Roodenburg House 1882 Rondebosch
This beautiful historic house was built in 1882 and is situated in the leafy suburb of Rondebosch in the shadow of Table Mountain and Devil’s Peak. The house was built according to the Arts and Crafts style of architecture finding favour in Victorian England and its colonies. For 25 years leading pathologist, Dr Judy Whittaker, conducted her practice at Roodenburg House.
During 2009, Judy and a team of close confidants began planning the renovation of the old lady, and Roodenburg Guest House was born and ready to receive guests in June 2010. This Guest House has become very popular with corporate and overseas families, as well as hosting conferences for national and foreign companies.
