Cape Town, South Africa

Nimano Hillside epitomises luxury and style with its 4 spacious bedrooms; a sanctuary of peace in the heart of Noordhoek. It has everything you need for the makings of a perfect family holiday!

Serenely settled within the tranquil surroundings of Crofters Valley, nestled around the torso of Noordhoek’s hilltops, overlooking the valley of historical farmhouses and contemporary bungalows, farm stables and paddocks, vineyards and village posts, with sweeping views of the ocean and rugged mountain range, NIMANO Hillside beckons you in to an inspired sanctuary where the sentiments of function, finesse and familial love sit at the helm.

Having traversed the globe for that picture-perfect lifestyle with the dreams of building an idyllic family home – a base from which they could spread their European wings and explore the utopian pockets of Africa – the owners of NIMANO Hillside discovered a vacant plot in one of the most charming hamlets on Cape Town’s peninsula. Its perfect positioning cushioned into the hills – absorbing the magnificent views of the verdant landscape and mesmerising ocean – pulled at the heartstrings of the German~Austrian owners, and thus began the building of NIMANO. Where a European influence of expertise, equipment and materials met an African narrative of artisanal mastery, craftsmanship and construction. They invested years of remote project managing and decision making alongside the local team of architects and designers, to see their vision grow, adapt, transform and formalise into its own perfection. Every space of the home has been consciously considered in alignment with the owners’ intent of marrying luxury and refinery with the serenity of the environment. A Camelot of contemporary spaces – where inimitable style meets comfort and nostalgia – open themselves out into nature, seamlessly blending in with the natural light and the rich colour palette of the landscape. The beautiful, enchanting gardens manicured in harmony with the indigenous vegetation that prevails.

Days spent at NIMANO Hillside will unravel at a leisurely pace of holiday indulgence. Where you’ll tap into the placid tempo of Noordhoek’s clock. Rising with the sun creeping over the mountains and landing on the tips of the ocean’s tide in front. After a few gentle laps in the magnificent swimming pool, you’ll settle on the verandah, shaded from the morning sun, as scents of a hearty brunch waft through the open doors and hover over the dining table. A long walk along the beach, a ramble up the mountain, a visit to the neighbouring markets, a steady cruise along the coastline hunting for more secret spots beside the sea. You’ll spread your wings and pivot from this pocket of paradise in Africa. Just as the owners intended for each discerning guest to enjoy, whilst being completely ensconced in luxury.
