Step into a little entrance leading to a large room with Napoleon style wooden bed and teak sash windows offering a marvellous view. The room is centred by a petite decorative vintage fireplace on the left of which are linen upholstered shelves displaying an arrangement of architecturally designed lacquered metal objets and wooden hearts depicting love and harmony. Located to the right of the fireplace is a single teak sash window overlooking the waves breaking on the white sands of Muizenberg beach. On a clear day the distant coastline of Gordon’s Bay and Pringle Bay make an appealing vista. The large double teak windows overlook the indigenous park bordered by Muizenberg Mountain and clusters of pine trees, and dotted with ponds.

For those couples who prefer added privacy, the separate bathroom and separate toilet (still with the original toilet cistern and chain) make this room a good choice. The bathroom is furnished with a statement gold leaf Victorian basin (bath tube) of unusual length allowing comfort for the taller physique. A 17th century piece of marble hoisted on an antique carved wooden piano leg provides an unusual counter. A Venetian chair stands in a wardrobe upholstered with brocade from Bursa.
