Summit Place Guest House
Out and about from Summit Place
Summit place is central to many of Cape Town’s exciting attractions which makes it an ideal holiday destination. The central Southern suburbs location also makes it ideal for business travellers. We are surrounded by the world heritage site, Table Mountain Reserve. Constantia Valley is steeped in history dating back to 1685 when the natural beauty, good soils and fine climate made this an ideal location for the Cape's oldest wine farm, Groot Constantia. The rich tapestry of Constantia's history includes Boer War spies and Constantia wine in the cellars of Napoleon.
Within easy walking distance of Summit Place is Constantia's Wine Route with world class restaurants, wine tasting and cellar tours. Nature lovers will enjoy the nearby Tokai forest and walking trails in Silvermine Nature Reserve. From there a short trail amongst endemic fynbos flora reveals a panoramic view stretching from False Bay to Cape Point.
