Sunbird Mountain Retreat Guest House and self catering accommodation offers unsurpassed peace and tranquillity, combined with delightful luxury accommodation and hospitality.

The Retreat is isolated from the humdrum of life, offering escapism, yet it is a stones throw away from major attractions of the Peninsula, superb restaurants & numerous beaches. Minutes from Kristenbosch Botanical Gardens, the Constantia Wine route and the delightful Hout Bay Harbour & Village.

Walk out of your room onto the mountain, inhaling the fresh air & enjoying the diverse floral delights and mountain views or relax under the trees soaking up the ambience, enjoy the sun and the pool as the mood takes you.

Guests are treated to early morning bird calls & a sky full of stars seldom seen in the cities.

Our Guest House B&B rooms are spacious and finely furnished with attention to detail & comfort. Three upstairs double rooms with en suite bathrooms are furnished in pale wood & tranquil colours, offering tea & coffee facilities, telephone & internet connectivity, TV & heated towel rails. Adjoining each room are specially designed private opening balconies with comfortable recliners for enjoying the magnificent mountain and forest views or just basking in the oasis of peace & tranquillity.

From the downstairs family room, consisting of 2 adjoining double rooms, stable doors open onto a paved area & from here it is a short walk to the pool or onto the mountain side.

We boast a relaxing, warm & inviting lounge & courtesy bar, which during the winter months is kept warm with a blazing fire adding to the ambience.

Scrumptious breakfasts are full & hearty made by Ken taking into consideration your particular requirements & served in our colourful dining area or on the patio under the trees.


Surrounded by an oasis of greenery a short walk from the Guest House is our self catering accommodation.

The ground floor unit opens onto lush green lawn, with a sensation of space created by the not too distant "ring of mountains".

Our upstairs units sport unimpaired mountain & forest views. All self catering units have a spacious, restful yet colourful feel, with themes taken from nature.

Tasteful kitchens, neat clean cut bathrooms containing showers, offer magnificent forest & mountain vistas.

The downstairs unit has its own lawn under the trees & the upstairs units have their own private balconies, offering fresh air, superb views, peace & tranquillity.

There are numerous paths for walking or jogging and for the more adventurous the mountain beckons, with its varied indigenous flora. Relax and enjoy the peace and tranquillity of the forest from our Koi pond or bathe in the shadows of the surrounding mountains. There are numerous outside sitting areas for sundowners, braaing, relaxing & meditation.
