ABOUT US
Whilst endlessly inspired by the creation of magical spaces, Synergy remains dedicated to the protection and preservation of the natural environment that we have guardianship over. We pride ourselves in striking that perfect balance between environmentally conscious hospitality and absolute luxury.
SYNERGY IS GOING GREEN!
We have just broken ground on our newest creation in an intimate mountainous setting close to the Small Karoo. We cannot wait to introduce you to our self-sustaining off-the-grid luxury lodges!!
CONSERVATION BUZZ
In participation with The Bee Effect and local farmers, Synergy is focused on securing food diversity for honey bees!
ACCOMMODATION OPTIONS
Built on privately owned land, Synergy lodges are known for being rare and authentic, whilst embodying an ethos of sensitivity. Whether in the mountains or village Synergy spaces have one thing in common … a sacred, nurturing energy that touches our guests in a deeply restorative way.
SYNERGY TREEHOUSE
With its modern, clean-lined sophistication, exquisite detail and absolute luxury, Synergy Treehouse still manages to pull off a chilled-out hippie-cum-surfer vibe. This magical sanctuary is tucked secretly into what feels like the last African frontier, against a backdrop of rugged coastline, untameable Atlantic Ocean and right on the edge of the majestic Cape Point Reserve. This enchanting haven is what every treehouse wants to be when it grows up!
SYNERGY CORNERHOUSE
The endearing village of McGregor has the old-world charm of a bygone era. A stroll down an oak tree lined street will find you in the centre of town, peppered with little bistros and quaint cafes. Synergy Cornerhouse is a space for getting away from the stresses of modern life. You will be transported to the nostalgia and magic of simpler times and fresh, country living.
SYNERGY ELDORADO
Going Live in 2017 ... Soon to be resting gently amidst the untouched mountain wilderness, this streamlined haven of stylish, minimalist design will allow for every creature comfort, but perhaps most special of all will be the way it dissolves the boundaries between the home and its unique setting at the edge of the Breede Valley.
“We had an incredible weekend. Synergy is state-of-the art with no expense spared – you feel like you have stepped onto a movie set. It was absolutely magnificent! We were a bit hesitant of the glass, spiral staircase at first, but quickly realised it could be trusted to carry us!Top of the range appliances and finishes, spectacular views, every comfort.
Unheard of these days, really, such a personal touch.
So all in all we absolutely loved our stay, loved being able to walk to a fabulous little restaurant / deli for breakfast. We would love to go back in summer and open up all the stacking doors to enjoy the inside / outside flow to its full potential.”
“What an awesome state of the art hidey hole for a winter escape!
The fireplaces worked overtime which allowed us to take in the amazing views sipping champagne from the lounge.
We are not going to tell our friends about Synergy as we would like to keep it to ourselves!”
“We recently stayed at the Synergy in Scarborough with our two boys and found this place to be an amazing tree house type retreat within an hour of Cape Town.
We are very warmly received by India and Craig, who were exceptionally helpful and we were quite surprised to find our fridge stocked up with all lovely goodies we did not expect.
They even came to start the fire for our BBQ and internal fire places for us.
Our young boys loved it to, especially the rock path from their elevated bedroom to their bathroom. The perspective from their bathroom shower and bedroom was spectacular. Looking through the trees towards the sea.
The architecture and structure of Synergy is so beautifully put together and the energy felt great in the house. The attention to detail was exceptional with the finished beyond all expectations.
We would definitely recommend it to anyone and will certainly return one day soon.”
“We spent a wonderful weekend in Scarborough at Synergy.
The accommodation is the height of luxury and beauty. The finishes are superb and no expense has been spared with the fabulous linen!! Surrounded by nature and with unbelievable views the house is tranquility and total peace at its best.
We will definitely go and stay there again.”

Take to the trees
Scarborough's charm lies in the fact that it's a short drive from the city; only 45-minute's drive from town and you're safely in the seaside conservation town.
Treehouse with a difference
Scarborough is often overlooked for some of the larger towns on the Cape peninsula – all the more reason for its appeal as an escape far from the maddening crowds – while still easily accessible at less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town.
