This charming Camps Bay villa, nestled between the mountains and the sea, is a welcoming retreat where you can escape everyday life and simply enjoy some quality time with loved ones. Inside, the home is light and bright with splashes of colour adorning every room. We love the children’s rooms, in particular – packed full of character and with plenty to keep your little ones occupied when you’re enjoying a relaxing day at base camp. Stroll out onto your sunny terrace and you’ll find a comfortable seating area that’s just inviting you to sink down into the cushions with a book and a glass of fine South African wine. If the heat of the day gets a little too much, slip into your sparkling pool and swim a few lengths as the sun beats down. From the living area and outdoor space, you’re blessed with stunning sea vistas that will make it hard to resist a trip to the beach. If the pull of the ocean is too strong, head to nearby Camps Bay beach where you can surf, enjoy the tidal pool, or simply stretch out on the sand and soak up the sea breeze as you listen to the... sound of the waves. In this beautiful location, you’ll feel utterly content and completely at home.
