Dolphin Cottage, Camps Bay

Self Catering | Camps Bay Cape Town 8005

Overview

This charming five bedroom beachside cottage on Glen Beach has all the attractions of a secluded beach setting, with the modern day comforts of elegant living, with each floor enjoying a very distinctive feel.

This very private home occupies a 1,000sqm site that is completely concealed from its neighbours by verdant tropical foliage. Dolphin Cottage is perfectly situated only steps from the most discreet and private sand beach in Cape Town and adjacent to the much larger and popular Camps Bay beach and restaurants. This deceptively spacious villa is in the most popular part of Cape Town and yet completely private and hidden from the outside world, such that even locals who know the area have trouble finding it.
Completely remodeled in late 2010, the cottage exudes an atmosphere of elegant repose with light clapboard colonial exteriors and restful invitingly warm interiors of intricate design and polished finishes of mahogany and other exotic woods.

Bedrooms and Bathroom:
All bedrooms and bathrooms are individually fitted, each one being completely unique to the other.

FIRST FLOOR
The first floor is dedicated solely to the spacious master bedroom suite with an intricate wooden ceiling of interwoven trusses redolent of maritime design. A central wardrobe partition separates the bedroom suite from the very private ensuite lounge. There is a wide balcony to the front facilitating expansive sea views and views of Table Mountain and the Twelve Apostils mountain range, while two further balconies lead off on both sides. To one side the balcony looks through the trees to the pool and back garden and enjoys views of Lions Head while on the other side a spacious private sun deck beckons. Offset, to the rear is a comfortable open study with fax and broadband internet connectivity.
The spacious 1st floor ensuite bathroom has a walk-in double shower, elongated oval freestanding bath and onyx topped washbasin cabinets, with magnificent mountain views on one side and sea views on the other. Brass chandeliers adorn the ceilings, while sumptuously upholstered furniture and dark stained wooden floors lend a decadent touch. The seafaring feel is underscored by sea facing portholes in the separate shower room.
GROUND FLOOR
The double ensuite bedroom on the ground floor is also very private with double doors leading onto the spacious front deck and enjoys a classic frontal sea view through the palms trees, with views into the tropical jungle on the side.

The ground floor bathroom has an extra large bathtub, mahogany furnishings, thick pile carpets and classic Victorian fittings that compliment the tropical jungle radiating through the large sash windows. This bathroom also benefits from an outdoor shower hidden in the trees on the front deck.

LOWER GROUND FLOOR
On the lower ground floor, a double ensuite bedroom looks onto a waterfall, with two single bedrooms looking into the garden and sharing a bathroom. The two lower ground bathrooms have a clean modern feel utilising limestone, travertine and caesar stone.
