Overview

Welcome to River 42, a newly renovated, luxurious 4-bedroom retreat where modern sophistication meets natural tranquility. Tucked away at the edge of a lush, tree-filled glen, this rare gem offers a private oasis in the heart of Camps Bay. Surrounded by dense greenery and the soothing sound of a stream flowing gently through the yard and beneath the living area, River 42 feels like a tropical paradise—a serene escape that is truly unique in this vibrant urban suburb.

Step outside and immerse yourself in the enchanting garden. The expansive wooden deck features a sparkling swimming pool, four plush sun loungers, and an 8-seater dining table, perfect for alfresco meals amid the gentle rustle of trees. An outdoor shower adds to the tropical ambiance, offering a refreshing way to cool off. The property’s peaceful setting belies its convenient location, just a short 7-minute stroll from Beta Beach and a cozy local café—perfect for morning coffee or breakfast after a tranquil walk along the shore.

Inside, the serenity continues with a thoughtfully designed living area that exudes comfort and calm. Plush seating, a decorative fireplace, and a large-screen TV create a cozy space for relaxation, enhanced by the gentle murmur of the stream. Adjacent is the open-plan dining room and kitchen, where modern elegance shines. Floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the space in natural light, blending indoor and outdoor living. The 10-seater dining table, second fireplace, and fully equipped kitchen with a separate scullery ensure effortless entertaining and everyday convenience.

The upstairs bedrooms are private retreats of tranquility. The master suite offers a king-size bed, lounge seating, and a balcony with breathtaking sea views, while the en-suite bathroom, with its bath and shower positioned at a bay window overlooking the trees, invites luxurious indulgence. The second bedroom, with a queen-size bed and private desk, opens to the front deck with ocean vistas. The third bedroom offers a calming retreat near the stream, while the fourth bedroom, complete with a queen-size bed and en-suite bathroom, provides added privacy.

With state-of-the-art air conditioning, advanced security, a double garage, and off-street parking, River 42 is not just a home—it’s a rare sanctuary, offering the perfect blend of nature and luxury in one of Cape Town’s most sought-after neighborhoods.
