Springbok legend Bryan Habana's Cape Town residence offers a rare glimpse into the life of one of rugby's most decorated players, with luxury finishes and distinctive design choices spread across a sprawling double-storey property.

The mansion gained public attention in 2014 when Top Billing visited the home, which Habana has kept largely out of the spotlight for security reasons. Its precise location has not been disclosed publicly.

The residence features a sun room, a cigar lounge, spacious dining and seating areas, a playing area, a pool, and a dedicated home office.

Each room carries its own distinct theme, though a common thread runs through the entire home — artefacts and portraits that reflect Habana's personal taste and career history.

Habana's Life After Rugby

Habana officially retired from professional rugby in 2018 after a 13-year career that included multiple Rugby World Cup victories and a place among the sport's all-time greats. Since then, he has built a business presence in his own right.

He co-founded Paymenow, a financial wellness platform, and is associated with Retroactive agency. He also holds a role within the MatchKit corporate structure. Despite stepping away from the field, Habana has maintained ties to rugby through a partnership with DHL and ongoing involvement with broadcasters.
