It’s hard to overstate how jaw dropping this house is. With wraparound glass walls, it is an architectural marvel and a true ode to the exquisite landscape of Camps Bay. Sandwiched by the Twelve Apostle mountains and the glittering Atlantic Ocean, you are treated to unparalleled views here – it’s not every day that you can look out to sea or up to the mountains from your bubble bath. The design-led interiors are bursting with character. We love the sultry dining room with its elongated chandelier, and the statement contemporary art pieces dotted throughout the house. The sleek white kitchen is well equipped for cooking up family style meals, and on warm days fire up the barbecue to enjoy lunch alfresco on the deck. All three bedrooms have spectacular views, and you’ll love throwing open the curtains each morning before heading down to the pool for a dip. You are perfectly placed to explore Cape Town’s natural delights here. The house is on the edge of Table Mountain National Park, where you’ll find a myriad of hiking trails through breathtaking scenery. Drive seven minutes and spend the day frolicking in the waves at Camps Bay Beach, with its white sands... and promenade lined with restaurants and beach bars. There’s a buzzy nightlife scene here, and when the sun sets the beach bars turn into night clubs. If you’ve come for relaxation, head back to your private paradise, draw a bath, and watch the mountains turn golden.
