Homes don't get much more glamorous that this stunning villa in Cape Town. Located in the desirable area of Camps Bay, it's the perfect place to begin your South African adventures in style. The ultra-modern home has plenty of room for all your guests, with two living spaces, two kitchens, and a studio apartment complete with its very own kitchenette. It's ideal for guests who want to maintain their own space and schedules, while still spending some quality time with their loved ones in this stunning setting. There are plenty of luxurious details, from the Sonos sound system to the beautiful artworks, and even a koi pond. And, you'll love the outdoor space too – there are two swimming pools, along with an outdoor dining area and balcony complete with epic views across to the sea. Fans of the beach can head to the sandy shoreline of Camps Bay Beach for a day by the water – it's just a few streets away. If you're feeling active, you can hike up iconic Table Mountain, or take the cable car for a more gentle approach. And, culture fans can take a short drive into the city centre, to spend some time... at the fascinating Iziko South African Museum or the District Six Museum, followed by dinner at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront.
