Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
A heavenly retreat in Cape Town’s chic hillside De Waterkant neighbourhood, this home is a vision of glamour and comfort at every turn. Laid out over three floors, you’re spoilt when it comes to space here with ample room to socialise in the living area or to enjoy some quiet time alone in the beautifully curated bedrooms. Throughout, a neutral colour palette sets a calming scene, with stunning pieces of African-inspired art on the walls sitting alongside ornate beadwork chandeliers and rattan ornaments. The main living space is particularly impressive with its glass foldaway doors that give way to a private splash pool – ideal for cooling off after a long day of sightseeing while watching the sunset from its picture window. Alternatively, spend evenings gathered around the elegant dining table, or better yet, head upstairs to the rooftop terrace for alfresco meals and breathtaking views of Signal Hill. Outside of your home, you'll find a yoga studio, a shopping mall, restaurants and a jazz club within walking distance. You're also a ten-minute drive from Table Mountain, while Cape Town Stadium, the V&A Waterfront and the beaches of Clifton are all within easy reach as well.
