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.

Boasting spectacular sea views and luxury interiors, this coastal home promises a relaxing and memorable retreat. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town's central, you can savour the peace and comfort this beachside location offers – the white-sand shores of Camps Bay are merely a five-minute stroll away.

Split your time between the two private balconies, kitted out with seating and a barbecue so you can enjoy alfresco meals with the ocean ahead. If you're quiet, you might even hear the waves lapping on Clifton 4th Beach. Inside, homely decor invites you to fully switch off – come evening, sink into the sofa and switch on your favourite TV show. But make sure you return to the terrace in time to watch the sunset.

We suggest bringing a car so you can easily journey into the city centre, less than ten minutes away. Learn more about the country's history at the fascinating Iziko South African Museum, before putting on your walking shoes and heading up Signal Hill. Trust us, it's worth it for the views.

With sparkling blue views for as far as the eye can see, waking up here will leave you awe-inspired as Clifton's quartet of stunning beaches is so beautifully framed by this home's windows. 

Stylishly designed with neutral hues of blue, grey and cream, the interiors of this home merge effortlessly with the natural landscape and local surroundings with elegance.

Renowned for its magnificent combination of both mountains and sea, you'll never be far from gorgeous scenery when staying in this part of Cape Town. Just a short drive away from the beach at Camps Bay and Clifton – don't miss the sunset from one of the beachside restaurants with a cocktail in hand.

Nice to haves

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.

Rising above the cliffs and coastline of Camps Bay and showcasing spectacular views over the Atlantic Ocean, this impressive, contemporary retreat stands tall – five storeys tall, to be exact.

With floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors in just about every room, you'll be greeted by panoramic views of the iconic Lion's Head and Twelve Apostles at every turn. No wonder it's been featured in architecture and interior design magazines.

Multiple kitchens and living areas to relax in means privacy is never a problem. Cosy up with a book in front of the floating fireplace, enjoy your morning coffee on the balcony or take a moment to admire the host's curated art collection. However you like to do self-care, this home has it in spades.

Whether you plan to hire a chef or give it a go yourself, the outdoor kitchen calls for alfresco dinners. Gather everyone around the table, pop open a bottle of wine and tuck in as the sky turns golden. End another day in paradise with a dip in the infinity pool to fully immerse yourself in the scenery, or run yourself a bath and let the bubbles wash over you.

With the famous Camps Bay beach practically on your doorstep, plus the swanky seafood restaurants and rooftop bars of the city within easy reach, you can spend your time surfing, sunbathing and sampling world cuisines 'til your heart's content. What more could you ask for on a South African getaway?

Granite & Glass

This compact apartment, located on Clifton 2nd Beach, offers superb views of the South Atlantic Ocean and a homely, fuss-free atmosphere. 

The open-plan living space with its comfy sofas and neutral colour scheme is the ideal place to kick back with a glass of natural wine while watching the tide ebb and flow through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Catch up with your loved ones over plates of bobotie rustled up in the fully-equipped kitchen before slipping on your flip-flops and heading down to the seafront. 

After sunning yourself on the pristine sand, take the fifteen-minute drive into the heart of Cape Town for a history lesson at the District Six Museum. Peruse the artisanal stalls in the Neighbourgoods Market, pore over the works in the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art and soak up incredible vistas from the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway – it’s particularly special at sundown.

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.

Umbrellas

Peacefully nestled between Lion's Head and Clifton Bay, this spectacular home has so many pluses that it's hard to know where to start. The truly enviable location isn't a bad place to begin – not only does it put you close to some of Cape Town's most beautiful attractions, but the views of the Atlantic Ocean are truly awe-inspiring.

As you would hope from a home in such stunning surroundings, there are an awful lot of floor-to-ceiling windows across the three storeys, which have the added perk of flooding the interior with natural light. This asset is only accentuated by the bare wooden floors and sleek surfaces in the kitchen and bathrooms. The furnishings are mid-century in style, which adds an urbane sophistication to the lounges and bedrooms.

And of course, you're well and truly spoilt when it comes to outside amenities, too. The plunge pool offers a spot in which to cool off during the hottest part of the afternoon and the inbuilt sound system only adds to the ambience. Added to this, there's a covered terrace complete with an alfresco dining table, plus balconies off the bedrooms that are superb for sunset-watching.

You might just find you can only gaze out at the ocean for so long before you feel compelled to venture over for a swim – the good news is that Camps Bay Beach is only six minutes' drive away. Lion's Head doesn't take much longer if you're in the mood for a hike, while Cape Town's bustling city centre is a quarter of an hour away by car.

Strikingly Handsome

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. With huge picture windows that frame the Atlantic vistas and plush furnishings in the comfortable living room – you’ve got a light-filled oasis to unwind in. Factor in the calm, pared-back bedrooms, and you’ve got all you need for a blissful stay on the Cape Peninsula.

Follow the views outside and you’ll find that 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. 

Shades of Sea

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

If you’re looking for mountain views, you’ve found them. Tucked away on a quiet street in Camps Bay, this luxurious villa has everything you need. The open-plan kitchen and rooftop terrace make this home perfect for entertaining, while the private pool and freestanding bathtubs were made for relaxing afternoons. 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.


Mountain Marvel

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. 

Summer Camp

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

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

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 

Balcony / Patio

Fire Extinguisher

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

Cafetiere

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? 

Sunseekers Haven

Perched just above Camps Bay, you're going to struggle to find a home with a better location than this in Cape Town – or anywhere on the rest of the globe for that matter. Step out onto the terrace and you're greeted with a glorious view of white sands, rolling waves and the Table Mountain range in the distance.

With scenery this stunning, you can see why the architect went for floor-to-ceiling glass windows in the main living area rather than walls. This decision also means that this space is treated to bountiful amounts of natural light, making it a lovely spot in which to relax. We're huge fans of the contemporary design throughout, especially the minimalist kitchen and colourful artworks adorning the walls.

The home even has a surprise up its sleeve in the shape of the plunge pool accessed from one of the bedrooms, offering a wonderfully cooling way to deal with the South African summer months. If you're visiting during the cooler seasons, the large freestanding tub in the master bathroom steps up to the plate instead.

As you can probably guess from the panorama, it doesn't take long to reach the beach – in fact, you can be standing on the sand in no more than three minutes on foot. It also only takes five minutes to drive over to the Table Mountain National Park, in which you'll find a wealth of hiking routes and vantage points. Cape Town's City Centre is just over ten minutes away in the car, 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

Shared Pool

This penthouse has a private roof terrace with incredible vistas over the city – it's the perfect spot for a barbecue lunch, followed by cocktails made at the bar. Or, later, go for a sunset dip in the communal rooftop pool – we love the vistas from here. Inside, take a seat on the huge, comfy L-shaped sofa and spend some quality time chatting with your family or friends. If you don't fancy eating out, rustle up a Cape Malay curry, open up the doors in the dining area to the balcony and enjoy your meal as a cooling breeze drifts in. 

Situated in Green Point, Cape Town, have a stroll around its namesake park with its lakes, jogging trails, and hedge maze. The park is also home to the Cape Town Stadium, which hosts sports and concert events. There are plenty of bars and restaurants to sample in the neighbourhood too.

This cool, contemporary cottage boasts a beautiful balcony, private splash pool and sun deck all within walking distance of the stunning Sea Point Promenade.

You’ll love making your morning coffee in the light-filled kitchen before heading out to spend the day on the tiled terrace surrounded by lush greenery. Laze on loungers by the pool or spread out on the outdoor sofa before cooling off with a refreshing dip. Get the gas-fired barbecue going and spend the afternoon preparing a family-sized feast. Dine alfresco on the deck before savouring a sundowner on the balcony. At chillier times of year, retreat inside as the light fades and cosy up on the sofa and leather armchairs by the wood-burning stove or indulge in a long, hot soak in the tub before bed.  

If you can tear yourself away from such perfect privacy, you’ll find you’re within only a short walk of the popular Sea Point Promenade, with its shops, restaurants and cafes.

Tiles & Terraces

Ideally located in Cape Town’s chic hillside De Waterkant district, this stylish apartment invites you to relax, unwind and take advantage of its beautifully appointed amenities. 

From the moment you walk into the open-plan living area, there’s a sense of laid-back lavishness with its hanging crystal feature ornament, beachy rattan chairs, plump sofas and carefully curated artwork. Light streams in through the glass doors here that lead out onto a private patio equipped with a swimming pool and deck chairs. Spend your mornings catching some rays while looking out over gorgeous city views before cooling off in the sparkling pool’s waters. Back inside, enjoy a celebratory meal around the dining table over a bottle of South African wine, then retreat to your four-poster beds where a blissful night’s sleep awaits. With rainfall showers and an en-suite soaking tub to boot, you’ve got everything you need for a carefree stay. 

Outside of your home, your De Waterkant locale has a plethora of fashion boutiques, commercial art galleries and global eateries to discover. You’re also within walking distance of the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and the bustling V&A Waterfront. 


Crystal Sun

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

If you’re looking for a home with a view, they don’t get much better than this. Nestled in the heart of Sea Point – one of Cape Town’s most coveted neighbourhoods – this ocean-facing apartment is ideal for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. Inside, high ceilings and plush furnishings make this a home you’ll be happy to linger in, while the private terrace is the perfect place to soak up the gorgeous South African sunshine. Go for a quick dip in the glistening pool or settle in for a day of drinking and dining at the outdoor dining table, which boasts gorgeous views of Cape Town’s beautiful Signal Hill. 

We could easily spend all day unwinding here but, if you fancy a change of scenery, there’s plenty to explore nearby. Wander down to Queen’s Beach for an afternoon of sunbathing or stretch your legs at Signal Hill, one of the best places to watch the sun go down over the city. When it’s time to eat, grab a bite at a local restaurant or head home for a delicious evening meal in the fresh air before turning in for the night. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to end the day. 

Yellowwood Heights

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.

A Dose of Sunshine

Courtyard

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. 

Oak & Glass

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 

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. 

Leader of the Camp

High up in gorgeous Sea Point, this modern apartment boasts stunning ocean views from the balcony and is ideally located near some of Cape Town’s famous spots. 

Open the sliding doors and savour the beautiful scenery from your private balcony, before cooking up a delicious BBQ and watching a spectacular sunset. Each bedroom also has a Juliette balcony – you can wake up to lovely sea views in the master bedroom and admire the side of Lion's Head mountain from the second bedroom.

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

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

Step inside this exquisite villa in Camps Bay. Its contemporary design and excellent natural lighting combine to highlight both the stunning interior and the amazing vistas that surround the home. In the morning, make an iced coffee and go through the sliding doors, absorbing the ocean views, before plunging into the cooling pool. We adore the open plan living area that gives an airy space for everyone to relax and entertain, or head downstairs to the cinema room, remembering to bring along the popcorn.

Catch a performance at Theatre On The Bay to experience comedy acts and theatre plays in this gorgeous little theatre venue. It won't be long until you crave a beach day, so take a four-minute drive to Camps Bay Beach to wander along the white sand while admiring the scenic mountain views before selecting the right area to relax for the day. Take a drive along the coastal route to Cape Point – the route will take you past breathtaking coastal scenery, including Muizenberg's colourful beach huts, Kalk Bay, Simon's Town, and Boulders Beach to watch the Penguins. 


A Picture of Glory

Wine Cooler / Wine Cellar

You'll feel like you're dreaming when you stay at this luxury villa, boasting panoramic views of Cape Town's staggeringly beautiful landscape. With Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean ahead, luxuriate in the private infinity pool or lay horizontal on a lounger with a glass of wine in hand. If this isn't heaven, we don't know what is. Sleek and contemporary, every room in this vast home is flooded with light thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows – most of which look out onto the spectacular vista. 

When you manage to peel yourself away from this premium pad, enjoy a sun-soaked stroll through the neighbouring national park. Keen hikers can enjoy steep trails up and around Table Mountain, but there are also more leisurely routes if you prefer gentler walks. The city centre is just a twelve-minute drive away, housing a collection of fascinating museums and plenty of eateries serving traditional South African cuisine.

Sea Meets Mountain

This minimalist yet elegant apartment situated between the picturesque Sea Point and the vibrant Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is an ideal base for a small family or an intimate group of friends wanting to make the most out of their time in Cape Town. Close to the idyllic beaches, with plenty of options for surfing, dining and entertainment, you’re guaranteed a memorable stay. 

The apartment will welcome you with a bright and cosy open-plan living room, with huge windows letting in plenty of natural light. Slide open the glass door and step out on the balcony – while you might miss the sea views, the lovely trees and that blue sky will still make for a lovely backdrop for a relaxed drink or two with your loved ones. Inside, you can kick back and relax on the comfy sofa, enjoying a movie night, courtesy of the smart TV and a Netflix account. Rustle up a delicious supper in the well-equipped kitchen and share it at the dining table, which also doubles as a comfy laptop-friendly workspace. 

Get a good night’s rest in the comfy bedrooms and wake up refreshed and ready for another day of Cape adventures. Why not start by exploring your area, where you’ll find plenty of hip coffee shops and restaurants, and you can easily walk to the Sea Point Promenade, where you’ll be able to admire the unparalleled sea views. 

Blue Eyes Forever 

In the striking setting of the V&A Waterfront, it’s easy to lose yourself in the maze of gleaming marinas, docks, and canals.

And at less than a ten-minute walk from the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art, you can flex a cultural muscle too.

From up on the second floor of this superbly modern block, you’ll love the views of the watery locale. It certainly makes it easier to plan the day ahead, choosing your next location from your balcony, morning espresso in hand. But the facilities here might also make you want to stay put. Keep up with your fitness regime in the residents’ gym, or take a swim in one of the heated pools. Your host can even arrange for massages, private chefs, and activities on your behalf. A truly VIP offering.

In the same vein, your apartment echoes a VIP lifestyle. Fresh and modern in design, you’ll find mid-century furnishings alongside cosy knitted beanbags, as well as huge glass sliding doors. Marble floors will keep your feet cool, while the stylish, understated colour scheme will help you stay zen in this otherwise vibrant neighbourhood.
