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.

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.

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.

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

A heavenly retreat in Cape Town’s chic hillside De Waterkant neighbourhood, this home is a vision of glamour and comfort at every turn. 

Laid out over three floors, you’re spoilt when it comes to space here with ample room to socialise in the living area or to enjoy some quiet time alone in the beautifully curated bedrooms. Throughout, a neutral colour palette sets a calming scene, with stunning pieces of African-inspired art on the walls sitting alongside ornate beadwork chandeliers and rattan ornaments. 

The main living space is particularly impressive with its glass foldaway doors that give way to a private splash pool – ideal for cooling off after a long day of sightseeing while watching the sunset from its picture window. Alternatively, spend evenings gathered around the elegant dining table, or better yet, head upstairs to the rooftop terrace for alfresco meals and breathtaking views of Signal Hill. 

Outside of your home, you'll find a yoga studio, a shopping mall, restaurants and a jazz club within walking distance. You're also a ten-minute drive from Table Mountain, while Cape Town Stadium, the V&A Waterfront and the beaches of Clifton are all within easy reach as well.

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.

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

Balcony / Rooftop Terrace

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.

Just a stone's throw from the V&A Waterfront, there's plenty to explore around this sleek apartment. You've got bustling Green Point and its array of lively nightlife, delicious restaurants and cute coffee shops within easy reach. Then there's the aquarium and museums right by the seaside, as well as breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Table Mountain from the top of Signal Hill. And with the buzz of Cape Town's City Centre also close by, we can't think of a more central spot.

Adventures may be right on your doorstep, but you'll need a cool and contemporary place to return to after a long afternoon on your feet. This apartment is the ideal antidote – picture breezy living spaces, stylish bedrooms and a glossy kitchen that makes self-catering a dream. There's also a balcony where you can catch the last of the evening rays – although it overlooks the hustle and bustle of the street, we still think it's an excellent spot to share a bottle of South African Pinotage as you plan tomorrow's itinerary. You'll also find a communal pool on-site, perfect for a quick morning swim before heading out for the day.

Morning Gleam

All the comforts of a self-catering apartment complex but with much more style than most, this home also boasts a great location, a shared pool and some pretty stunning views of the mountains. Set in De Waterkant, all the delights of Green Point are close at hand, with the V &A Waterfront just a stroll away and the hiking trails of Signal Hill within easy reach. Along with art galleries, restaurants, shopping and fitness centres practically on your doorstep, it's ideal if you're hoping to stay in the very heart of things.

Colourful and eclectic, this home is freshly renovated, with modern decor, an open layout to the living space and internal stairs up to its bedrooms. There are some fun furnishings and wall art to give it all some character, and a little terrace area to sit out on with your cup of coffee. But it's the view from the master bedroom's Juliet balcony that really wowed us – just imagine gazing at the mountain across the treetops every morning.  

Eclectic City

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

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

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

In the striking setting of the V&A Waterfront, it’s easy to lose yourself in the maze of gleaming marinas, docks, and canals. Whether you’re off on a yacht trip, windsurfing day, or hoping to see some marine wildlife in the Two Oceans Aquarium, this apartment is more than convenient for a waterside stay. 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.

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

Bright and modern, this home in Mouille Point combines rattan furniture, pampas grass, and plenty of wooden elements with bold wallpaper and vibrant tiles to create a natural bohemian style with dramatic flair. As if that isn’t already impressive enough, this home also has incredible views of Lion’s head on one side and the Atlantic on the other. 

With the kitchen being as charming as it is, you might rediscover your love of cooking whilst preparing a breakfast of eggs, sauteed mushrooms, toast, and sausage. Take it over to the dining table to enjoy with freshly-brewed coffee and a mesmerising view of the sunny city. 

Stroll to the beach right on your doorstep and take a long walk in the salty surf before stopping off for ice cream. Visit the Green Point Lighthouse and go around sampling the restaurants and coffee shops in the area. Golfing enthusiasts will be delighted by not only one, but two golf courses that are located mere minutes away. 

Explore the diverse city at your fingertips and when you’re ready to return home, you can expect to find a relaxing environment to unwind in. Run a bubble bath and soak in the freestanding tub as you read a romance novel before enjoying a glass of wine in the sunny nook adjacent to the bedroom. End the day by falling asleep on the comfortable couch as you’re watching your favourite movie snuggled up.

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

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.

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

Playing with raw materials such as brick and concrete, this industrial, loft-style home in the Mother city is not only modern and well located, but the Juliette balcony is another excellent way to feel the pulse of this great city. Watch a romantic sunrise, with cups of sweet coffee in hand, as you snuggle together, or if you’re night owls, you might appreciate cocktails at sunset a lot more. Inside you can finish off breakfast in the sleek kitchenette and enjoy it sitting back in the beautiful, velvet dining chairs. 

Surrounded by restaurants, cafes, and with a gallery in close proximity, you can head out for a dose of Cape Town’s diverse culture - we especially recommend taking a drive through the colourful Bo-Kaap only five minutes away. Shop, eat, and watch the seals play in the harbour at the V&A Waterfront or go in search of Cape Malay cuisine.

Back home, kick off your shoes after a long day of exploring and sink into the plush corner sofa to watch your favourite rom-com whilst sharing a tray of moreish koeksisters. 

Modern Industrial

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

Nestled in the heart of trendy Mouille Point, this practical South African apartment is ideal for couples looking to unwind on Cape Towns’ stunning Atlantic shore. What this home lacks in unique design details, it more than makes up for in stunning ocean vistas, which you can soak up from almost every room in the house. Wake up to the soothing sound of waves lapping against the shore, then grab a seat at the dining table and gaze out at the glistening water as you tuck into a delicious home-cooked breakfast.

Perched on the edge of the V&A Waterfront, this place is perfectly positioned for exploring all that northern Cape Town has to offer. Catch some rays at Mouille Point Beach or go for a wander through stunning Green Point Park before heading back to your coastal home from home, where you'll have a front row seat to the glorious South African sunset. What could be better?

Waterfront Waltz

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

Need to catch up on work between glorious sunsets? Make use of the laptop-friendly workstation and go for a jog along the buzzing Sea Point Promenade during your lunch break, or head up to the fourth floor of the block and take a dip in the communal outdoor swimming pool and make the most of the entertainment area.

In your free time, discover the exciting attractions at the V&A Waterfront, just 1.6 miles away, including the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA). With more than 100 galleries over nine floors, you’ll be fascinated all day long. For a romantic evening, take a picnic to the summit of Signal Hill, just half a mile away from the apartment, and enjoy a magical sunset over Table Mountain.

For breathtaking sea views and the perfect location to sample some of the best that Cape Town offers, look no further than this relaxing apartment.

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

There are many highlights of this home, but the cosy terrace with incredible views of Table Mountain is the jewel in its crown. Inspiring and mesmerising, it adds a magical allure to the chic outside space. 

We imagine that outside space is where you'll spend most of your time. Whether it's sharing a pot of coffee for breakfast, tasting some biltong for lunch or watching the orange hues of sunset disappear beneath the mountain. 

The chic style of the terrace continues once inside the home. Authentically African artwork hangs on the walls and rustic artefacts are dotted around the living room. 

The living room – adorned in comfy sofas and facing the TV – leads to a contemporary kitchen and breakfast bar. You can open the patio doors to the terrace and sit on the stools to replicate beach bar vibes.

If you wanted to visit an actual beach bar, there are many lined across the shoreline at Camps Bay. But mosey around slightly more locally and you'll find a nexus of restaurants, cafes and bars around the vibey streets of De Waterkant.

Setting the Table

Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront feels like an opulent floating city within a city. You’ve got the striking heights of Table Mountain in one direction, the blend of two mighty oceans on the edge, and your apartment in the centre of it all. A twelve-minute stroll (or one kilometre) from Two Oceans Aquarium, this coastal abode allows for easy access to yacht trips, fabulous dining, and even watersports for the adrenaline seekers among us. Luckily you’ve got somewhere to relax afterwards.

Modern and bright, this apartment is set on the ground floor of a shiny residential complex. With its own on-site gym and outdoor pools, you won’t be short of things to do. But the most wonderful thing about the setting is having gorgeous views of the marina right on your doorstep. With a leafy, green trellis shading your private patio, you can enjoy these vistas in serenity – with a glass of chilled South African wine in hand, naturally.

In the evenings, relax on stylish, mid-century furniture in the living space. The mixture of wooden features, bright colours, and marble tiled floors creates a sophisticated yet playful feel in the lounge. And you might not even need to explore your kitchen, as your host can arrange for a chef to come over and handle dinner. More wine?

Waterlily

This stunning, contemporary apartment, nestled against the base of Signal Hill, enjoys panoramic city and ocean views – open up the foldaway glass doors onto the balcony and watch the waves move along the ocean, as well as the endless sights to see with your morning coffee. Back inside, we love how the floor-to-ceiling doors let in light while you use the kitchen to prepare lunch to enjoy outside on the dining table shadowed by ancient artwork. What's more, both bedrooms have direct access to either a courtyard or a balcony, making the rooms feel larger.

Located in Green Point and close to a number of restaurants and shops, as well as the Sea Point Promenade and the V&A Waterfront. If you enjoy hiking, venture to the Lion's Head path, which begins just opposite the apartment's entrance, so put on your hiking boots and surround yourself with the natural wonders with an excellent view of the city. Expect to snack your way through everything from biltong to Black Forest gateau while sipping fresh juices, coffee and craft beer at the Neighbourgoods Market.

A Treasure Somewhere

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

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

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

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

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.

Luxury Toiletries

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.
