Cape Town Area Villas/Houses - Cape Town Area Villas/Houses

The famous granite face of Table Mountain forms a backdrop to this historic area which overlooks the city of Cape Town and harbour far below. The Cape Town City Amphitheatre, or City Bowl, consists of four main areas:

Vredehoek and Gardens is a densely populated maze of small Art Deco apartment blocks or cottages in narrow streets, and has a large student population;

Oranjezicht is characterised by wide tree-lined avenues with elegant Victorian and Edwardian homes set in terraced gardens;

Higgovale has a mixture of prestigious modern and historic homes, hidden away in winding narrow streets with an abundance of lush vegetation, high up on the slopes of Table Mountain;

Tamboerskloof is located on the slopes of Signal Hill with wonderful views back towards Table Mountain, and has both gracious Victorian villas with original details and ultra-modern homes in a private mountainside estate.

The area has a sophisticated, cosmopolitan population, with pavement cafes and delicatessens, trendy restaurants and great décor shops nearby. It is less than a 10-minute drive to the famous Camps Bay and Clifton beaches, and about the same to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront and Cape Town city centre. This development, deservedly the most popular tourist destination in South Africa, evokes images of the early activities of the harbour, and marries the ultra-modern with the historic. Much of its charm lies in the fact that a fully operational harbour and yacht basin is set in the midst of a sophisticated entertainment venue with pubs, restaurants, speciality shops, craft markets, theatres and movies.

This wonderful example of a Cape Town villa from the "Arts and Crafts" era sits serenely in a leafy setting. With the sandstone face of Table Mountain forming a backdrop, and the city of Cape Town laid out below, the views are quite magnificent.

Cosmos Villa is named for the indigenous flowers that bloom around this well-loved home. Set in a lush town garden, the villa has been recently renovated whilst retaining its original features. The exterior has been handpainted by an Italian artist while the interiors feature polished timber floors, spacious rooms, designer bathrooms and light, airy living spaces.

The wonderful entertainment areas all lead out to either the wooden deck and charcoal pool, or the sunny front patio with magnificent mountain views. The cushioned "opium den" alongside the pool is the perfect spot for relaxed summertime dining.
