Step back two centuries from 21st-century Cape Town when you enter this classic example of a Cape Dutch town house, furnished with 18th- and early-19th-century antiques. It’s an atmospheric place, with ancient vines growing in the courtyard and floorboards that squeak just as they probably did during the time of Marie Koopmans-de Wet, the socialite owner after whom the house is named.
