Location
Incredible location, Camps Bay beachfront is so close, less than a 200m stroll from the front door down a palm lined walkway. Despite being so close to the buzz, the cottage suffers no noise due to its secluded panhandle/cul-de-sac location off a quiet residential road. Just across from the entrance gate are the local tennis courts and a playground. Set in its own private lush shady garden surrounded by views of the Twelve Apostles and Lions Head mountains, it really does feel as though you've entered a haven.
