About this property
Modern Clifton Apartment - Number 5101
Enter Number 5101 through the substantial white pivot door and arrest your senses with the breath taking ocean view that beckons beyond. Stack back the glass doors leading onto the generous balcony and answer the call to kick back and relax in this spacious, stylish seaside apartment.
With artful bursts of saturated colour like jewels in a crown, the enormous unframed underwater artworks boldly set the scene. There is a strong nautical reference throughout the interior. Porthole mirrors mimicking the nautical cleverly stud the walls. Timber, tones and textures interplay with alluring ebb and flow.
Glass, wicker, smoothed white stone and bleached wood surfaces combine to create a harmony that dictates the pace of this slow lifestyle. A perfect place to let the outside in under glorious big blue African sunny skies, or nestle in and watch the Cape Storms roll in over the Atlantic Ocean.
Take a leisurely amble down the stairs to enjoy long lazy days soaking up the sun on any of the famous five pearly white beaches Clifton has on offer.
With ample accommodation for four guests, Number 5101 culminates happily into a luxurious home-from-home.
Safely nestled into the foothill of Cape Town’s spectacular Lions Head, a mere meander from Clifton’s five world-famous Blue Flag beaches, Number 5101 is what dreamy beach holiday memories are made of. Clifton is famously the most sought-after real estate in Africa. Tucked between Bantry Bay and Camps Bay, the area is relatively wind-free.
Five pristine pearly white beaches on your doorstep and a stone’s throw away from all that Cape Town has to offer. Glittering nightlife, world-class restaurants, breathtaking nature and maximum adventure for the thrill seeker. This truly is a paradise playground for the most demanding global traveller.
Cape Town’s sunset strip, settle onto the balcony – kick back, relax and watch the barefoot, bikini-bronzed world go by.
This truly is a paradise playground for the most demanding global traveller. Clifton is famously the most sought-after real estate in Africa.
Together with its immaculate white sands and glistening water, their bronzing bodies and designer sunglasses grace Clifton’s 4th beach with sufficient glamour and eco-savvy to deserve not only the ‘see and be seen’ status it has acquired but its blue flag status as well.
The beaches at Clifton are divided into four distinct coves by stretches of granite boulders and, whilst they may not be very imaginatively named, 1st, 2nd 3rd and 4th, their beauty makes names rather superfluous. Each of the beaches is reached by a flight of stairs down from the road on which parking can sometimes be extremely difficult. This doesn’t hinder the crowds during peak season or in the evening when throngs of people head down to Clifton to partake in traditional sundowners in the presence of one of Cape Town’s legendary sunsets.
The four beaches of Clifton are well protected from the notorious south-easterly and, whilst there is the occasional wave, most simply lap at the shoreline. Staying here often has the added bonus of quiet evenings as the throngs tend to head off just up the road to Camps Bay’s many restaurants, clubs and bars as Clifton offers little in the way of restaurants and has no shops to speak of.
Uber is readily available and the My Citi bus stop is about 100 meters from the apartment.
All over Cape Town, you’ll find paid parking structures, free street parking, and in the City Bowl and a few other areas, such as Sea Point, paid street parking. There are no parking meters, so when you see the “pay and display” parking sign, look for the parking attendant – or most likely they’ll find you. Parking is currently under R5 per 15 minutes. In areas where street parking is free, expect to be approached by “car guards,” who ask for a tip in exchange for watching over your car.
Housekeeping included according to the duration of your stay. Please enquire with your host on confirmation.
