South Africa Unique Homes

The Lavender Cottage

• 2 guests

• 1 bedrooms

Bishopscourt, Cape Town

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 Beachcombers

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Bakoven, Cape Town

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.

Sunseekers Haven

• 6 guests

• 3 bedrooms

Camps Bay, Cape Town

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.
