Built in early 2007, the delicate, contemporary styled Mountain House rests lightly on its stone-clad base.
The Mountain House exploits its majestic perch to the full, with sea views and valley vistas spread before the lucky guest like a scrumptious smorgasbord of Nature’s diverse riches; to the east gleam Fish Hoek’s sandy crescent beach and the azure waters of False Bay where whales can be spied disporting themselves during the calving season from July to November; to the south, the Swartkop Mountains ring historic Simon’s Town and across the Fish Hoek valley Elsie’s craggy Peak dominates the skyline; to the west lie the verdant fairways of Clovelly Country Club with Chapman’s Peak in the distance.
But it is perhaps closer to The Mountain House that its most precious natural assets lie: the ridge of Trappieskop, whose, rock-strewn, fynbos-clad slopes flow down practically to the front door, and the Silvermine River Wetland reserve, abustle with thriving indigenous bird species, which flows lazily past beneath its picture windows.
