Sun & Sea family villa

The Villa is a cozy spot up the slopes of Signal hill, a part of Table Mountain National Park right in the middle of Atlantic Seaboard in downtown Cape Town.

It's at Ocean View Drive which, as the name suggests, is all about views of the Atlantic, only interrupted by Robben Island in the distance. Even so, its smack bang in town, a 10 minute walk to all the Green Point shops and restaurants and a 5-10 minute drive to V&A Waterfront or to the stunning white beaches at Camps Bay.

This villa has 5 bed rooms and 5 bathrooms (out of which three en-suite) and two additional people can sleep on floor mattresses in the lounge areas. The villa has two sitting areas - one with a little swing next to a real fireplace and another around the TV.

Our favorite part is the area outside which has a swimming pool, a sun deck, patio and a little garden. There are fabulous views of the ocean. There is one dedicated, secured parking area, or alternatively there is plenty of on-street parking.
