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.

This spectacular French home in the desirable travel spot Franschhoek is beautiful to look at, inside and out. The French-inspired large kitchen, living area and jasmine-covered verandas are ideal spots for socialising and gathering over home-cooked meals – or a Braai, if you fancy firing up the barbecue. Outside, you'll find manicured lawns with sculptures, a large swimming pool and a tennis court – all surrounded by breathtaking mountain views. To top it off, it's also walking distance to the town of Franschhoek, where you'll find an array of French restaurants and wineries.

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.

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.

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

Cot / Crib

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.

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

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. 

The Hazy Melody

Access to Beach

Overlooking one of South Africa’s most loved beaches, this home makes the perfect setting for a breezy coastal getaway. Wake up to beautiful views and savour the feeling of the fresh Southern Atlantic air from the deck. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining and your host is on hand to help organise extras like a private chef and catering. All three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms as well as access to the outside. Plus, you’ll be in the ideal spot for massage treatments, yoga sessions, surf lessons as well as hiking along this beautiful stretch of Cape Town. 


Waterfront Breeze

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

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

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.

Mountainside, with breathtaking vistas over Lions Head and the silhouette of Table Mountain, this luxury villa in Camps Bay is pure magic. Look the other way and you'll be bedazzled even further by the sparkling seascape that stretches out across the bay – visible from almost every angle of the home. 

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

Experience a taste of true luxury with a stay at this stunning villa, nestled rather picturesquely in the heart of Bantry Bay. The outside boasts a heated swimming pool, huge terrace and an abundance of space to relax in the sun and take in the breathtaking views of the bay. The inside is a sleek and elegant affair, with unique art pieces, plush furnishings and light-filled rooms, designed to ensure that everyone who visits has an unforgettable time here. 

Arrive to be dazzled by the bright open-plan living area, with a huge sofa inviting you to kick back and unwind, with those ocean vistas outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows. Listen to your favourite tunes, courtesy of the sound system, or snuggle up for an evening of Netflix and wine. You’ll be able to rustle up delicious family feasts in the modern and well-equipped kitchen and share them with your loved ones at one of the indoor tables or outside on the terrace, where you’ll also find a barbecue oven and two fire pits. What could be more magical than enjoying cool drinks in the company of your friends and family under the starry sky, warmed by a gentle woodfire? 

For a night of restful sleep, head over to the exquisite bedrooms, each offering a plush bed, a lovely ambience and a sleek en-suite bathroom. Wake up feeling restored and ready for another day of glorious sunshine.
 
Outside your oasis, you’ll find yourself surrounded by exciting activities and stunning locations, with the beach just a short drive away. For an unforgettable sunrise hike, the iconic Table Mountain is located just fifteen minutes away by car. 

Home Is Where the Art Is 

Paid Parking On Street

Overlooking the iconic Table Mountain, this apartment is perched above the trendy De Waterkant neighbourhood – dotted with craft coffee shops and dance clubs, this place welcomes everyone. Stroll down to the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village and shop to your heart's content among the luxury boutiques, then stop for a meal in an international restaurant. What's more, art lovers will be glad to know that contemporary exhibitions lie just around the corner at the Goodman Gallery.

Tastefully decorated, this eclectic space echoes its vibrant surroundings. Gather together at the dining table to chat about your adventures in Cape Town, all while nibbling on vetkoek and sipping Nespresso coffee. There are even extra services available, so you can pamper yourself by hiring a private chef or booking a massage to make your holiday memorable. We especially love how the large windows let the natural light pour inside, giving you a great view of sunsets over the modern cityscape.

Liquorice Candy

With delightful views directly over the flat-topped Table Mountain, this bold apartment is perfectly placed in the De Waterkant district – a chic and inclusive enclave of the city. Just around the corner from here, perhaps you'll spend an afternoon perusing contemporary art in the Goodman Gallery. Alternatively, a sophisticated shopping spree may lead you to the nearby Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village.

We're sure that those with an eye for detail will appreciate the zesty safari-inspired styling of this home – so, even when you retreat from the streets below to sip mampoer on this cosy couch, there's no forgetting where you're staying. What's more, these floor-to-ceiling windows promise to light up your morning plans at the wooden dining table, as well as those special evenings spent watching sunsets. For something extra special, why not treat your loved ones to a dinner of potjiekos prepared by a professional chef? Or, how about a soothing massage after a lively day of sightseeing?

Vivid Earth

If your idea of a great holiday involves stunning ocean views, you’ll be hitting it out of the park with this beautiful home. Set in the heart of Mouille Point and overlooking the Atlantic, you can spend mornings curled up on the sofa, breaking between chapters to check in on the ocean just outside. 

Spend breakfasts at the striking dining table, the concertina doors gaping open to allow the sea-salt breeze in as you drink coffee, pass the scrambled eggs around, and chatter about the day’s plans. 

Those plans might involve a shopping trip at V&A Waterfront or perhaps a day at Mouille Point beach doing little more than listening to the waves lapping. For something a little more cultural, you can stop off at the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, only minutes away. Considering that the Bo-Kaap is famous for its brightly coloured houses, it’s worth seeing anyway – even just for a fabulous holiday photo.

Back home, soak up the calm atmosphere created by the natural elements, neutral colour palette, bohemian flair and many verdant green houseplants. And if the space isn’t enough to unwind, you can always enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset.

Portal to Mouille Point

Located in Bakoven, where you can overlook the ocean from the balcony, this elegant home shouldn’t just be applauded for its views – however breathtaking – but also for its proximity to the beach. With Beta Beach a stone’s throw away and the famous Camp’s Bay strip not much further, you can spend sunshine days laying back on the sand as you listen to the waves lapping the shore. 

Get in touch with nature by hiking one of the many trails in the surrounding area or visiting the penguin colony at Boulders Beach. When you’re not eating fresh seafood at one of the local restaurants, take to the sleek kitchen – the family gathered around the kitchen island to nibble as you go – and prepare a simple meal with the fresh produce available. 

Spend your time admiring the natural landscape from the balcony – whether that happens to be in the plunge pool or whilst nursing a cup of coffee first thing in the morning. With most of the rooms connecting to a balcony, you can even slip out after everyone else has gone to bed and appreciate the night sky as you listen to the waves crash on the rocks on the other side of the road. 

On the Boulder’s Back

Smell the ocean and listen to the sounds of the waves lapping the shore when you stay at this stylish home – it’s literally right on the water’s edge at Mouille Point Beach. We think it’s a really special spot – the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are truly mesmerising. We could sit on the chairs looking out at the stunning vistas all day. 

Plenty of art prints and plants give this place a homely feel. Get your book and head to the reading nook, where you can enjoy the salty breeze in comfort. And who wouldn’t want to wake up to those ocean vistas from the bedroom every morning? Grab a cup of coffee and some breakfast in the modern kitchen and simply enjoy.

If you can drag yourself away from this apartment, go for a stroll and do some beach combing or head to the stunning Camps Bay Beach, twenty minutes away.
