Space:

Designed to offer guests an intimate sanctuary with unobstructed views across the sea, this five-star apartment leaves no stone unturned when it comes to luxury living.

A study of modern sophistication and style, the multi-level design provides all rooms with unfettered views of the ocean, while glass sliding doors and floor-to-ceiling windows create a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

Accessed by a lift from the undercover parking garage, the apartment opens onto a beautiful double-volume living space which is stylishly furnished with designer décor and beautiful artworks. The open-plan living area features a comfortable lounge with a gas fireplace, a large Smart TV, and a dining area with a 10-seater dining table. Glass folding sliding doors allow the lounge to open out onto a large, shaded terrace with a swimming pool, an outdoor lounge, sun loungers, and magnificent 180-degree ocean views. The terrace wraps around the side of the building where there is an outdoor bar area with a gas barbecue and all the facilities for al fresco dining.

The living area flows seamlessly into a modern, open-plan kitchen with high-end Miele appliances, including a state-of-the-art coffee machine, a convection oven, microwave, dishwasher, and a washer-dryer. There is ample cupboard space in the kitchen and a breakfast bar with four stools is ideal for casual entertaining. A private guest toilet is situated just off the living area.

The stylish décor and cool grey tones of the first level flow into the second level of the apartment, which features three bedrooms. These include a beautiful master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and two guest bedrooms, one with an en-suite bathroom and the other with a private dedicated bathroom.

The master bedroom is a study of understated luxury with a king-size bed and an exquisite open bathroom with an oval soaking bath, a spacious rain shower, and double vanities. A walk-in wardrobe provides plenty of storage space, and the room flows out onto a private balcony with outdoor seating and breathtaking ocean and mountain views. The master bedroom has a ceiling fan and air conditioning as well as a large flat-screen Smart TV.

The second bedroom has a queen-size bed, built-in wardrobes, a large wall-mounted flat-screen Smart TV, partial ocean and mountain views, and an en-suite bathroom with a large rain shower and a single vanity. This airy and bright room has access to a private side patio with a small table and chairs, and stairs leading down to the outdoor bar area on the first level.

The third bedroom features a king-size bed that can be converted into two single beds, built-in wardrobes, and a private bathroom with a spacious rain shower and a single vanity. This bedroom has air conditioning, a Smart TV, and partial ocean views.

The apartment is fully secure with on-site security and private tag access. It has two dedicated off-street parking bays in a closed garage beneath the building, and direct access to the apartment is via a lift that can only be utilised with a tag.

Barley Beach is perfectly positioned to enjoy Cape Town’s cosmopolitan lifestyle. There is a semi-private beach directly across the road and the famous Beta Beach is a short walk away. The palm-lined Camps Bay Beach is a short walk away and the four blue-flag beaches of Clifton are a short drive away, alongside several excellent restaurants, cafés, and beach bars.

Notes:

Please take note of the following before booking:

Rates for 2026/27 have been significantly reduced due to ongoing construction next door to the property. Construction noise levels may vary from extremely noisy to completely quiet, and we cannot provide any guarantees regarding this. By accepting the rate and proceeding with your booking, please be aware that no further compensation will be offered upon arrival or during your stay due to the construction. – September 2024

Please note you will be required to complete a separate guest registration form and unique guest verification link (from Truvi) prior to arrival in order for us to facilitate your check-in.

Electricity:

South Africa has been experiencing periods of load shedding (unscheduled electricity disruptions) in the last few years. This means that electricity goes off for periods of two and a half hours or more at a time. We often do not know in advance when this will happen. Most of our owners, however, have taken a number of measures to ensure your greatest comfort during your stay. There is an app you can download in order to ensure you know what times it will take place and plan your day accordingly. Please search your app store for the following app: ESP – The Loadshedding App. We apologise for any inconvenience that this may cause. This is, unfortunately, out of our hands and governed by the South African electricity providers. Accordingly, neither the property manager nor the owner shall be liable for any refunds, compensation, or discounts as a result of services being unavailable due to load shedding.

Noise Control:

This property is situated in a quiet residential area and we need to adhere to strict noise control measures implemented by the body corporate and city council for this area. Therefore, by continuing with this booking, you agree that you understand and accept the following conditions:

• No parties of any kind are to be held at the property.
• No noise or music of any nature (audible to neighbours) is allowed between 9pm and 7am during the week and between 10pm and 7am at weekends.
• No hooting or shouting in the street at any time, day or night.
• Should you have a guest or two visiting, please make them aware that parking is very limited and they must not park in front of another person's garage or driveway.

Travel Insurance:

It is imperative that you have procured adequate and fully comprehensive travel insurance including cancellation cover and cover for theft of personal items.

Groups:

No groups of all solo travellers unless by request. No bachelor or bachelorette party groups are permitted.

Children:

Although we accept children at this property, there may still be child safety issues and concerns for guests with younger children, such as balconies, split-level terraces, and unfenced pools. Guests staying with children do so at their own risk and are urged to take all due care and attention during their stay.

Monthly Stays:

Please note that for monthly discounts, electricity will be for your own account.

• No daily housekeeping will be included within the rate but can be paid for additionally on request and when available. The property manager requires housekeeping to happen at least once a week for every week of your stay.
