Home gym, ice bath, wood-fired hot tub and swimming pool: this Camps Bay house is built for a group that likes to train as well as relax, and reviewers say the house matched its photos. It has five bedrooms, each with an en suite and a king bed, for up to 10 guests. The main bedroom has a king XL bed and a private study with its own toilet, and there are two guest toilets.
The gym has a power rack, bench, treadmill, rowing machine, training bike and free weights. After a session there is the ice bath, then the hot tub or the pool. Give the wood-fired tub a few hours’ notice.
For downtime there are several lounges, a reading nook with a library of books, a bar area, a home theatre with a projector (sign in with your own streaming accounts), a games area with pool and table-tennis tables, and two indoor fireplaces. The modern kitchen has a scullery, dishwasher and bean-to-cup coffee machine, and there is an indoor grill (gas and wood or charcoal) as well as an outdoor lounge, dining area and braai (barbecue).
Wi-Fi is 300 Mbps, the bedrooms have air conditioning, and the house runs on solar power with backup for outages. Housekeeping is included Monday to Saturday. Security includes an automated front door with intercom, an alarm and 24-hour armed response, and the driveway takes 3 cars. The house is on several levels, with stairs throughout.
The views take in Lion’s Head and the Atlantic, Camps Bay Beach is under 1 km away (about 3 minutes by car), and our caretaker family live on site and are on hand to help.
