Perched within a mountain estate and built from natural materials, this house sits above Cape Town's Hout Bay valley with views stretching across the Orange Kloof Reserve and, from the deck, all the way to Table Mountain. A spring-fed eco pool, Scandinavian sauna, and ice plunge pool make the outdoor space restorative, while a mountain-top gazebo – reached via a scenic trail – is something few homes anywhere can match. Hout Bay Beach and Chapman's Peak Drive are both about a twelve-minute drive away when you're ready to leave the mountain behind.

Home truths
The en-suite bathroom is integrated into the main bedroom so privacy is limited.
This house is off-grid optional. It's fully connected to electricity and water, but it can run without the mains supply during load shedding or power cuts.
If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot and high chair. You'll need to request them in advance.
There's an unfenced pond in the garden here.
Despite feeling remote, you're around a five-minute drive from Hout Bay harbour and beach, and around a seven-minute drive from Llandudno Beach. Free parking is available.
This home is staffed with a live-in maid and gardener.
This is a lived-in home. You should expect some of the host's personal belongings to be present during your stay.
The hosts' Pomeranian dog is a permanent resident on the estate, so if anyone in your group has allergies or a fear of dogs, it's worth knowing before you book.
