Panorama Guest House

Nestled at the foothills of Table Mountain, Panorama Guest House has been providing a cosy home-style guesthouse for over 15 years. Connect to our forest sanctuary; thrive as you synchronize your natural rhythm to the elements surrounding some of the most pristine indigenous treasures of South Africa.

We offer a unique guesthouse sanctuary experience, attune to the majestic views from our rooms, lounge and poolside deck, 180 degree views across the Stellenbosch range, all the way due South East, where on a clear day, a whisper of the blue waters from False Bay gives depth to the mountain range traversing due North East, with Cape Town tucked around the corner.
Please note that we are one of the highest properties in Newlands, and it is a steep uphill to the front door. Due to the incline, we designate guest parking right outside the main gate which is monitored by 24-hour surveillance.

Once you’re settled in, our staff will inform you of the in-house activity calendar for the week, with concierge holistic wellness experiences and guided hikes. In-house attractions include; arts, crafts and crystals, a collection like none-other. If you have a moment during your stay, ask to see our mystical museum-like experience, for now still tucked away in safe-keeping. Our passionate, friendly and sector trained in-house staff will narrate to you the heritage of the land. The legacy of the ancestors, and their epic life-story of empowering communities in central Africa, and a father’s vision for a space of co-creation for family and community.

With direct access to the pristine South African National Parks, we complete the panorama view, 360 degrees in all directions. A gentle stroll into the Afro Temperate Newlands Forest, ideal to calibrate your optimum serenity. Head due South West and you are in Kirstenbosch Gardens, undoubtedly one of South Africa’s most well preserved botanical gardens. Our in-house team has a wealth of information and maps from South African Biodiversity Institute (SANBI), allowing you to be more conscientious about the pristine fynbos and related flora in the region.

If you are feeling more adventurous, traverse across the well-marked trails which include; Newlands Ravine, Contour Path, Skeleton’s George, amongst a labyrinth of many hiking trails, heading due higher altitude, over and beyond, into the 7th Natural Wonder of nature, Table Mountain National Park.
