In Scarborough, villa gardens make the most of the natural surroundings with age old Milkwood trees and an abundance of greenery. Potted plants—both indoors and out—bring texture and color to courtyards, balconies, and terraces, creating a peaceful atmosphere that connects indoor comfort with outdoor calm.

Noordhoek, known for its open spaces and rural charm, offers villas with expansive gardens designed for outdoor living. These grounds often include vegetable gardens, paths and walkways that lead through open lawns, shaded areas, and past features like ponds and seating spots, encouraging slow exploration and time spent in nature.

Across both locations, outdoor areas are a key part of the villa experience. Whether you prefer the leafy calm of a tree-covered terrace or the open feel of a landscaped estate, each setting offers space to breathe, unwind, and connect with the natural beauty of the coast.

Did you know that Constantia is South Africa’s oldest wine region? Founded in 1685, it is known for its historic estates and the famous Vin de Constance, once enjoyed by Napoleon and Jane Austen. The area still reflects its Cape Dutch heritage with beautifully preserved manor houses and old vineyards.

What makes Constantia special is its mix of history, natural beauty, and a relaxed, upmarket feel. It’s surrounded by lush greenbelts, mountain views, and forested trails and home to excellent restaurants, artisanal markets, and boutique stays.

Popular things to do include wine tasting at estates like Groot Constantia, Buitenverwachting, and Constantia Glen, exploring Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens nearby, or mountain biking in Tokai Forest. The Constantia Greenbelt offers scenic walking, running, and horse-riding trails through forests and streams.

Whether you’re into nature, wine, or just quiet charm and luxury villas, Constantia offers a bit of everything.
