Hollywood Mansion & Spa is a 7-bedroom villa in Camps Bay, sleeping up to 16. It has a private pool, sea views and views up to the Twelve Apostles. Practical bits: air conditioning, WiFi, off-street parking and a braai area. Pets are accepted at this property. The address is Fulham Road, Camps Bay, Camps Bay, 8005 Cape Town. That is a short drive down to the beach, and about twenty minutes into the city bowl.
Seven bedrooms, sixteen beds, and a pool that curves the whole way around the house.
This is a large white modernist build stepped down the slope on Fulham Road, directly beneath the Twelve Apostles. The pool wraps the lower level in a long curve, with navy striped loungers on the terrace, a white four-poster daybed for shade and lawn running to the edge of the property. Off the covered patio a sunken jacuzzi is set into timber decking, alongside wicker sofas, a wrought-iron dining table and a gas heater for when the wind turns.
Travertine floors run through double-volume rooms with curved balconies overhead. The main lounge holds cream and taupe modular sofas around a long white table, with sliding glass to the lawn. The formal dining table seats twelve on white bamboo-style chairs and folds open through glass doors to a second dining area and the kitchen beyond.
Two bookmatched marble waterfall islands, a gas hob under a stainless extractor, a tall black glazed unit with double ovens, and cove lighting throughout. Bar stools line both islands, so nobody has to leave the room while dinner is being made.
There is a cinema room with red leather sofas and blackout curtains, a bar with a mirrored back and glass shelving, and a gym fitted with a rower, a spin bike, kettlebells and a dumbbell rack. One suite is set up as a spa: a freestanding bath, robes hanging ready, a timber screen, a stone feature wall and doors onto a balcony. Dogs are welcome here too.
