This peaceful apartment lies in the midst of Franschhoek, just a ten-minute walk from the village centre. The balcony offers some lovely sunset views and space for alfresco dining. Both bedrooms have en-suites and the twin beds in the second bedroom can be converted into a king bed on request, making it great for couples or friend groups. Children under the age of 12 aren't permitted, but we think families with older children will feel right at home here. You can rent a bike to explore the beautiful area, but we recommend hiring a car for trips down to Cape Town's coast.

Situated on a luxury estate in the heart of the Cape Winelands, this house boasts mountain views from the outdoor space. But it isn't just scenic. The swimming pool also promises hours of fun for the whole family, with ample seating for adults to relax. Though it's hard to compare to the beauty of the natural landscape, the interior is chic with a touch of luxury to make your stay most comfortable. Surrounded by wineries, there's plenty of potential for wine tours, with the popular Franschhoek only a short drive away.

Rooftop Terrace

Situated in Plettenberg Bay adjacent to Goose Valley Golf Club and overlooking Keurbooms Lagoon, this remarkable home brings a taste of modern luxury to a truly idyllic location.

Given the glorious climate, this is an address in which alfresco living is prioritised. A swimming pool takes pride of place in the middle of the outdoor space and is sure to see plenty of dips during the summer months. Add to that a luscious garden full of old milkwood trees, a rooftop bar and a bar that sits behind a large glass wall, and it's easy to pass countless hours out in the open air.

That being said, there's plenty going on behind the stone walls, too. The interior is full of curios, from the varied collection of furniture sourced from across the globe to the antique chandelier hanging over the grand dining table. When it comes to amenities, there's a games room in the main house, plus a steam room and gym in the separate cottage.

Although you may well be thinking that there's more than enough to keep you occupied at the home, there's also plenty to see in the local area, too. Keurbooms Beach is just over five minutes away by car, as is Goose Valley Golf Club. A little further afield, there's a great range of nature and game reserves to explore.

Whether you’re in Johannesburg for business or leisure, this apartment’s location in the buzzing suburb of Roseburn has you covered. In the area, you’ve got easy access to the business hub of Sandton in one direction, and museums, zoos and galleries in Saxonwold in the other. 

It’s a studio apartment, decked out in modern chic design. We love the soft gold accents in the modern artwork and plush velvet dining chairs. A big window by the bed lets the South African sunshine stream in. Then there’s the shared outdoor space where an astroturf terrace makes way for a plunge pool fed by waterfalls.

Single-Level Home

This brand spanking new suburban Johannesburg home boasts interconnecting studio and one-bedroom apartments which combine to create spaces perfect for small groups or a couple of couples. While the main apartment features a large open plan kitchen cum dining and sitting room complete with lounge worthy L-shaped sofa and glass doors which open out onto a balcony, the second bedroom enjoys the use of an additional kitchenette. You’ll love treating your loved one to breakfast in bed, and sipping on your morning coffee and watching the world go by from your beautiful balcony. 

Alternatively, why not start the day with a cardio session in the residents only gym before opting for a refreshing dip in the communal outdoor pool? At the day’s end host a cook off in the kitchen, and gather for a feast around the dining table before indulging in a long hot soak in the tub and some well-deserved Netflix and chill time on the sofa.  In cases of business trumping pleasure, you’ll easily be able to work from home or if you find you’re in need of some caffeine and company, head over to the residents only coffee shop, a stone’s throw from your apartment. 

What’s more, Hyde Park’s affluent status and proximity to Sandton and Rosebank via Gautrain and trendy Parkhurst 4th Avenue, means you’ll be spoilt for choice deciding how to spend your downtime. Delight in sampling one of several steak houses, or cool cocktail bars or spoiling yourself with some retail therapy at Hyde Park Corner, South Africa’s first enclosed mall renowned for its bespoke and high-end retail stores.

Experience Cape Town to its fullest with a stay at this modern villa, perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The sea views aren’t the only thing that caught our attention here – there’s a private pool, an alfresco dining area, and the open design of the interior makes it a great space for entertaining. The bedrooms are super comfortable and offer sea views to wake up to each morning – bliss. Location-wise, you’re moments from Robyn’s Beach, while the famous Camps Bay lies just a short walk away. And while dining at home feels special in itself, there are plenty of waterfront restaurants and bars on your doorstep.

Bali Bay Bliss

Situated just fifty metres from the secluded Bakoven Beach, this penthouse apartment is excellent for a stay that's luxuriously simple. The spacious balcony boasts a private pool and sun loungers with stunning sea views. Sliding doors open up the home and blur the lines between the indoors and out, so you can bask in the sunshine from the kitchen and living area. The Camps Bay beachfront is within walking distance with its lively restaurants and bars, and you'll have space to park in a designated garage if you want to bring a car for further exploration.

Beach Haven

Beautifully positioned, this sleek pad boasts ocean views and direct beach access. Located in Mouille Point, you'll be within easy walking distance of the V&A Waterfront, with an array of bars and restaurants nearby. Plus, it's only a twenty-minute drive from Table Mountain – also visible from the apartment. The interiors are modern and stylish, with a desk for those who need to work remotely and a window-side dining table for homemade meals. The highlight for us? The home's private balcony is a real standout, with comfy seating and a dining set, it's the perfect place to unwind after an exciting day in Cape Town.

With captivating views of Signal Hill, this apartment makes a fantastic retreat in the heart of Cape Town. You'll be based in quiet Tamboerskloof, within easy reach of cafes and restaurants and less than a ten-minute drive from the stunning beaches in Camps Bay. We love the bright living area, with its large windows overlooking the tree-studded greenery on your doorstep. It's kitted out with everything you'll need, from Bluetooth speakers and a laptop-friendly workspace to parking for one car. Convenient, central, and cosy – it certainly ticks all our boxes.

This exquisite glass house has a wrap-around private terrace leading to a shared 25-metre lap pool set amid lavender, olive, and pine trees. We love the open-plan living space with its floor-to-ceiling windows offering views over the garden and the mountains beyond. The studio-style bedroom opens out onto the terrace and the glass-roofed bathroom lets light flood in. The location here is great too – it’s just a short walk from the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Cape Town is a short drive away and some of the area’s stunning beaches can be reached by car in just over twenty minutes.

The Lavender Cottage

Heated Pool

Just seconds from the western-facing Clifton 4th Beach, this quirky and fun bungalow was built for sunset lovers. You can enjoy sea views in privacy from the garden, while the sheltered terrace is perfect for family barbecue parties. Inside, the home's eclectic design will be a hit with the kids – they can even watch the swimmers in the pool go by as they play in the downstairs media room. And with its record player and LP collection full of familiar favourites, adults will love it down there too. With an upstairs balcony and two freestanding baths, you've also got plenty of places to enjoy the complimentary wine you'll find on arrival.

We absolutely love the views over the ocean from this home's communal pool deck. There's a gym for your daily workout and a sky bar, restaurant, lounge, entertainment hub, barbecue area and boutique here, too. The shared facilities are excellent, we have to say. There are more city views and sea glimpses to enjoy from this apartment's private wraparound balcony. Another feature we love is that both bedrooms open onto the terrace and have en-suites. We haven't mentioned the location yet. Well, you'll be near the popular Sea Point Promenade, while the V&A Waterfront is a five to ten-minute drive away.

Trendy Seaside Retreat

Located in a prime spot in the very heart of Sea Point, just a sunny stroll away from Queen's Beach and Sea Point Pavilion, this apartment is all set to provide a smart and stylish base for happy holidays exploring Cape Town. Filled with natural light thanks to its floor-to-ceiling windows, this home exudes executive elegance, with plush soft furnishings and contemporary design touches. The outdoor space may be a little on the small side, but we still think it makes a lovely place to sit and enjoy your morning coffee on a summer morning. There's also a shared swimming pool on the complex.

The Dream Weaver

You'll have your pick of outdoor seating at this Cape Town villa, and rest easy knowing you'll have spectacular views of the iconic Table Mountain from wherever you choose to sit. Hanging chairs, sun loungers and an alfresco dining table appear alongside a private infinity pool and lush garden. Though everything will pale in comparison to the vistas outside, the interior puts up a good fight with African-inspired decor, luxurious touches and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in ample light - the steam room in the main bathroom is another nice touch. Hout Bay is full of quirky shops and cafes, and Llandudno Beach is only a short drive away.

Nestled in the spellbinding suburb of Bishopscourt, this villa makes an impressive first impression by blending elegance and eclectic African pieces by local artists. The patio – complete with a swimming pool and ample outdoor seating – overlooks some of the mountains that make the mother city special, and those vistas stay mostly within view thanks to the architecture and large windows. With a private tennis court, gym, games room, and cinema, there’s plenty to occupy. The beach is a short drive away, and so is the golf course, but it’s Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden that's a must for any bucket list.

The Golden Gleame

Desk / Workplace

Nestled in the centre of the city of Cape Town, adjacent to the stunning St George's Cathedral, this home offers all the luxury and convenience of city living with breathtaking views to boot, with guests always welcomed to the home by a stunning bouquet of complementary flowers. This two-bedroom abode offers modern, comfortable, sleek furniture and finishings, looking out across the city and towards the majesty of Table Mountain, as well as beautifully-contemporary artworks by established South African artists including Zanele Muholi, Igshaan Adams and Mohau Modisakeng.

When not relaxing at home, Cape Town is the perfect place for adventure. With restaurants, markets and bars all within a five-minute walk, guests are spoilt for culinary choice. A leisurely meander around the Castle of Good Hope is always recommended, and what visit to this beautiful city would be complete without a hike around Table Mountain National Park or Skeleton Gorge. With more adventures than one person could ask for, we are sure that this home will be the setting of a truly unforgettable trip.

Adamastor's Rest

This amazing villa provides stunning, panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you are soaking up the sunshine as you lounge on a sunbed or cooling off in the waters of your private infinity pool, the vista really is amazing.

If adventures and excursions are what you’re looking for, you can charter a private yacht to visit the historic Robben’s Island or even go snorkelling and get up close and personal with the playful and curious Cape fur seals for an ultimate wildlife experience. 

Visit Table Mountain National Park – just a nine-minute drive away and go abseiling from the top of Table Mountain or enjoy the thrill of jet skiing across the waters in front of Table Mountain. 

You can even go on a 4x4 wine safari of Table Mountain where you will stop at the Blockhouse for stunning views over Cape Town accompanied by bubbles and snacks. Then the second part of the journey will take you around to Camps Bay with uninterrupted views of the Twelve Apostles while you enjoy a picnic lunch of cheeses, charcuterie, and a selection of perfectly-paired local South African wines. 

Why not explore the rest of Cape Town in a vintage car? Visit Saunders’ Rock Beach with its imposing granite rocks which shelter it from the wind – just a four-minute drive away. Or, spend the day on the sandy beach of Clifton 1st – just a five-minute drive away. 

In the evening, we would love to let a private chef take care of dinner as we unwind in the soothing bubbles of the hot tub before indulging in cocktails at the home’s very own bar. Then dine alfresco before playing a game of pool or watching a blockbuster movie in the dedicated cinema room.

Outside, the extensive patio terraces present a platform from which to take in the views at every opportunity. There's no better place to be than here during the sunrise and sunset each morning and evening. With plenty of seating areas to choose from, you can be relaxing by the pool with a refreshing glass of South African wine in hand or perched with a book at one of the lounge seating areas. Enjoy home-cooked meals from the private chef at the majestic dining area. When it comes to eating, you'll have the choice of both an indoor and an outdoor set-up. Picture it now, fresh fish, quality wine and those never-ending ocean blue views to finish off the serene setting. 

Inside, minimal designs create a soothing and calm space that makes relaxing oh so easy. Grab a drink from the minibar and embrace the luxury lifestyle promoted by this home. 

Located in the glamourous Camps Bay neighbourhood, you'll be perfectly based to explore the best of Cape Town. Within walking distance from the beach and a wealth of dining delights, from here, lapping up the full Cape Town experience couldn't be easier. As you'll be just a ten-minute drive away from the natural wonders of Table Mountain and a twenty-minute drive away from the shops and museums of the Victoria and Albert Waterfront. 


Mountain's Silhouette

Parking On Street

This lavish home in the upmarket neighbourhood of De Waterkant is breathtaking. Soft hues of rose and peach envelop the apartment, sweeping a sepia, dreamlike feel across this outstandingly decorated home. It's luxurious and modern, but the soft tones that run throughout the home keep it warm and comforting. But the standout features are the old stone brick walls and wood beamed ceilings, tying in a natural element to this super contemporary home. 

This home is the epitome of indoor/outdoor living, with large patio doors bringing you into the courtyard, which lies between the bedrooms and the living and kitchen area. We love how the wooden beams continue in the courtyard, which is so beautifully decorated that it barely feels like an outdoor area. Evenings spent here are particularly wonderful, enjoying candlelit meals and drinks around the outdoor dining table, before heading up to your rooftop to sip on wine and watch the city skyline sparkle against the dark. Of course, the rooftop is beautiful during the day too, with a small pool that's perfect for cooling off from the South African sun, but there's something about a skyline at night that feels extra special. 

Not only is this home incredibly stunning, but it's also in a great location. You're in the heart of De Waterkant, a vibrant neighbourhood teeming with coffee shops, art galleries, boutiques, bars, eateries, and more. It's the perfect blend between upmarket and trendy. Plus, you're within easy reach of Cape Town's beaches and the majestic Table Mountain.

Bamboo Sugar

This home is stunningly aesthetic, and with such a spectacular view of Table Bay's private yacht marina, it would be a pity to pass it up. Slide the balcony door open and relax in the egg chair with a drink of your choice, admiring the beautiful turquoise water that glistens in the sun, and when noon arrives, light up the barbecue to enjoy some tasty grilled food. Inside, you'll discover a calming living area with pale blue accents to brighten it up and artwork to give character. The soft tones make the bedrooms feel luxurious, and the master bedroom goes out onto the balcony.

When you wish to escape the hot weather, head down to the communal area for a cool plunge in the pool before spending the day lounging about – as you should on holiday. Take a short walk to the world-renowned V&A Waterfront and The Metropolitan Golf Course to devote the morning on the course, perhaps putting a couple of hole in ones if you're lucky. In the afternoon, visit The Old Biscuit Mill, a heartfelt collaboration between chefs, designers, photographers, and other artists from the area – formerly a biscuit factory that now hosts a Saturday market with over 100 speciality dealers for you to experience.


Turquoise Wonders

Step into this home and you’ll find a quiet sanctuary standing proudly above the hustle and bustle of the Mother City below.

Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the South African sun casts a gold sparkle across the calming neutral decor. A rooftop pool and views of Cape Town’s finest urban landscape are only some of the small touches of luxury this home has to offer. It’s more than tempting to have a morning coffee in your four-poster bed, but when you’re staying in the popular De Waterkant area of the city, you're truly spoilt for choice with boutique cafes and fine dining restaurants, so you’ll find yourself hopping out of bed, eager to explore. 

The open-plan living and kitchen space provides the atmosphere for a relaxed social setting, perfect for guests staying in this serene home. Wicker, terracotta clay, wood and stone are some of the many textures that bring nature indoors. The freestanding in-bedroom bathtub provides the bubbly escape needed to relax and remind yourself of the day’s adventures. With a chilled glass of vino in hand, you won't want to get out… other than to refill! 

Whilst this stunning apartment may help recharge your batteries, the local area will keep you busy. Ideal for couples or a small group of friends, this home is a luxury base for exploring what this beautiful part of the world has to offer. Plus, with an array of vineyards in the surrounding area, you will likely need somewhere to share your pinot purchase! 

Shades Of Almond 

Tucked away in Cape Town’s leafy De Waterkant district, this stunning apartment is a haven of tranquillity in the heart of the Capital. From the neutral tones to the luxury furnishings, there’s nothing not to love about the interior here, which comes complete with all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end hotel alternative. Gather around the dining table for a relaxing evening meal, take a minute for yourself in the quiet enclosed courtyard, or head upstairs for a late-night dip in the private rooftop plunge pool. 

Just a short walk from Cape Town City Centre, this gorgeous home is perfectly placed for exploring all that South Africa’s largest city has to offer. Soak up some culture at one of Cape Town’s iconic museums or make your way to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for a delicious waterside meal. However you spend your days here, we highly recommend heading home before dusk so you can watch the sun go down from your private rooftop terrace. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to spend the evening.
