75 Clifton

75 Clifton is the kind of beach house most visitors to Cape Town only glimpse from the sand. Tucked into the slope above Clifton 4th Beach, one of the city's most celebrated stretches of white sand, it offers rare privacy just moments from the water.

Inside, floor-to-ceiling glass frames the Atlantic from almost every room. The open-plan living, dining and kitchen space flows onto a glass-walled deck that seems suspended above the beach, while a beachside terrace with a braai and a long dining table is made for unhurried lunches and sunset suppers. The interiors pair relaxed coastal ease with African-inspired design and contemporary works by Cape Town artists, and underfloor heating keeps the house cosy in the cooler months.

Three en-suite bedrooms, each with ocean views and access to a terrace, sleep six guests, making this an ideal hideaway for a couple, a small family or close friends. The house manager can arrange surf lessons, yoga or a private chef, and a garage takes care of parking, which is rare in Clifton.

The restaurants of Camps Bay are a short drive away, and the city centre, the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain are all within easy reach.
