Commercial space in Woodstock

7 2 106 m²

The Altona Hotel is an iconic building in Woodstock, one of Cape Town''s earliest suburbs. Originally constructed in the 19th century, the building was repurposed in 1901 as a hotel and has stood the test of time with grace.

By 2014, the property had fallen into disrepair and was in desperate need of care. The new owners, recognizing its potential, meticulously restored the building to its former grandeur.

This refurbishment preserved key historical features like the molded ceilings, fireplaces, and yellow wood floors, while adding modern touches such as imported Italian tiles in the gallery spaces.

Located at 196 and 194 Victoria Road, this fascinating property blends historical elegance with modern versatility, offering an outstanding opportunity for the savvy investor. The exterior proudly showcases its historical faade, enhanced with contemporary elements for added curb appeal.

Zoning Flexibility

The property is zoned for general business (GB5) and residential use (GR4), maximizing its investment potential. As a heritage building, it holds significant historical value.
