With the peaceful rooftop terrace and private jacuzzi that comes with this penthouse apartment, you'd be forgiven for forgetting you're in the centre of Cape Town. Take in panoramic views that are exclusive to you – you'll see all the way to the sea, and can plan your itinerary from a unique vantage point. You'll also enjoy access to a shared swimming pool, allowing you to cool down after a day of working on your tan. All this before we've even mentioned the modern and luxurious interiors – what's not to like? When it comes time to dine, whip up a South African-inspired meal in the sleek kitchen. Serve up your creations – potjiekos, perhaps? – at the six-person dining table with sunlight flooding in through the floor-to-ceiling windows. This new-build home has the feel of an executive suite, with trendy black accents and plush velvet seating. If you're craving a swim in the sea, you won't have to travel far. Queen's beach is just a seven-minute drive away, home to white sands and impossibly clear waters. Spend the afternoon laying on the shore before heading into the city centre to sample the local nightlife.
