The Property
Welcome to this beautifully appointed, fully furnished apartment nestled within the prestigious Sitari Country Estate in Somerset West — one of the Western Cape's most sought-after addresses. Thoughtfully designed for the discerning professional or couple seeking a premium medium-term residence, this spacious home offers the perfect blend of modern comfort, generous space, and the unparalleled lifestyle that draws visitors from across Europe to the Cape Winelands region.
Step inside into a bright, open-plan living and dining space that flows effortlessly to a private covered patio — complete with a traditional South African braai (built-in BBQ) — and a beautifully landscaped garden bursting with colorful sage and other blooms. The natural light, generous proportions, and quality finishes immediately signal that this is and extraordinary rental.
Living Spaces
The open-plan lounge and dining area is furnished with a comfortable L-shaped sofa, wall-mounted flat-screen TV with AppleTV, and a warm wooden coffee table — everything you need to unwind after a day exploring the winelands. The space connects seamlessly to the kitchen, creating the kind of sociable, airy layout that will make you feel immediately at home in.
The Kitchen
The sleek, modern kitchen is fully equipped for those who love to cook — featuring ample cabinetry, a breakfast island with bar stools, a Miele oven and stove, microwave, and all the essentials you need to prepare meals at home. Whether you're recreating a favourite recipe or experimenting with local South African ingredients from nearby farm stalls and markets, you'll find everything at hand.
Bedroom
The generous master bedroom is a true retreat — decorated in warm taupe tones with a striking black-framed double bed, crisp quality linen, matching bedside tables, statement lamps, and abundant built-in wardrobe space.
Office
The second bedroom has been thoughtfully configured as a fully equipped private office for two — complete with dual-monitor desktop setups, ergonomic chairs, and abundant natural light from large windows overlooking the estate's green surroundings. This makes the property an exceptional choice for remote workers, digital nomads, and business professionals who need a serious, productive workspace without sacrificing home comforts.
Bathrooms
The property features two modern, fully tiled bathrooms. The en-suite master bathroom is elegantly finished with a walk-in rain shower, wall-hung toilet with concealed cistern, and a sleek vessel basin on a floating vanity — all in a sophisticated grey and white palette.
The family bathroom offers both a full-sized soaking bath and a separate shower enclosure, providing flexibility and comfort for all.
Your Private Outdoor Sanctuary
Step outside to your own covered patio — the perfect spot for morning coffee, al fresco dining, or an evening braai (BBQ) under the African sky. The patio connects to a beautifully maintained lawn and garden, where the abundance of plants attract birds and create a tranquil, natural atmosphere. The patio is equipped with an electronically retractable wind/sun shield to make for a functional space even if the weather is somewhat unpleasant. A sun lounger invites you to simply relax and soak up the famous Western Cape sunshine.

Frequently asked questions for this offer
What happens after I make a reservation?
Once you send a reservation request, the landlord is notified that you are interested in their offer. From that moment, they have 24 hours to approve or reject your reservation.
Landlords are mainly interested in the profile of their tenant. Do not forget to fill in all necessary information, add your profile picture, or even make a short video about yourself. Doing that will make you more attractive for the owner and your reservation will more likely get approved.
What is the standard furnishing of flats?
All the apartments on offer on Flatio must meet certain standards. We require fully furnished and equipped ones, dishes, cutlery and internet connection included.
What is a medium-term rent?
The duration of a medium-term rent is usually 1 to 12 months. Most of the landlords offer long-term rents or rents for just a few days, therefore getting a medium-term rent without Flatio is not that easy.
Can I go through the contract before I make a reservation of the housing?
You can take a look at the contract in advance and online with every offer. After you sign it, you will find it in the application My Housing.
While arranging a contract on Flatio, you do not have to worry that it could be disadvantageous for you. Our contracts are made so that we avoid all problems! All of them are the same, used by all the landlords on Flatio.
Can I see my chosen accommodation in person before I sign the lease agreement?
Your time is precious. That's why we've added a virtual tour option to our platform so you can see some of the rentals listed on Flatio from the comfort of your own home.
If a virtual tour isn't available for the accommodation you've chosen, you can contact the landlord and ask them if they're willing to give you a personal tour of the rental unit.
If you move in and find that the rented accommodation doesn't match the information on Flatio at the time the reservation request was sent to the landlord, you can withdraw from the lease agreement under certain circumstances explained in this article in our help center.
Also, under our "secure move-in" policy, we'll assist you with moving to an alternative accommodation if you report within a certain period of time that the rental unit doesn't match the ad and the landlord doesn't fix the problem immediately. You can read the details in our help center.
How can I pay?
On Flatio, you have a variety of payment methods to choose from. You can use your card, payment gateway or bank transfer. Just pick the one which suits you the most.
How can I cancel my reservation?
How you can cancel a reservation varies depending on what stage the reservation is in.
Is your reservation request still waiting for landlord approval? Then you can simply cancel it directly from your My Housing web app!
However, suppose the owner has already approved your reservation request, and you are no longer interested in it. In that case, you can still cancel the reservation before you sign the lease agreement. Just consider that you should do this only in essential cases. Because when the landlord accepts your reservation, their property is stopped being advertised, and they can lose the chance to rent their property to someone else.
Do you have an approved reservation and also a valid agreement? In order to cancel your reservation, contact Flatio customer support well in advance of your contract beginning (the specific time and amount of refund depends on the type of cancelation policy).
