Description Turquoise Wonders: Cape Town

This home is stunningly aesthetic, and with such a spectacular view of Table Bay's private yacht marina, it would be a pity to pass it up. Slide the balcony door open and relax in the egg chair with a drink of your choice, admiring the beautiful turquoise water that glistens in the sun, and when noon arrives, light up the barbecue to enjoy some tasty grilled food. Inside, you'll discover a calming living area with pale blue accents to brighten it up and artwork to give character. The soft tones make the bedrooms feel luxurious, and the master bedroom goes out onto the balcony.

When you wish to escape the hot weather, head down to the communal area for a cool plunge in the pool before spending the day lounging about – as you should on holiday. Take a short walk to the world-renowned V&A Waterfront and The Metropolitan Golf Course to devote the morning on the course, perhaps putting a couple of hole in ones if you're lucky. In the afternoon, visit The Old Biscuit Mill, a heartfelt collaboration between chefs, designers, photographers, and other artists from the area – formerly a biscuit factory that now hosts a Saturday market with over 100 speciality dealers for you to experience.
