Golden Day

You'll have your pick of outdoor seating at this Cape Town villa, and rest easy knowing you'll have spectacular views of the iconic Table Mountain from wherever you choose to sit. Hanging chairs, sun loungers and an alfresco dining table appear alongside a private infinity pool and lush garden. Though everything will pale in comparison to the vistas outside, the interior puts up a good fight with African-inspired decor, luxurious touches and floor-to-ceiling windows that let in ample light - the steam room in the main bathroom is another nice touch. Hout Bay is full of quirky shops and cafes, and Llandudno Beach is only a short drive away.

Home truths:
*While all the bedrooms aren't photographed, expect the style and quality to be consistent with the rest of the home.
*The swimming pool isn't fenced. If you're bringing little ones, they'll need to be supervised at all times. Caution is also advised around the pool where there is a drop at the edge of the pool.
*We suggest hiring a car for ease – there's parking available here. It's worth noting that the driveway is very steep.
*As there are stairs to climb here, it might not be the best option for those with reduced mobility.
*Hen and stag parties are strictly not allowed at this home.
