Barry Hall Luxury Apartments
Fresnaye Cape Town - South Africa
Email Barry Hall Luxury Apartments Reservations: booksa@madbookings.com
Four
spacious, luxury self-catering apartments and a garden cottage set in
an historic manor house near Sea Point in Cape Town, just minutes from
the beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, the V&A Waterfront and the city
centre.
This gracious, four star turn-of-the-century establishment
lies just off the hustle and bustle of Sea Point’s Main Road in
one of the quiet suburban streets of Fresnaye, in Cape Town.
Despite the owner’s scrupulous attention to the historic aspects
of the house, Barry Hall is a contemporary and modern rendition of the
period home.
The furnishings and décor have a distinctly retro/Scandinavian
influence and there is a minimalist touch emphasised by the addition of
several large windows to allow the maximum amount of light into the home.
