Welcome to Belvedere Folly

The Folly has great charm. Built in 1905 to a Victorian colonial architectural design, with lofty, intricately patterned pressed tinplate ceilings and typical bay windows, the facade was reimagined in the 1920’s when a broad and welcoming verandah and first floor terrace replaced the usual narrow, ‘broekies lace’ (‘panty lace’) balcony allowing for glorious furnished spaces on the ground and upper floor.

The interior spaces are equally spacious and warm and welcoming living areas for guest use. The terrace and verandah are for communal use by all residents and provide welcome views across the historic Molteno Reservoire to the city below.

The front garden surrounds a small plunge pool with an elaborate gazebo. Sun-loungers and umbrellas are available for relaxing in the rays of our hot southern sun.
