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.

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.

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.

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

Access to Beach

Overlooking one of South Africa’s most loved beaches, this home makes the perfect setting for a breezy coastal getaway.

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.

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

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

Hot Tub

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. 

Heart of the Horizon

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.

Golden Day

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.

Bay Edge

If you’re looking for your own slice of luxury in the heart of Cape Town, then look no further. This stunning penthouse apartment is truly a hedonist's haven. Based in the heart of Sea Point, close to the beautiful Milton Beach, this home provides panoramic views of the ocean and the surrounding cityscape from its wrap-around balcony, and through the floor-to-ceiling windows that envelop each room.

Inside, you’ll find contemporary design with bags of style. We absolutely love the marble wall murals, luxe fabrics, unique light fittings and Scandi-style furniture. You can rest in the cosy lounge area while taking in the sea views, or sit at the breakfast bar with coffees and pastries in the mornings. On sunny days, you can throw open your balcony doors to let the outside in.

Step outside to find your alfresco dining area – perfect for cocktails at sunset – as well as sun loungers where you can relax in the sunshine. There’s also a communal swimming pool that’s great for a refreshing dip on hot and sticky days, as well as a communal barbecue area where you can grill up some scrummy South African meats to feast on in the evenings.


Sea Point Skylines

A contemporary Clifton stay awaits you at this stunning seaside apartment, located just a stone’s throw from the picturesque palm-lined shore and gorgeous blue sea of Clifton Beach. We love this home’s modern and trendy feel, with marbled surfaces, mirrored walls, luxe light fittings and sleek furniture. We were particularly impressed by the kitchen area, furnished with the latest mod-cons, and featuring a breakfast bar where you can pour some champagne and share a toast. There’s also a dining set for tucking into delicious braai all together on summer evenings. But the true gem of the home is in its outdoor areas – the breathtaking views out to sea make the space feel special. The balcony features a private pool which provides the perfect place to cool off from the hot South African sunshine, while the alfresco dining set is great for sipping on sundowners and watching the sky turn pink.

Sparkling Reflections

Perfectly located opposite Camps Bay Beach, this oceanside apartment boasts unrivalled views with the beach and restaurants just a short walk away.

Wake up to the gentle sigh of the ocean and make a coffee in the stylish modern kitchen before padding onto your private balcony and gazing at the palm-lined beach and ocean. After a day in the sun, wind down with nibbles or a meal in the beach house-style interior. Don’t miss a spectacular sunset from your balcony with a glass of South African wine, although it’ll be hard to – you’ll end up spending most of your time here soaking up the magical views. 

A stone’s throw from the beach, you won’t be able to resist a stroll along the white sands before cooling off in the turquoise water. Grab a bite in one of the many laid-back cafes nearby and have a rummage in the local boutique shops.

This apartment is a perfect base to explore Cape Town. Go hiking in the incredible Table Mountain National Park, which is pretty much on your doorstep, or take a day trip to visit the African penguins at Boulders Beach.

This home is hard to beat for its unforgettable views and central location, just minutes away from the hustle and bustle of exciting Camps Bay.

Ocean Mirrors

Contemporary and traditional come together at this unique penthouse that is decorated with masks, carvings and other African artefacts from places across the continent including, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa. The home’s crowning glory, however, is its position above Camps Bay, offering incredible views of the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re soaking up the sunshine on the terrace during the day or watching the sunset as you dine alfresco at night, the views will truly captivate your every moment. 

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. 

Beauty & the Bay

DVD Player

Admire the views over Bali Bay from the sun loungers on this home’s private terrace – we think they are stunning. As the day heats up, take a cooling dip in the plunge pool, then enjoy some of the South African staple chakalaka for an alfresco lunch, followed by some malva pudding. Inside, you can relish more of those sea vistas from all of the rooms. This home is perfect for a couple, business professional or solo traveller.

Located in upscale Camps Bay, spend the day on the white sands of its namesake beach and take in the outlook of the Twelve Apostles mountains. Or sample one of the seafood restaurants, cafes or stylish bars along the promenade. For culture lovers, there’s the Theatre on the Bay, which stages drama, musicals and comedy year-round.
