There is something to be said for city centre living, the proximity to an incredible assortment of restaurants, coffee shops and local markets is just perfect. The position alone made this penthouse appealing to me, although there was so much more and it was the thoughtful combination of everything that left me feeling extremely satisfied after spending the weekend in this stylish, comfortable and practical space which i believe would be enjoyable in both winter and summer.

You could never imagine the quality that would be presented when entering the building from street level.

Positioned on the 11th floor, it was a unique feeling to walk out the lift into the main living area on the middle level, where we were immediately welcomed by a sense of appreciation for the owners taste. What was initially an industrial space had been completely revamped to provide all the comforts we could have asked for. The main area finished beautifully with wooden floors, a fireplace and minimal furniture ensured the room felt spacious and comfortable.
I really enjoyed the kitchen, mostly because it had a Nespresso machine with a basket full of pods, this was an absolute treat.

The penthouse was filled with a variety of art and luxuries such as heaters in the bathrooms, loads of luxurious towels, the most incredible soft gowns, brass piping, a massive rain shower, stylish lampshades, dimmer lighting in every room and very cool Edison light bulbs.

There were three levels of living spaces. Down stairs we enjoyed the sun free lounge (man cave) with comfy couches, good sound system and a large LG television. The lounge flowed into the two bedrooms and main bathroom. Both rooms were spacious and comfy with great city views.
On the top level, a door at the top of the stairs opened onto a wooden deck over looking the city with a gas barbecue and large table. Turning around and looking up, we discovered another outdoor living area that turned this penthouse into something incredibly special. Imagine open city views with a view of lions head mountain combined with a hammock, massive couch and a wall for projecting movies onto. We spent the whole Saturday in the winter sun there.

Last but not least I would like to give massive appreciation to our incredible host Corina. She made sure that our every need was taken care of. The fire was lit when we arrived and she had paid attention to every comfort detail ensuring that we wanted for nothing.

The combination of host and living space was truly magical and i would highly recommend both to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Thank You!!!
