Cape Zonke South Africa

A mesmerising modern beauty on the hillside with the most enchanting architecture, Cape Zonke is an unmissable penthouse suite bursting with natural light and fresh air!
Every detail of this extraordinary home has been designed to perfection. The exterior stands strikingly tall, white and impressive against the skyline of mountains and greenery, while the dazzling interiors are sublime. The main lounge is a magnificent sight of two plush sofas and chairs around a traditional fireplace, while just beside it there’s a wonderful large dining table where you can all gather together for memorable meal-times and enjoy the gentle breeze rolling in off the ocean in the distance. Meanwhile towards the back of the room is your wonderful kitchen, fully-equipped for all your catering desires and with a super-stylish breakfast bar too! Glass panels across the entire sea-facing wall afford you the most excellent views as well as letting in lots of natural light. There’s a second lounge towards the back of the room beside the kitchen where you’ll find a TV, and two more cosy seating areas down on the lower level including a large TV area and a perfect reading corner.
On the lower floor, each of these four exquisite bedrooms embodies the same modern beauty with traditional charm, with old, rustic furniture set against magnificent modern designs! Elegant headboards on huge double beds and delicate, minimalist décor create a luxurious environment in which to relax on the sofa or even sit on the gorgeous terrace overlooking the sea. Two of the rooms have fully retractable walls facing the Atlantic Ocean, while the other two have vast French doors leading into your rich and verdant garden! All of the rooms feature fantastic ensuite facilities, where sparkling marble and white surfaces surround the most luxurious facilities, including freestanding bathtubs, double vanity units and immense walk-in showers throughout.
Your garden is sublimely fused with the interiors thanks to the semi-open-air design creating a wonderfully freeing space! Loungers laid out across the terrace are perfect for soaking up some rays and switching off under the warmth of the sun and cool sea breeze of this wonderful location. Beside this, there’s a casual seating area for kicking back and enjoying a drink or a chat as you admire the views – ideal for the epic sunsets that splash vibrant colours across the ocean every night. Pour yourself a glass of something a slip into your fabulous infinity pool for the best view in the house! With a lawn on the lower level, there’s even more space for the whole group to enjoy some fresh air, particularly great for those with young children with energy to burn! Nestled up on the hillside among the vibrant natural landscape of Bantry Bay, Cape Zonke is ideally located to enjoy all the finest aspects of a holiday on the Atlantic Seaboard!
If it’s natural delights you’re after, head over and smell the flowers of the Cape Floral Kingdom, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, at the magnificent Kirstenbosch Garden. This is a botanical garden bursting with a diverse array of plants, forest and gardens across 528 hectares, all with the most remarkable views! Take a memorable walk above the tree-tops along the Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway or even arrange to see one of the many concerts or art exhibitions that are held here year-round, or simply take a picnic and enjoy a bite to eat in the spectacular scenery.
Along this beautiful Atlantic Coastline, you can also try out sea kayaking, with a good chance of spotting seals, penguins, dolphins – and even the odd whale! Or even take an official trip whale watching where you’re likely to see Southern right whales, bottlenose and dusky dolphins and occasionally even humpback and killer whales! As well as this there are loads more activities to take part in across the region, including helicopter rides, hot air ballooning, paragliding, shark cage diving… why not try something new!
