Contemporary and traditional come together at this unique penthouse that is decorated with masks, carvings and other African artefacts from places across the continent including, Zambia, Mozambique and South Africa. The home’s crowning glory, however, is its position above Camps Bay, offering incredible views of the Twelve Apostles and the Atlantic Ocean. Whether you’re soaking up the sunshine on the terrace during the day or watching the sunset as you dine alfresco at night, the views will truly captivate your every moment. Enjoy the vistas almost from the moment you wake up, with both bedrooms and the living space opening right onto the terrace overlooking the mountains and ocean scene. When the South African sun gets too hot, cool off in the plunge pool and listen out for the faint sound of the surf from the waters below. Fire up the barbecue in the evening and dine alfresco over the golden sunset bay, sipping a glass of Cape Town wine until the night descends and a crescent of lights illuminates the bay. While on colder nights, romantic evenings would be perfectly spent in front of the fireplace.
