Luxury South African villa Cape Kadu has mansion proportions – bright-white and mid-century modern in style, it sleeps up to 14 over three storeys and also manages to fit in a gym, spa area, sauna and various terraces and lounge spaces. However, even this expansive residence is dwarfed by the bulk of Table Mountain, which rears up majestically behind it. Still, it doesn’t feel insignificant, with the best views in Cape Town all around (the national park, City Bowl, Lion’s Head, Devil’s Peak), you’re very nearly on top of the world…

Location

Photos Cape Kadu
  • The villa sits in the foothills of Table Mountain, at the edge of the Oranjezicht suburb.
  • Cape Town international airport is a 20-minute drive away.
  • Cape Town’s main train station is a 15-minute drive away.
  • The city centre is a 10-minute drive away.
  • The nearest beach is at Camps Bay, a 10-minute drive away.
  • Being this close to Table Mountain opens up many adrenaline-pumping adventures: hiking, biking, horse riding on the beach, paragliding. And snorkelling with seals, shark-cage diving, boat hire or vineyard tours can be arranged.
