fell in love with this place.

Constantia is also wonderfully family-friendly and safe, with a warm sense of community. It’s a place where you can truly slow down and enjoy life’s simple pleasures, yet still be close to everything Cape Town has to offer. For us, it’s the perfect mix – a picturesque valley steeped in history, surrounded by nature, and alive with culture and charm.

What makes this property unique

Sunbird Cottage is unique because it combines stylish yet homely comfort with a truly picturesque setting, surrounded by the beautiful nature of Cape Town. This one-bedroom retreat is designed for couples or solo travellers who want both relaxation and adventure. From your private veranda, take in sweeping vineyard and mountain views, enjoy the lush gardens and solar-heated pool, or step directly into Groot Constantia – South Africa’s oldest and most historic wine estate.

Inside, the cottage is bright, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. The queen bedroom includes an en-suite bathroom with both a bath and shower, while the open-plan lounge flows into a well-equipped kitchen that makes self-catering easy. Every detail is chosen to make you feel at home, whether you’re here for a few nights or a longer escape.

The veranda is a favourite spot for many guests – perfect for morning coffee, an evening braai (barbecue), or simply unwinding with a book or podcast while the sun sets over the Constantia Valley. For those who love the outdoors, the cottage’s location is a dream: hiking trails, birdwatching, wine tastings, and vineyard walks all begin right at your doorstep.

What makes Sunbird stand out is the balance of peace and proximity. While it feels like a countryside hideaway, you’re only minutes from Cape Town’s top attractions – Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch Gardens, world-class beaches, and the city centre.

Sunbird Cottage offers a stylish yet homely escape in a picturesque setting, surrounded by the best of Cape Town’s nature. It’s the perfect choice for couples who want to slow down, explore, and experience the charm of Constantia.
