Angala: Luxury Room

In the foothills of the majestic Simonsberg Mountains, surrounded by verdant gardens and steeped in the kind of countryside tranquillity city folk can only dream of, lies Angala, whose owners have created an understated haven where comfort, quiet and a soul-restoring slow time are a given.

Nature is part and parcel of Angala’s holistic approach: outside showers offer majestic views – and the added bonus of a chorus of birdsong in the mornings – while sprawling private gardens open up from enclosed patios, revealing lemon trees and indigenous fynbos, as well as beautiful wooden sculptures.

If luxury linen, a well-stocked minibar and a glorious fireplace are high on your list of requirements, you won’t be disappointed. In the bathroom, floor-to-ceiling glass panes let the light stream in, with an extra-deep tub for lengthy soaks and opulent double showers and basins adding to the luxe appeal.
