Modern Camps Bay Villa is a 4-bedroom villa in Camps Bay, sleeping up to 8. It has a private pool and sea views. Practical bits: air conditioning, WiFi, off-street parking and a braai area. This property does not accept pets. The address is Camps Bay, 8005 Cape Town. That is a short drive down to the beach, and about twenty minutes into the city bowl.
Recently reworked in dusty blue panelling and dramatic marble, with the pool running along the terrace edge.
A slatted timber pergola shades the terrace, where the pool runs along the outer edge with a broad sun shelf and steps at one end. Black mesh bar-height seating sits beside the water, and a stainless gas braai stands within reach of the kitchen doors. The outlook drops over treetops to the bay. Behind the house there is lawn with planted borders and a stone retaining wall, plus a small bistro table on a covered patio for shade in the afternoon.
Pale oak floors run through the main level. One wall is panelled in dusty blue with picture-frame moulding and black open shelving; opposite it a slab of black marble carries the television. A charcoal corner sofa faces it, and the dining table is dark stone with tan leather tub chairs on a Persian-style rug, lit by a sculptural ring pendant. Air conditioning is fitted.
White handleless units set off a bold black-and-white marble island with a waterfall edge, a black spring-neck tap, a wine fridge and integrated ovens. Three caged black pendants hang above it and the bar stools carry timber trim. This is the room the house is built around.
The main bedroom is kept plain white so the materials elsewhere can do the talking, with an en-suite through a marble-lined doorway and sliding doors onto a garden terrace set with a bistro table. Timber stair treads and a black slatted balustrade connect the floors.
