Location: Camps Bay, South Africa

4 bedrooms, sleeps 8.

Price: From $4,074 per night

A four-level contemporary villa cut into the Camps Bay slope, the Atlantic on one side and the Twelve Apostles rising on the other. Four bedrooms, all en-suite, and the fourth is a self-contained flatlet on the lower level with its own entrance off the garden and a kitchenette, which is what makes this house work for two couples or for grandparents along with a family. The social floors hold open living and dining behind full-height glass, with a rim-flow pool on the terrace, and a gym and a sauna in the house. There is a wine cellar, a dedicated office and garaging for three cars, which is rare on this slope. Camps Bay beach and the restaurant strip are about eight minutes downhill on foot, and the walk back up is the price of the view. | Location: Camps Bay, South Africa | Bedrooms: 4 | Guests: 8 | Price: From $4,074 per night | Top Amenities: Rim-flow swimming pool, Sea and mountain views, 4 en-suite bedrooms | Best For: Families of up to 8, Two-couple groups needing separation, Walk-to-beach Camps Bay stays

Ocean Breeze is built into the Camps Bay hillside across four levels, which is how a house on a slope this steep buys separation. The social floors hold open living, dining and a kitchen behind full-height glass with the Atlantic straight ahead. There is also a gym and a sauna, a wine cellar, a dedicated office, and a self-contained flatlet with its own entrance off the lower garden. Four bedrooms, all en-suite, three of them upstairs with balconies. The rim-flow pool on the main terrace lines its edge up with the sea.

Walk-Down Camps Bay

The address is the part people pay for. Camps Bay beach and the restaurant strip are 0.6 km away and they are about eight minutes on foot, so dinner does not need a car and neither does a morning swim. The Twelve Apostles rise directly behind the house, which is what gives the back of the property its mountain outlook. Clifton is six minutes by car, the Table Mountain cableway fifteen, the V and A Waterfront eighteen and the airport thirty. The walk home is uphill, which is the honest cost of living this close to the sand. Camps Bay beach and promenade, 0.6 km, about 8 minutes on foot. Camps Bay restaurant strip, the same 8 minute walk. Clifton beaches, 2 km, about 6 minutes by car. Table Mountain cableway, 7 km, about 15 minutes. V and A Waterfront, 9 km, about 18 minutes. Cape Town International Airport, 26 km, about 30 minutes

Four Levels, Four Bedrooms

Three bedrooms sit together on the top level, each en-suite and each with a balcony: two kings and a queen. The fourth bedroom is the flatlet two levels down, a king room with a kitchenette, its own shower room and its own door onto the lower garden, so it works as a wing for grandparents, a nanny, or a second couple who want to come and go without crossing the house. That is four bedrooms in total, not four plus a flat, and the bed mix sleeps exactly eight. Beyond the bedrooms the house carries a gym and a sauna, a wine cellar, and an office set up for someone working part of the trip. 4 bedrooms, all en-suite, sleeping 8. Three king beds and one queen. Top level: 3 en-suite bedrooms, each with a balcony. Lower level: self-contained flatlet with kitchenette and its own entrance. Gym and sauna in the house. Wine cellar and a dedicated home office. Garaging for three cars

The Rim-Flow Pool

The main terrace runs to a rim-flow pool whose edge drops away toward the Atlantic, so from a lounger the water in the pool and the water in the bay read as one surface. Sun loungers and an outdoor dining setting sit alongside it, with the Twelve Apostles behind and the sea straight ahead, and the lower garden gives the flatlet its own piece of outdoor space. Late afternoon is the hour here, when the sun drops behind the sea and the terrace fills up. Rim-flow pool aligned to the Atlantic. Outdoor dining and lounge terrace. Sea views from the pool deck and the upstairs balconies. Twelve Apostles mountain backdrop behind the house. Lower garden off the self-contained flatlet. Sunset over the water from the terrace

How the Days Run

Because the beach is walkable, the rhythm here is different from most Camps Bay houses: down for a swim, back up for lunch, an afternoon on the pool deck, then a walk down again for dinner on the strip. The mountain behind the house gives the hikers in the group something to do before the heat. Table Mountain, the Waterfront and the Cape Peninsula are all inside a drive, and our concierge team sets up transfers, a private chef at the house, and winelands days when the group wants to leave the coast. Beach and dinner both on foot, no car needed in the evening. Pool deck afternoons with the sea in front. Table Mountain cableway and the V and A Waterfront within a short drive. Winelands and Cape Peninsula day trips on request. Private chef and restaurant bookings through our concierge team. Gym, sauna and the wine cellar for the evenings in

Concierge Service

Concierge service comes with the stay. That covers a private chef for a night or for the week, airport and city transfers, restaurant bookings in Camps Bay and in town, in-villa wellness, and day trips to the winelands or down the peninsula. Anything booked ahead is set up before arrival, anything asked for mid-stay goes through the same line, and support runs 24/7 by WhatsApp and phone. The practical effect is that a group can land with nothing arranged and still eat well on the first night. Concierge service included with the stay. Private chef on request. Airport and city transfers on request. Restaurant bookings in Camps Bay and the city. In-villa wellness on request. 24/7 support by WhatsApp and phone
