Situated on a luxury estate in the heart of the Cape Winelands, this house boasts mountain views from the outdoor space. But it isn't just scenic. The swimming pool also promises hours of fun for the whole family, with ample seating for adults to relax. Though it's hard to compare to the beauty of the natural landscape, the interior is chic with a touch of luxury to make your stay most comfortable. Surrounded by wineries, there's plenty of potential for wine tours, with the popular Franschhoek only a short drive away.

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

This peaceful apartment lies in the midst of Franschhoek, just a ten-minute walk from the village centre. The balcony offers some lovely sunset views and space for alfresco dining. Both bedrooms have en-suites and the twin beds in the second bedroom can be converted into a king bed on request, making it great for couples or friend groups. Children under the age of 12 aren't permitted, but we think families with older children will feel right at home here. You can rent a bike to explore the beautiful area, but we recommend hiring a car for trips down to Cape Town's coast.

We absolutely love the views over the ocean from this home's communal pool deck. There's a gym for your daily workout and a sky bar, restaurant, lounge, entertainment hub, barbecue area and boutique here, too. The shared facilities are excellent, we have to say. There are more city views and sea glimpses to enjoy from this apartment's private wraparound balcony. Another feature we love is that both bedrooms open onto the terrace and have en-suites. We haven't mentioned the location yet. Well, you'll be near the popular Sea Point Promenade, while the V&A Waterfront is a five to ten-minute drive away.

Trendy Seaside Retreat

Balcony / Patio

Beautifully positioned, this sleek pad boasts ocean views and direct beach access. Located in Mouille Point, you'll be within easy walking distance of the V&A Waterfront, with an array of bars and restaurants nearby. Plus, it's only a twenty-minute drive from Table Mountain – also visible from the apartment. The interiors are modern and stylish, with a desk for those who need to work remotely and a window-side dining table for homemade meals. The highlight for us? The home's private balcony is a real standout, with comfy seating and a dining set, it's the perfect place to unwind after an exciting day in Cape Town. 

Breakfast at the Beach

Underfloor Heating

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.

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.

Situated just fifty metres from the secluded Bakoven Beach, this penthouse apartment is excellent for a stay that's luxuriously simple.

The Camps Bay beachfront is within walking distance with its lively restaurants and bars, and you'll have space to park in a designated garage if you want to bring a car for further exploration.

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

Access to Beach

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


Waterfront Breeze

You'll have your pick of outdoor seating at this Cape Town villa, and rest easy knowing you'll have spectacular views of the iconic Table Mountain from wherever you choose to sit. Hanging chairs, sun loungers and an alfresco dining table appear alongside a private infinity pool and lush garden. Though everything will pale in comparison to the vistas outside, the interior puts up a good fight with African-inspired decor, luxurious touches and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in ample light - the steam room in the main bathroom is another nice touch. Hout Bay is full of quirky shops and cafes, and Llandudno Beach is only a short drive away.

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.

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

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

Nestled in the centre of the city of Cape Town, adjacent to the stunning St George's Cathedral, this home offers all the luxury and convenience of city living with breathtaking views to boot, with guests always welcomed to the home by a stunning bouquet of complementary flowers. This two-bedroom abode offers modern, comfortable, sleek furniture and finishings, looking out across the city and towards the majesty of Table Mountain, as well as beautifully-contemporary artworks by established South African artists including Zanele Muholi, Igshaan Adams and Mohau Modisakeng.

When not relaxing at home, Cape Town is the perfect place for adventure. With restaurants, markets and bars all within a five-minute walk, guests are spoilt for culinary choice. A leisurely meander around the Castle of Good Hope is always recommended, and what visit to this beautiful city would be complete without a hike around Table Mountain National Park or Skeleton Gorge. With more adventures than one person could ask for, we are sure that this home will be the setting of a truly unforgettable trip.

Adamastor's Rest

This amazing villa provides stunning, panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you are soaking up the sunshine as you lounge on a sunbed or cooling off in the waters of your private infinity pool, the vista really is amazing.

If adventures and excursions are what you’re looking for, you can charter a private yacht to visit the historic Robben’s Island or even go snorkelling and get up close and personal with the playful and curious Cape fur seals for an ultimate wildlife experience. 

Visit Table Mountain National Park – just a nine-minute drive away and go abseiling from the top of Table Mountain or enjoy the thrill of jet skiing across the waters in front of Table Mountain. 

You can even go on a 4x4 wine safari of Table Mountain where you will stop at the Blockhouse for stunning views over Cape Town accompanied by bubbles and snacks. Then the second part of the journey will take you around to Camps Bay with uninterrupted views of the Twelve Apostles while you enjoy a picnic lunch of cheeses, charcuterie, and a selection of perfectly-paired local South African wines. 

Why not explore the rest of Cape Town in a vintage car? Visit Saunders’ Rock Beach with its imposing granite rocks which shelter it from the wind – just a four-minute drive away. Or, spend the day on the sandy beach of Clifton 1st – just a five-minute drive away. 

In the evening, we would love to let a private chef take care of dinner as we unwind in the soothing bubbles of the hot tub before indulging in cocktails at the home’s very own bar. Then dine alfresco before playing a game of pool or watching a blockbuster movie in the dedicated cinema room. 

Heart of the Horizon

Heated Towel Rail

This charming Camps Bay villa, nestled between the mountains and the sea, is a welcoming retreat where you can escape everyday life and simply enjoy some quality time with loved ones. Inside, the home is light and bright with splashes of colour adorning every room. We love the children’s rooms, in particular – packed full of character and with plenty to keep your little ones occupied when you’re enjoying a relaxing day at base camp. Stroll out onto your sunny terrace and you’ll find a comfortable seating area that’s just inviting you to sink down into the cushions with a book and a glass of fine South African wine. If the heat of the day gets a little too much, slip into your sparkling pool and swim a few lengths as the sun beats down. From the living area and outdoor space, you’re blessed with stunning sea vistas that will make it hard to resist a trip to the beach.

If the pull of the ocean is too strong, head to nearby Camps Bay beach where you can surf, enjoy the tidal pool, or simply stretch out on the sand and soak up the sea breeze as you listen to the sound of the waves. In this beautiful location, you’ll feel utterly content and completely at home. 

Below the Mountains

This sleek and sun-filled apartment overlooks the canal on the harbourfront of Cape Town.

Paths Between Even Grass

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

Playground

This home rises out of the Constantia Valley like a modern masterpiece. And from the moment of arrival, you’ll want to pause and admire its captivating presence. 

From the elegant styling and high-end furnishings to the calm grey tones and sun-dappled rooms, this is the perfect setting for a rural retreat – one that will leave you feeling refreshed and inspired by the beauty of your surroundings. 

With uninterrupted mountain views, the garden will draw you outside to savour the peace and harmony of this setting. Spend slow mornings on the terrace, take a refreshing dip in the pool and embrace the magic of outdoor living with barbecue meals that linger long into the evening. Your host can also arrange for a private chef to prepare a beautiful meal – inviting you to sit back and enjoy the unique spirit of this location. And when you’re ready to retreat back inside, the living room welcomes you to enjoy cosy movie nights by the fire, while the bedrooms (with en-suite bathrooms) provide the perfect sense of sanctuary.  

From here, days can be spent following the renowned wine route (a ten-minute drive away), exploring Cape Town’s hidden treasures and admiring the majestic scenery of this unique location. You’ll find the nearest beaches are just a twenty-five-minute drive away, while Lion’s Head and the city centre are also within easy reach.
