Sun Scape Villa is a 5-bedroom villa in Camps Bay, sleeping up to 10. 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. This property does not accept pets. The address is 76A Theresa Avenue, 8005 Cape Town. That is a short drive down to the beach, and about twenty minutes into the city bowl.
Off-shutter concrete, deep cantilevered terraces and a courtyard pool you can step into from the lounge.
The pool sits inside a white-walled enclosure floored in timber-plank tiles, with white cushioned steel-frame armchairs, a strip of lawn and a white pebble border. The Twelve Apostles rise straight above the wall. Sliding doors put the living room directly on the water, which makes keeping an eye on swimmers easy.
The main terrace runs the length of the house under an off-shutter concrete soffit, behind frameless glass balustrades and beneath a retractable awning. Timber bar stools line a raised counter, marble-look occasional tables sit between striped bench seating, and Lion's Head, the bay and the Atlantic fill the outlook. A smaller side deck with a timber-clad wall and a curved stone stair gives you a quieter corner.
The lounge sits under a raked white-boarded ceiling, with oak slat panelling, a marble wall carrying the television above a linear fireplace, a pale boucle corner sofa and a round travertine coffee table. Air conditioning is fitted. The dining table is glass on a fluted timber base, seating ten in olive velvet chairs on a jute rug under mirrored pendants, with the white kitchen and its bar stools open behind.
The main bedroom is finished in cream, with an upholstered wall behind the bed, a glass-walled en-suite holding a twin timber vanity and shower, and sliding glass onto its own balcony. On the way up, a sculptural stone urn marks the turn of the stair.
