Holiday Home Rental Description
A fully-staffed contemporary villa with breath-taking views across the stunning beaches of both Clifton and Camps Bay, Cape Luxe offers unparalleled comfort, with a gym, bar, an infinity pool and so much more!
Your immense interiors are a true delight – with vast open-plan spaces and the most invigorating designs of monochrome and metallic touches, all flooded with natural light through a huge wall of glass! Your lounge to one end boasts a sofa for the whole group in front of a superb modern fireplace, with the exquisite kitchen beside it. There’s a breakfast bar in the kitchen for casual snacks and meals, as well as a formal dining area alongside it. Separately to this, you’ll also find an indulgent ‘New York Style’ bar area, complete with yet more casual seating and uninterrupted sea-views throughout! Across the interiors, an impressive art collection is displayed, with sculptures adding a marvellous modern character to every room. In addition to superb living areas, you can also benefit from the use of a state-of-the-art gym and massage room, squeeze in a little work in the study, or try a tipple from your private wine cellar. In addition to these facilities, a full team of staff, including a private concierge service, an in-house chef and house-keeping, will keep you well looked after.
Five immense bedrooms promise you a fantastic choice of sublime private spaces, all with superb king-size beds at the heart of them. Each bed is set against a scene of opulence and grandeur, be it a backdrop of the ocean or the twelve Apostles, or else a deluxe environment of teak wood and plush furnishings. Black-out-blinds, air conditioning and wide-screen TVs in front of casual seating and huge wall-to-wall windows create perfectly blissful spaces in each room whether you’re looking to rest, entertain or simply enjoy the scenery! All five also benefit from sparkling ensuite bathrooms, each as elegant and glamorous as the living spaces, with marble and glass throughout and a range of majestic freestanding bathtubs, double vanity sinks and oversized showers!
Head out onto your incredible semi-open-air terrace, where an area of fabulously comfortable leather outdoor seating and even a superb hanging day bed awaits you. From here you can gaze out over stunning sights of the ocean, Camps Bay, Clifton and the 12 Apostle Mountain range all within view thanks to these 270-degree views! And as you command this excellent west-facing position, you’re set to enjoy the most spectacular sunsets too! Stretching the length of this main terrace is your exceptional infinity pool, surrounded by luxury loungers for the ultimate sunbathing spot. Overlooking both Camps Bay and Clifton beaches, Cape Luxe is in perhaps the finest of all locations in this most exclusive area! Just one minute away from both the Clifton beaches and Camps Bay, you could hardly be better placed to revel in the wonders of this exquisite coastline! Camps Bay is a haven of idyllic scenery, thriving nature and a whole host of activities and opportunities nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain’s Twelve Apostles! The northern part of the bay is fantastic for surfing thanks to the perfect wave conditions, while the long stretch of fine white sands along the coast is ideal for games like frisbee and volleyball, or simply sunbathing! Meanwhile, thanks to this perfectly protected location in the bay, the water is incredibly calm, making it perfect for paddling, swimming and spending time with the family. There’s even an incredible tidal pool at the southern end, as well as a gorgeous lawn perfect for picnicking and relaxing.
Meanwhile, the four Clifton beaches are also famous for their natural beauty, spectacular scenery and gentle waves year-round and its 4th beach even enjoys Blue Flag status. And with both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean to choose from in this coastal region, you’ll find an inspiring selection of water-sports available all along the coastline! Surfing and kite surfing are major sports in the area, while you can also take part in a little sea kayaking, where you have got a good chance of spotting seals, penguins, dolphins – and even the odd whale! Indeed, one of the most famous of Cape Town’s attractions, quite rightly, is Boulders Beach, home to a colony of thousands of African penguins! Take a stroll along the wooden boardwalks and admire them in their natural habit, taking a swim in the cold waters or huddling together, all with the backdrop of the stunning ocean and mountainous landscape.
Across the sublime landscape of Cape Town, there are virtually endless attractions and excursions to visit and join – so you can be sure there’s something for everyone! Within a short drive is the iconic V&A Waterfront, a retail and entertainment area right at the foot of Table Mountain with tons of shops, restaurants, markets of all kinds and even both an Aquarium and Marine Museum. It is the starting point for almost all tours, cruises and excursions. Within a short walk of here is the Green Point market, tucked just outside the Green Point Stadium. Visit on Sundays to find locals selling all kinds of authentic arts, craft and curios – just be sure to barter, as they’ll be expecting you to!
An unforgettable day out is a trip to Robben Island, the Maximum Security Prison where political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, were held during the apartheid. The tour begins at the V&A Waterfront and includes not only a tour of the prison itself but also meeting a former political prisoner and a tour of the 575-hectare Island which often includes sightings of penguins!
