Auburn Villa

Here discretion is the order of the day. Luxury is in balanced proportion, not scale; hidden, not on display. As the eye wanders over the particularly charming collection on Cliftons Third Beach, it inevitably comes to rest on Auburn Villa, perched just above the beach. Simply put, this Bali-style beach house is gorgeous. Watching its inhabitants relaxing on the sundeck, or disappearing into the cool timber interiors, it is hard not to feel a pang of envy. Unless of course you are simply admiring your own astute holiday decision: to hire the best-looking bungalow, on Cape Towns most beautiful beach.

This villa sleeps eight guests in four bedrooms. The master bedroom is located on the upper level and boasts amazing sea views from the bedroom and bathroom. The other three bedrooms are located on the lower level and are also all sea facing. Access to the beach can be obtained via both levels. The fifth bedroom is a separate entrance with a ensuite and shower.

The main lounge, located on the upper level, is open plan and leads onto a balcony. The dining room table seats six guests comfortably. There is a fully equipped kitchen and separate laundry room with washing machine and tumble dryer. A gas fireplace and under floor heating completes the picture.
