It offers a much-needed haven from the hectic activity of exploration and indulgence. Use it to restore mind and body before venturing out again to discover the abundance of excellent nightlife in the form of clubs and restaurants to be found in Camps Bay. The lower and second level apartments share a road entrance for easy access to the nearby beach and a plethora of boutiques and shops. Relax on the balcony, where the sparkling ocean can be glimpsed through the screen of trees that ensures privacy while still allowing the glory of the surrounding mountains to shine through.

The balcony, accessible from the lounge, has an outside table at which to sip sundowners while admiring the Cape’s awe-inspiring sunsets and enjoying its seductively fresh, salty air with a meal. The comfortable single bedroom is practically furnished with a double bed and wooden bedside tables complete with reading lamps, and the en-suite bathroom has freshly-laundered towels, built-in cupboards and a generous shower.

Enjoy the relaxing ambience of the cosy lounge in front of the heater on cooler nights, where a television provides DSTV viewing for romantic or companionable evenings. In the modest open plan kitchen, ideal for entertaining, make use of the host of appliances provided for cooking up those holiday feasts, which include a standard toaster, kettle and washing machine - a wonderful convenience for those with small children - a cooker, fridge and freezer combo as well as a dishwasher to take care of those unwelcome domestic chores with which no holiday-maker should have to deal.

This is an ideal situation for a respite from a hectic modern life, for tranquillity is to be found in abundance here.
