La Rive Penthouse

The interior is remarkably spacious, with an open-plan design flowing through the huge lounge and dining room, and out onto the terrace, which has an infinity pool and a sheltered entertainment deck. There’s also a separate study, plus a state-of-the art kitchen, with a private chef. Décor is an eclectic mix of art deco, chic contemporary furnishings, and a wonderful collection of local artwork and sculptures. There’s even a private elevator from the garage.

The penthouse has four sumptuous bedrooms: a master suite with a balcony facing the sea, and the remaining three with mountain or sea views. Each has an en-suite bathroom, with deep tubs and huge showers, and underfloor heating. The rooms differ slightly in design, and are beautifully decorated in subtle tones, with homely touches like comfortable armchairs and fresh flowers. All come with flat screen satellite TVs and air conditioning.

Cosmopolitan Cape Town has much to offer in the way of attractions, with plenty of options within an easy stroll of the penthouse. The lively V&A Waterfront, renowned for its world-class shopping and restaurants, is close by, and the colourful markets and trendy downtown scene are just a short drive away. Between sightseeing (don't miss the Winelands) and exploring, relax in absolute luxury while your personal chef and butler prepare a perfect poolside lunch or elegant dinner party.
