About Anker Huis

Anker Huis is a boutique residential facility in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa specializing in the treatment of substance use, co-occurring mental health conditions, and process addictions. Their revolutionary approach to treatment aims at healing the root cause of addiction with compassion, hospitality, and understanding. Instead of asking the common question, “Why are you addicted?" Anker Huis focuses on asking their clients, "Why are you in pain?" This question, though difficult, is crucial in understanding the root cause of addiction. Only then can addiction be understood and, ultimately, treated.

Expert, Comprehensive Care

While immersed in the program, clients will engage in 1-on-1 counseling using cognitive behavioral methods as well as group therapy, mindfulness training, trauma-specific therapy, and the Minnesota Model when needed. In addition to therapy, Anker Huis and its prime location offers some of the most unique activity outings for their clients. Weekly outings and activities can include the Cheetah Outreach program, Table Mountain Cable Car, sandboarding, stand up paddle boarding, Robben Island visits, and more.

Recover in Private Luxury

The Anker Huis location in Constantia is known for its natural beauty and nearby world renowned beaches. The magnificent surroundings and world-class accommodations are truly awe inspiring. The luxury estate grounds enable clients to fully embrace the recovery lifestyle in a relaxed, natural environment. Lush greenery and thoughtfully designed gardens adorn the estate along with a swimming pool, perfect for exercise or soaking in the sun. Mens and women's accommodations are located in separate buildings on the property, and clients will enjoy private or semi-private bedrooms. Georgian design is seen throughout the home with bespoke furniture and up-scale decor. The home comes equipped with spacious, comfortable lounge areas, perfect for relaxing in, and a billiards room for when clients wish to socialize. Gourmet meals are prepared by in-house chefs, and they can accommodate most all dietary restrictions one may have.

With an awe inspiring location combined with a compassionate, holistic approach, Anker Huis is truly a one-of-a-kind treatment program.

Testimonial

My experience at Anker House was great. After a long period of drugs and alcohol it was time to get my life back together. I came here distraught, an emotional wreck beyond repair. The staff has proven to be more than just a great help but also on all moral and emotional levels. I am glad to have finally had a group of people who wholeheartedly set my life back in motion. This is a life given back.

My experience, I started my treatment at Anker huis after an intervention from my family and friends. I was shocked en within 24 hours i arrived in South-Africa. The staff from Anker Huis collected met from the airport, they were very nice and kind. They were the first support that i met. Then i started treatment, it was intens but amazing don’t regret it att all! The counselors and other staff are all specialist and provided the best care i could wish of. I am clean now and happy again. They helped me out of my depression and got rid off all drugs. The house itself is beautifull its cosy and doesnt feel like a clinic. The food was delicious. But most off all everything that they do, is always for you. To give the best treatment they can!I want to thank them all! M.

I struggled with addiction for many years and have experienced a number of primary treatment facilities over the years but Ankerhuis provided me the ideal start to my recovery journey whilst enjoying luxury accommodation and finding a sense of tranquility on the grounds of the stately home environment Ankerhuis delivers. I was privileged to receive world class treatment throughout my journey and I felt at peace to find myself again. The professional staff and Counselling team were so beneficial to my process and would recommend Ankerhuis to anyone struggling with addiction and wanting a new way of life.
