The AvenuesSouth Africa, Cape Town

Architecturally modernist in style yet cocooned by trees, it is a completely private haven, with sparkling ocean views framed by uncluttered, big volume spaces gallery style cubes that offer a cool retreat from the summer heat.

The Avenues offers eight large ensuite rooms located in a three story wing that juts perpendicularly from the living block in layers that suggest you are cantilevered off the plot. The villa comes with an onsite housekeeper who will be as discreet or present as you desire. Off street parking for 8 vehicles, or a couple of vans with or without drivers can be arranged. Private wine tastings alongside lunch, on request.
