Lapiz Lazuli
in Constantia, South Africa

Set on a working wine farm, this storied Cape Dutch manor offers an escape into South Africa’s past with all the comforts of modern luxury. Built in 1890 and beautifully preserved, the home retains its original character—from the signature gabled roof to the vineyards that roll out in every direction. The result is a heritage estate that feels both inspiring and grounding, where time slows and the landscape becomes part of the experience.

The villa hosts up to ten guests across five elegant bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. Interiors are warm and inviting, blending historical detail with contemporary refinement. A fully equipped kitchen, study, library and family room add layers of comfort to long stays. Wine enthusiasts will appreciate the private wine cellar and micro-winery, allowing guests to connect directly with the property’s winemaking roots.

Outdoor spaces are equally atmospheric. The garden includes water features, a rose garden, fig trees and a serene pool area framed by mountain views. Whether enjoying a quiet morning walk among the roses, lounging by the pool or dining outdoors surrounded by vineyards, every moment feels connected to the farm’s natural rhythm.

Housekeeping and Wi-Fi are included, while optional services—private chef or butler, spa treatments, personal trainer, security, excursions and villa pre-stocking—ensure a tailored stay.

Perfectly located, the villa sits just ten minutes from the Constantia Wine Route and within easy reach of Cape Town’s beaches, restaurants and iconic landmarks such as Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront.

A rare opportunity to stay in a living chapter of Cape heritage, this manor brings together history, craftsmanship and the gentle beauty of wine-country living.
