Surrounded by The Twelve Apostles mountain range and the Atlantic Ocean, this colonial home in Camps Bay's best feature might be the large sash windows that create the illusion of being right in the water. Take advantage of that by watching the tide change from the striped wing chairs, or grab a book from the small library and sink into the brown leather sofa – with the windows open, of course, you want to hear the lapping waves beyond. 

Get the coffee dripping first thing in the morning and once breakfast has been prepared, you can take it all out on the sun terrace where to eat alfresco. Breathe in the fresh, sea salt air from your position on the sunlouger, take a dip in the clear, solar-heated swimming pool, and when lunch inevitably comes around, be sure to try South Africa’s favourite pastime, the braai. If you’re not up for barbecuing, you can of course sample the eateries of the area. There are a couple of restaurants and cafes around a five-minute walk away. 

Spend sundrenched days at the beach – there are plenty of options to explore along the coast, including the famous Clifton Beach. Swim in the Camps Bay Tidal Pool, only a short walk away, or pick any one of the tens of hiking trails around – Lion’s Head is an especially popular choice and the starting point is only seven minutes away by car. 

After a long, tiring day, soak in a bubble bath with a glass of wine in hand. Afterward, why not sit out under the stars with koeksisters or peppermint crisp tart and end the day on a sweet note?

You couldn’t ask for a better location here, with three beaches in close proximity, including the city’s namesake beach famous for its fine white sand and natural rock swimming pool. No need to worry about transport either – a train station and two bus stops can be found within a few miles of the house.

Boasting spellbinding vistas across Bakoven’s soft-bouldered beach, this coastal villa promises a relaxing and memorable retreat with undulating sea views. Located in the energetic Camps Bay but tucked in a quiet neighbouring cove, you can savour the tranquillity this beachside location offers.

The impressive indoor-outdoor living area provides the ideal spot to begin your days with a morning espresso overlooking the sea and an idyllic place for leisurely lunches with your loved ones. The soft, salty breeze will help you keep cool whilst the refreshing waters of your infinity pool offer a revitalising repose from the sun. 

While you could easily spend all day outside, step through the glass doors to be met with a tranquil blend of coastal and contemporary design. The living space is a focal point of this home – it’s minimally modern, comfortably homey, and seamlessly elegant.

A dreamy sanctuary awaits you here, at this modern villa nestled between the Cape Fold Mountrain range and the Atlantic Sea. The spellbinding view, salty-sea scent and refreshing coastal breeze create a scintillating sensory treat – we can’t think of a better way to spend a trip on the Cape Peninsula.  

The indoor and outdoor spaces are equally impressive here, so you’ll be able to make the most of every moment. 
The interior boasts contemporary charm – think crisp white walls, sleek leather furnishings and expansive glass windows that frame the ocean panoramas. Enjoy the breathtaking vistas from every room – whether you’re waking up peacefully to the sunrise, indulging in a restorative bath as the tide rolls out, sharing an indulgent dinner in the elegant dining space at the golden hour, or cosying up on the plump sofa for a games night, as the moon illuminates the waves – your surrounding landscape will be ever-present.

Outside, spend days sprawled out poolside with a good book, and when the South African sun gets too hot, cool off in the pristine pool and listen out for the faint sound of the lapping waters below. In the evenings, fire up the barbecue and dine alfresco over the golden sunset bay, sipping a local glass of Sauvignon Blanc.

Follow the views outside and you’ll find this home provides an idyllic base for exploration. Seek out the pristine sands of Bakoven beach or visit the iconic Camps Bay beach, both can be reached within five minutes by car. Consider putting on your walking shoes and heading up the Kasteelspoort trail – trust us, the views across the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic are worth the hike.

Sunset Sands

Rain Shower

A palm-fringed paradise right on Cape Town's coast, this apartment is an absolute dream come true, as far as we're concerned. Floor-to-ceiling windows in nearly every room give you ample opportunity to marvel at the incredible view. Whether you're watching TV on the sumptuous L-shaped sofa, preparing dinner in the glossy kitchen or waking up in the luxurious bedrooms, swaying palm trees and rolling waves will be your backdrop.

Dusk or dawn, the best spot to relish in the scenery is on the panoramic deck. Pull up a chair and pour yourself a cocktail, take a dip in the showstopping plunge pool or gather around the outdoor table for an alfresco feast in the seaside air – every second here will feel like a wonderland. It's so heavenly, in fact, we bet you'll find it hard to tear yourself away – but if you do, there's plenty nearby to tempt you.

It's just a short walk down to Camps Bay beach, so spend the afternoon lounging in the sand and swimming in the Atlantic. The waterfront promenade is lined with shops, restaurants and lively bars – ideal for anything from a quick bite to eat to a night on the town. Fancy some hiking? Head to Table Mountain National Park, where trails for every level of hiker lead through the mountains.

Tropical Arcadia

Parking On Premises

Secured Parking

Just a short walk from sandy Camps Beach, and with Table Mountain, the city centre and several other beaches within an easy drive, this smart home near Happy Valley is perfect for a small family or some friends sharing. With all the comforts of home, private parking and the added bonus of a small private pool, it's the ideal base for a Cape Town adventure.

Inside, neutral decor and floor-to-ceiling windows create a bright, cheerful feeling from the moment you enter the door, and we love the sliding patio doors opening the living space up the sunny deck. With a covered dining table and a barbecue, it's the dream spot for evening meals as the sun sets. Follow the steps down to a lower level for comfy sun loungers and down again to your own pool.  

Pursuing Happiness 

Some views really have to be seen to be believed and that's the case with the gorgeous ocean panorama enjoyed from this modern home in Camps Bay. As you would hope, there's lots of outdoor space in which you can just sit and gawp, as well as a few extra-special sea-facing amenities, too – who could resist a dip in the hot tub or swimming pool with that backdrop? There are several vantage points inside, as well as a few more features to make your stay that bit more memorable, including a games room and gym. To top it all off, Camps Bay Beach is only a short drive away, too.

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

We don't know what we loved more – the idyllic infinity pool or the view across the stunning beauty of Camps Bay. Luckily, you can combine the two for one of the most magical experiences in South Africa. 

The breathtaking view, crisp scent and refreshing sea breeze create a wonderful sensory treat. Waking up to the sound of the waves lapping onto the shore and the salty air greeting the nose is the perfect way to begin your day. 

When you want a break from the water, you can laze on the beds by the pool, kissed by the gentle rays of the sun. Have a cocktail or glass of orange juice by your side for true luxury. 

The outdoor space undoubtedly steals the limelight, but the interior boasts contemporary chic charm. Authentically African touches – such as the unique artefacts, colourful art and Kudu leather couch - complement the neutral tones and soft colour palette. 

Come the excitement of the evening, the restaurants and bars along the coast are pretty night-time joints, but it's also tempting to settle into the comfort of the apartment. Let the sounds of the ocean lure you into a peaceful slumber as you doze off on the deluxe beds. 


Infinite Number of Bays

Private Parking

Nestled rather beautifully between the majestic Table Mountain and the glistening sea, this bohemian-style home is an idyllic base for a family or a group of friends looking for a memorable and relaxing stay in Cape Town. 

Arrive to be greeted by this home’s cheerful exterior, set against a stunning backdrop of the cloud-covered mountains and boasting partial sea views. The inside will greet you with a bright and cosy living room, with plenty of comfy spaces to lounge about and relax after a long beach day. We love the laid-back vibe of this pad, with its lovely wooden floors and warm ambience. Enjoy movie nights with your loved ones, settling comfortably on the plush sofas in front of the fireplace. You can slide open the glass door and step directly onto the vast terrace and pool area, where you’ll also find a dining table with enough sitting for eight - should you opt for an indoor feast, there's an elegant table here too. On those balmy summer nights gather everyone outside for delicious dinners and barbecues under the stars. On hot afternoons, you can easily spend hours reading and relaxing on the comfy sun loungers by the pool. 

For a night of restful sleep, you’ll have a choice of three equally plush bedrooms, although our personal favourite has to be the master with a sleek ensuite bathroom. Treat yourself to an indulgent bubble bath, before drifting off to the land of sweet dreams in the luxurious king-sized bed. 

In the morning you’ll wake up refreshed and ready for another day of exploring. Head out to find yourself in a lovely neighbourhood, close to the picturesque beaches and with easy access to the centre of Cape Town. Why not start with brunch at your local Bootlegger Coffee Company, located just around the corner from your home. 

The Beachcombers 

Located on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles, you’ll have your pick of outside spaces and a private swimming pool to make the most of the villa’s Camps Bay views. Spanning three stories, it won’t be suitable for those with limited mobility, and the sliding door ensuite bathrooms may not be to everyone’s taste. That said, it’s bright with plenty of charm and the two sun-kissed balconies and private garden are perfect for socialising – the outside dining area also makes a great spot for family barbecues. Location-wise, there are many trendy shops and restaurants around the suburb of Camps Bay, while beach lovers can find Bakoven Beach just under 5 kilometres away.

Beside The Bay

In the hills of Cape Town’s Camps Bay neighbourhood, this luxurious villa puts you between the hiking trails of Table Mountain and the surfer’s paradise of Camps Bay Beach. The Kasteelspoort Trail up to Table Mountain starts a twenty-minute walk away, and a four-minute drive sees you at Camps Bay Beach, lined with surf shacks, fashion boutiques, brunch spots and cocktail bars alike. 

At the home itself, you’ve got an inviting swimming pool waiting on the terrace. From here you can float in the cool water while admiring a view of the Atlantic Ocean stretching out before you.  Myriad terraces and glass-fronted balconies provide secluded spots for a sundowner on plush sofas or dining at a picnic-style table. 

Inside, it’s a sleek medley of grey, black and white with huge corner sofas big enough to fit the whole group for a chilled night in. Casual dining is on offer at the shining white kitchen island and there’s a banquet-sized table for a more formal set-up. Bedrooms are super plush and some have free-standing tubs in ensuites or perhaps direct access to a private balcony overlooking the ocean.

Home Cinema Setup

A stunning view is best enjoyed from a stunning terrace, and the one belonging to this ocean-view home doesn't disappoint. With glass balustrades so nothing gets in the way of your vista, it's the showstopper at this place near Robyn's Beach but it's far from the only thing we love about it. There's a superb private pool too, and a state-of-the-art home cinema system so you can screen some of your favourites in comfort.

Inside, this stylish home is all about bright whites and contemporary furnishings – think glossy kitchen units, a striking modern dining table and a big leather sofa. The open layout in the living space makes it perfect for socialising and a wall of sliding patio doors opens it up to the magnificent terrace, where you'll find a barbecue, an outdoor dining table and comfy seating – not to mention sea views you may find it hard to drag yourself away from.

From here it's just a short walk or drive to the rocky coast, Beta Beach or Camps Bay Tidal Pool, or head just a little further to the superb, sandy Camps Bay Beach. Table Mountain and the city centre are within easy reach by car too.

Dance with the Ocean

Tucked between the Table Mountain range and the Atlantic Sea, a dreamy sanctuary awaits. Located in the energetic Camps Bay, you can savour the vibrancy this beachside location offers at every moment.

This luxe villa provides incredible vistas over the Cape coastline – the balconies off of the bedrooms are the perfect spot for morning coffee, whilst the patio is idyllic for a barbecue lunch. Later, take a sunset dip in the pristine pool overlooking the Twelve Apostles – we think this might be the best place to spend the golden hour. Inside, take a seat on the plush sofas and spend some quality time chatting with your family or friends about the week’s itinerary. The kitchen here is one you’ll want to make the most of – slick and dynamic, the culinary inclined will love cooking up a feast here.

Need to keep up with your fitness routine? Make use of your private gym’s treadmill, full-body exercise machine, and pilates equipment or if you’re wanting to make the most of your location, go for a jog along the shoreline – you’ll welcome the Atlantic breeze.

Seek out the pristine sands of the iconic Camps Bay beach, a ten-minute walk away. Consider putting on your walking shoes and heading up the Kasteelspoort trail – a picnic at the top, overlooking the Twelve Apostles, would make a treasured memory.

Sea Waves Hello

With spectacular views over rolling South Atlantic swells and the iconic 669m-tall Lion's Head mountain, this three-bedroom apartment is high up in Camps Bay, within a quiet, family-friendly enclave of nine semi-detached units.

The lower level is open plan and leads to an irresistible outdoor area with stylish seating, a small private pool and incredible sea views. It's easy to imagine long days where you don't stray far from this spot. Back inside, a fully equipped kitchen should be capable of handling anything you can throw at it, with a glass-topped dining table and built-in corner sofa rounding out the offering. 

Upstairs, the main bedroom is the pick of the bunch and boasts a private balcony that makes the most of the elevated location, plus an in-room bathtub. Two further double bedrooms share a bathroom, and look out over the rugged mountain scenery to the back side of the property.

If you can tear yourself away, the pristine white sand and beachside tidal pool of Camps Bay Beach are approximately 3km from your front door. A beachside promenade lined with bars and restaurants makes it the perfect 'dip and dine' destination, and means you don't have to think ahead when it comes to stocking up on supplies for the following day's beach picnic.

Sandwiched between the sea and mountains, you'll also find a selection of challenging hikes through nearby Table Mountain National Park. However, for that iconic Cape Town photo from the top of the mountain, you'll need to drive the 3.5km to Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, which will whisk you up the mountain in around five minutes.


South Atlantic Spectacular

Boasting gorgeous views of the Atlantic Ocean, this stunning apartment in the heart of Camps Bay is the perfect setting for a relaxing South African getaway with family or friends.

It’s hard to overstate how jaw dropping this house is. With wraparound glass walls, it is an architectural marvel and a true ode to the exquisite landscape of Camps Bay. Sandwiched by the Twelve Apostle mountains and the glittering Atlantic Ocean, you are treated to unparalleled views here – it’s not every day that you can look out to sea or up to the mountains from your bubble bath. 

The design-led interiors are bursting with character. We love the sultry dining room with its elongated chandelier, and the statement contemporary art pieces dotted throughout the house. The sleek white kitchen is well equipped for cooking up family style meals, and on warm days fire up the barbecue to enjoy lunch alfresco on the deck. 

All three bedrooms have spectacular views, and you’ll love throwing open the curtains each morning before heading down to the pool for a dip. You are perfectly placed to explore Cape Town’s natural delights here. The house is on the edge of Table Mountain National Park, where you’ll find a myriad of hiking trails through breathtaking scenery. Drive seven minutes and spend the day frolicking in the waves at Camps Bay Beach, with its white sands and promenade lined with restaurants and beach bars. There’s a buzzy nightlife scene here, and when the sun sets the beach bars turn into night clubs. If you’ve come for relaxation, head back to your private paradise, draw a bath, and watch the mountains turn golden.

Nice to haves

In the exclusive Bakoven neighbourhood of Cape Town, you’ve got the shadows of mighty Table Mountain National Park on one side, and the most wonderful bays and beaches on the other. This luxurious villa is about a twenty-five-minute stroll downhill to Bakoven Beach, or just a few more minutes to bustling Camps Bay Beach. But with all these natural wonders so close to home, you’ll need somewhere to relax after all that time in the great outdoors.

At the top of a hill, your villa looks out to the most fantastic vistas of the oceans and mountains. Modern, angular, and sophisticated, the architecture certainly wouldn't be out of place in the Hollywood Hills – with a VIP vibe to match. We love your host’s generous offer to arrange private yacht trips, chauffeurs, and even massages or private chefs to pay you a visit.

The bright colours of the living space create a vibrant and playful warmth, alongside opulent features like a tiled marble staircase. Head up to find private balconies flowing on from the bedrooms, but pay particular attention to what you can see on the decking below. Your private pool, barbecue, outdoor lounge, and hot tub await. Did someone say champagne?

Enjoy the vistas almost from the moment you wake up, with both bedrooms and the living space opening right onto the terrace overlooking the mountains and ocean scene. When the South African sun gets too hot, cool off in the plunge pool and listen out for the faint sound of the surf from the waters below. 

Fire up the barbecue in the evening and dine alfresco over the golden sunset bay, sipping a glass of Cape Town wine until the night descends and a crescent of lights illuminates the bay. While on colder nights, romantic evenings would be perfectly spent in front of the fireplace.

We can't think of a better backdrop for morning cups of coffee, afternoon dips in the private pool or alfresco evening meals. And, when the day draws to a close, you'll have a front-row seat for arguably the best oceanfront sunset in Camps Bay – we can definitely toast to that.

Inside, sunshine streams through the floor-to-ceiling windows, bathing every nook and cranny in light. The open-plan layout invites you to socialise or relax, depending on your mood, so make yourself right at home. Stretch out on the leather sofa and watch a film on the DVD player, then cook up bobotie in the glossy kitchen when you grow peckish. All three bedrooms are as comfortable as they are stylish, as are the bathrooms – there's nothing like unwinding with a soak in one of the lush bathtubs after a long day on your feet.

And speaking of long days, with a location as good as this, we bet you'll be out and about exploring. Go for a hike in Table Mountain National Park, catch some rays at Camps Bay Beach or savour a cocktail at the waterfront bars on Victoria Road – Cape Town's your oyster, although we won't blame you if you can't tear yourself away from those views.

From the living area and outdoor space, you’re blessed with stunning sea vistas that will make it hard to resist a trip to the beach.

If the pull of the ocean is too strong, head to nearby Camps Bay beach where you can surf, enjoy the tidal pool, or simply stretch out on the sand and soak up the sea breeze as you listen to the sound of the waves. In this beautiful location, you’ll feel utterly content and completely at home.

Waterfront Breeze

With a view of the Twelve Apostle Hills and an enviable location in Camps Bay, this family villa is a little slice of luxury in Cape Town. There’s plenty to keep the whole group entertained and pampered at the villa itself, with a swimming pool looking out towards the Atlantic, a separate plunge pool and a braai for those hot summer nights. A wall of glass slides open to blend the swimming pool terrace with the huge, open-plan living area. In here, you’ve got a vast dining table and plush lounge set around a striking feature fireplace. 

Heading down to the lower floor, you’ll find a dedicated games room with a pool table, and the secret plunge pool on the terrace outside. Bedrooms come with private balconies and patios to take in that Camps Bay sunset in peace every evening. 

Location-wise, you’re in the beachy suburb of Camps Bay, where a stretch of bone-white sand attracts surfers and sun loungers alike. It’s a twenty-five-minute walk (or four-minute drive) to myriad seafront restaurants and bars and there’s shopping galore on Victoria Road.

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

Balcony / Patio

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

For an exciting getaway in Cape Town, this brightly lit apartment is just the thing. Neutral tones sweep through the apartment, which is completely illuminated by the South African sun. It's tempting to have a lazy morning on this large terrace, sipping on coffee and enjoying the clear view of the mighty Table Mountain. Why not go see it up close? It's only a twenty-minute drive away. Hike to the top of the rugged mountain and take in the sweeping views of Cape Town. Or, if hiking's not your thing, Table Bay which lies at the mouth of the mountain is a beautiful stretch of white sand, backed by plenty of shops, restaurants, and of course, Table Mountain. 

For a taste of luxury, Cabo Beach Club is just a seven-minute drive or twenty-four-minute walk from home. There, you can tuck into a delicious lunch, relax on daybeds, and take a dip in the Atlantic Ocean. If you want to glide through the Indian Ocean, head over to the west side of Cape Town. Muizenberg is a thirty-minute drive away and a beautiful place to experience the warmer, more shallow Indian Ocean. 

However you spend the day, you'll love getting home to your modern oasis. Enjoy a drink on the terrace, watch the sun dip behind Table Mountain, and finish the day cosy in your luxurious bed. Or, explore Cape Town's famous nightlife – you're just a six-minute drive or sixteen-minute walk from Long Street, where you can party 'til the wee hours. 

Cape Oasis

This cosy little apartment is the perfect pad for a Cape Town break near the beach. This home is just 100 metres from Camps Bay Beach, so you can almost smell the sea air when you wake up each day and open up the Juliet balcony doors. 

A soft, neutral colour palette means that this home is calm, an ideal place to call home when visiting a city as lively as Cape Town. You’ll sleep well in the comfortable beds, and have everything you need to relax right at your fingertips. There’s even a small garden where you can soak up the sun.

You’re never far from your next great meal here, with a wealth of bars, restaurants and cafes just around the corner on Victoria Road. There’s also a lovely kitchen in the apartment, so you can easily whip up pancakes for breakfast to set you up for a day of sightseeing. Perhaps you’ll take the cable car up Table Mountain and drink in the view? It’s a magnificent way to spend an afternoon. 


The Dandelion Clock

This sand-skimming apartment surrounded by palm trees is paradise itself. Located moments from the lapping waves of Camps Bay Beach, this home offers a contemporary base along the Cape Peninsula shore. 

With incredible attention to those little details that make for an excellent stay, this home is minimal, dynamic and ever-so-comfy. The plump sofa invites you to sit back and play a few card games, whilst the kitchen is decked-out for preparing light bites for you and your loved one to enjoy on the sleek bar table – there’s a barbecue on the terrace if you feel like grilling. One of the main allures here can be found on the balcony, where you can share an icy glass of Chenin Blanc and watch the golden sun sink behind the Twelve Apostles.

Follow the views outside and you’ll find this home provides ideal access to the pristine coastline. From sunset beach walks and crystal-clear water swimming to sampling the vibrant cuisine and sundowners in the waterfront bars, there are endless ways to experience the local Cape culture. 

Breeze On Camps Bay

Skimming the white sands of Camps Bay Beach, this sleek apartment offers views from Lion’s Head, across the immense Atlantic, and over to the majestic mountain range of the Twelve Apostles. Just moments from the lapping waves, this home offers a modern sanctuary along the Cape Peninsula coastline. 

Designed to showcase the natural landscape, expansive glass walls let you appreciate the panoramic views across the glittering sea. Wake up with sun-dappled light dancing on your ceiling before stepping out onto the balcony for coffee with your loved ones. Open up the sliding doors and flood the white space with a cooling sea breeze as you recline on the plush sofa with your new summer read, or beeline for a spot on the sun-soaked terrace.
Fire up the barbecue in the evening and share an alfresco dinner over the golden sunset bay, sipping a glass of local Chenin Blanc until the night descends and the stars illuminate the bay. 

We don't blame you if you want to spend all your time at your oasis. However, there is plenty to do if you feel like getting to know the local area. Walk a matter of steps to the powdery sands of Camps Bay Beach, then stroll along the seafront where you’ll be spoilt with charming seafood restaurants, upscale cafes and colourful nightlife options.

Bay of Palms

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.

Sitting directly across from the ocean, this beautifully styled apartment offers jaw-dropping views and immeasurable comfort in equal measure.

We love the laid-back beach vibe of the home’s decor with its panelled wood floors, nautical art prints and comfy, contemporary furnishings. Make yourself at home on the plump sectional as you watch the palm trees swaying from the floor-to-ceiling windows, or better yet, step out onto your private balcony as you listen to the waves rolling in over a bottle of South African wine at sunset. 

The main bedroom offers equally stunning ocean vistas from its picture windows, while both bedrooms offer luxe en-suites complete with a bathtub and rainfall shower respectively. 

Outside of your home, you’ve got the Sea Point Promenade for sunny waterfront ambles, while the Sea Point Pavillion has been cooling off locals and visitors alike with its seawater pools since the 1950s. Elsewhere, Milton Beach is a short stroll away too, as are plenty of restaurants, bars and shops for anything and everything you may need.
