This home creates the illusion of being almost completely outside – walls of glass and expansive wooden-clad pergolas seamlessly blend into the home’s concrete foundation to create vast spaces that feel both inside and out. Split over three levels, the house is a gift that just keeps on giving – you’ll instantly fall in love with its contemporary design, luxurious features and indulgent areas for socialisation. Make the most of morning swims in your private outdoor pool and starlit soak sessions in your jacuzzi, situated on the terrace and offering glorious views of the bay and the surrounding mountains. You can also host memorable dinners here, thanks to the pizza oven and sociable kitchen. The outdoor lounge is an indulgent spot to share warm summer nights or head down to the games room to play a few rounds of pool – regardless of your evening agenda, don’t forget to sync your holiday playlist to the surround sound system. A restful night’s sleep is guaranteed with the plush resort-like bedrooms, so you can wake up rested and refreshed, ready for a day of exploring. Lion’s Head is nearby if you feel like a challenge or beeline for Clifton Beach for a... day on the powdery sands. If you’re seeking natural delights and a botanical excursion, head over to Kirstenbosch Garden.
