Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Located on the slopes of the Twelve Apostles, you’ll have your pick of outside spaces and a private swimming pool to make the most of the villa’s Camps Bay views. Spanning three stories, it won’t be suitable for those with limited mobility, and the sliding door ensuite bathrooms may not be to everyone’s taste. That said, it’s bright with plenty of charm and the two sun-kissed balconies and private garden are perfect for socialising – the outside dining area also makes a great spot for family barbecues. Location-wise, there are many trendy shops and restaurants around the suburb of Camps Bay, while beach lovers can find Bakoven Beach just under 5 kilometres away.
