Step into this home and you’ll find a quiet sanctuary standing proudly above the hustle and bustle of the Mother City below. Surrounded by floor-to-ceiling glass windows, the South African sun casts a gold sparkle across the calming neutral decor. A rooftop pool and views of Cape Town’s finest urban landscape are only some of the small touches of luxury this home has to offer. It’s more than tempting to have a morning coffee in your four-poster bed, but when you’re staying in the popular De Waterkant area of the city, you're truly spoilt for choice with boutique cafes and fine dining restaurants, so you’ll find yourself hopping out of bed, eager to explore. The open-plan living and kitchen space provides the atmosphere for a relaxed social setting, perfect for guests staying in this serene home. Wicker, terracotta clay, wood and stone are some of the many textures that bring nature indoors. The freestanding in-bedroom bathtub provides the bubbly escape needed to relax and remind yourself of the day’s adventures. With a chilled glass of vino in hand, you won't want to get out… other than to refill! Whilst this stunning apartment may help recharge your batteries, the local area will... keep you busy. Ideal for couples or a small group of friends, this home is a luxury base for exploring what this beautiful part of the world has to offer. Plus, with an array of vineyards in the surrounding area, you will likely need somewhere to share your pinot purchase!
