This exquisite penthouse is the kind of holiday home you remember fondly for years after unpacking your suitcases. It’s a spectacular home perched on a hillside in Bantry Bay, standing tall against a backdrop of mountains and greenery. It’s a short drive from the beach, lively Camps Bay, and Table Mountain, making it an ideal base for seeing Cape Town. Retractable glass walls create an impressive fusion of indoor and outdoor living, with the living and dining space opening up onto the beautiful terrace. As you prepare pancakes to be served at the breakfast bar, or a feast to be devoured at the elegant dining table, you’ll enjoy the refreshing ocean breeze. In the evening, the sunsets are epic – mix up cocktails and take in the show from one of the comfy sofas. The outside space is spectacular. The cool water of the infinity pool beckons while you soak up the sun on a lounger. The ocean views are breath-taking, and the breeze is delicious in the warmth of the sun. There’s also a lovely garden on the lower level, ideal for moments of reflection, and a great spot for little ones to play. This is a home full of... style and grandeur. Four-poster beds with chic headboards and incredible views of the ocean or garden make the bedrooms idylls, the ultimate spaces for unwinding. Deep bathtubs in the glam en-suites help you take your relaxation to the next level – everything has been carefully considered here. The result is an incredible home that impresses from every angle. You’ll be planning your return visit before you’ve even boarded your plane home.

Host
This home is managed by Oliver
