Welcome To Seaside Haven, Bakoven Apartment, Cape Town Accommodation | Among the charming seaside bungalows of the exclusive Bakoven area is Seaside Haven, right on the water’s edge. There are few places in the world that can compare with this villa’s location and aspect.
Originally a fisherman’s cottage where lobster and abalone were collected from the rock pools in the early morning, today the beach in front of Seaside Haven is a protected area. However guests can still enjoy the fresh ocean air, beautiful sea views and gorgeous Cape Town sunsets.
The villa has undergone a transformation since its humble beginnings; the most recent renovation was completed in 2010 by world famous Turkish architect Ali Kemali and the interiors where created by revered interior designer, Yelda Bayakatar. However, the house is protected by the City Council meaning the foundation and exterior of the house have remained mostly unchanged.
Entering the villa one is struck by the breathtaking views of the ocean, and opening the stackable glass doors fills the house with the sounds and smells of the ocean.
The luxury open-plan kitchen overlooks the living room area, and then straight out to sea. A large dining room table seating 8 people is perfectly positioned below the exquisite chandeliers. The second bedroom and study with computer facilities are behind the living area.
The spectacular master bedroom on the lower level has a large bed next to a gas fireplace, and an open plan bathroom with an oval bath and enormous double shower. The stackable glass doors directly in front of the bed open onto the pool deck, metres away from the ocean.
The swimming pool and little garden are all that separate Seaside Haven from a little patch of beach and the Atlantic Ocean.
The shops, restaurants and bars, and famous beach of Camps Bay is a short distance down the road from Bakoven, and the beautiful beach at Llandudno is a short drive in the other direction. | | |
