Easy does it
The Walden House
Providing the perfect balance between old and new – in the form of a stately old Victorian house, decorated and fitted to perfection with modern amenities – Walden House dates from 1900 and has Table Mountain as its backdrop. Guests are treated to an experience akin to a “home-away-from-home” – complete with soft tones and crisp whites, nods to South Africa’s quirky culture and some Victorian elements to complete the picture. Offering a peaceful haven, it is still a mere stone’s throw from all the excitement that the city has to offer.
