‘Noah’ means rest in Hebrew and, once you cross Noah House’s welcoming but low-key threshold, you will understand why this apposite name was chosen. Everything at this calming boutique hotel is designed to give you a restful and fulfilling break, from the delicious coffees and wines at the honesty bar to the thoughtfully curated South African art regularly rehung on the walls.

Located in a Victorian house that dates to 1860, Noah House has retained much of its period charm but with a limited palette that allows the glimpses of Table Mountain and the city lights to sparkle. A highlight is deciding what to do for the day with the owners who can easily recommend secret gems and truly special experiences.
