The Restio Country Guesthouse is a beautifully restored historic property, dating back to 1896, situated in the heart of Napier's Main Street. The establishment, affectionately known as the 'Lady in Red,' has recently celebrated its 125th anniversary and stands as a testament to preserved heritage in this picturesque Western Cape village.
The guesthouse, owned and operated by Jonno and Maya, offers five uniquely appointed suites, each featuring modern amenities including en-suite bathrooms, free Wi-Fi, smart TVs, and tea and coffee stations. The Nerina Suite particularly stands out with its luxury free-standing bath, while two of the suites offer private entrances from the Buttress Patio and are pet-friendly.
The property showcases original Oregon Pine features in its communal lounge and maintains its historic charm while providing contemporary comforts. Accessibility has been thoughtfully incorporated with wheelchair-friendly ramps throughout the property and a dedicated paraplegic guest cloakroom.
Dining options include a sophisticated a la carte breakfast service in the dining room, with additional special dining experiences available upon request, including traditional braai options and picnic hampers. The attached Coffee Shop & Bakery complements the guest experience with fresh pastries and beverages.
Located just two hours from Cape Town, the guesthouse serves as an ideal base for exploring the region's attractions, including the beaches and fishing spots of Arniston and Struisbaai, and L'Agulhas, the Southernmost Tip of Africa. The establishment's multilingual hosts can accommodate guests in English, Afrikaans, French, and German, ensuring a welcoming stay for international visitors.
