A pied-à-terre. The New Court at Alphen comprises 17 sectional title residences that are built around a central square, adjacent to the Great Cellar on the Alphen Estate. The architecture of the development is part of the renaissance period of this historic estate and combines luxury with centuries-old charm.
This prestigious security estate offers an exclusive, lock-up-and-go lifestyle with a cosmopolitan ambience. Features include a white plastered facade, tall sash windows, arched entrances, plaster mouldings and carriage lamps reminiscent of the Old Cape architectural influence.

The main suite and two additional bedrooms are located on the first floor, with a large versatile loft room with a built-in desk that can be used as an office, teen pad, housekeeper's suite, guest studio, or TV and games room. The choice is yours.
Blanko Restaurant, Incognito Bar and La Belle Bistro & Bakery, all located at The Alphen Boutique Hotel, are right at your doorstep with convenient dining options for any time of the day.
