Given that this villa is only fifteen minutes' walk from Camps Bay Beach, it would be reasonable to assume that if you were to go swimming at any point during a visit here, it would be in the invitingly blue waters of the Atlantic Ocean. What this doesn't take into consideration, however, is the majestic infinity pool on the home's second floor with a gorgeous coastal view – that makes the decision a little bit harder. If you choose to go for a dip without leaving the house, that lets you enjoy the rest of the perks that are to be found at the address. Given the gorgeous climate, it probably won't surprise you to learn that there's plenty of outdoor space here, including a covered terrace with an alfresco dining table and a barbecue on which to cook up smoky flavours. When you eventually have to retire inside, you won't be disappointed by what you're greeted with. The design is ultra-modern throughout, especially the sleek white kitchen and the striking dining table. That being said, you can still find homely aspects – what better way to end the day than snuggled up next to the fireplace or soaking in the freestanding bathtub? When you're in the mood to see a little more of your surroundings, you don't have far to travel. As well as the nearby seaside spot, guests are also only five minutes' drive from the myriad walking routes and vantage points of Table Mountain National Park and about twelve minutes in the car from the bright lights of central Cape Town.
