Castle Peak is a luxury 6-bedroom holiday villa positioned on Oudekraal Road in Camps Bay, one of the suburb’s most coveted addresses. The architecture reflects contemporary luxury—clean lines, generous glazing, multiple levels connected by a modern lift, and an emphasis on light and view. The property’s defining feature is its dual-apartment structure. Rather than a traditional single villa, Castle Peak is architecturally and functionally two complete homes stacked vertically, each with full independent amenities—a design innovation rare in holiday villa rentals.
This design offers extraordinary flexibility: groups of six can occupy one apartment and enjoy complete privacy from the other; families with adult children can split across both units while remaining close; or both apartments open into each other via the lift, creating a seamless six-bedroom villa for larger gatherings. Each apartment retains its own kitchen, living area, dining space, and fireplace, so guests can entertain independently or gather together.
Security and practical amenities match the luxury positioning. Exterior cameras monitor entrances, driveway, stairs, property sides, and garage passage. The property has a noise monitoring device, as required in this peaceful residential area. Housekeeping operates Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays), with additional housekeeping available on request. Two garage parking bays plus driveway and on-street parking ensure ample vehicle accommodation.
Load-shedding backup covers essential systems: all lights, plugs, appliances, and notably the lift continue operating during power cuts. However, ovens, refrigerators, washing machines, tumble dryers, air conditioning, and blinds are not backed up—a practical consideration for extended outages, though in reality Cape Town’s rolling blackouts are typically managed within hours.
The Space
Upstairs Apartment
Upstairs Living Room: Open-plan, seating for six, with a gas fireplace as focal point and TV for entertainment. Ocean views dominate; direct access to the upstairs pool deck and garden extends the living space outdoors.
Upstairs Dining Room: Open-plan, dining for six, with ocean views and seamless connection to the pool deck and garden. The space feels expansive despite its intimate seating capacity.
Upstairs Kitchen: Modern and fully equipped with electric hob, oven, microwave, Nespresso, kettle, toaster, and dishwasher. Breakfast bar seating for three provides casual dining or food-prep viewing. Intercom and Sonos speakers are integrated; ocean views frame the workspace.

Bedroom 2 (Upstairs): King bed, air conditioning, seating for two, integrated Sonos speaker. Ocean views; pool deck access. En-suite with bath, shower, and single vanity—the most luxurious bedroom in this apartment.

Upstairs Pool Deck & Garden: Seating for five, gas BBQ for entertaining, a private heated swimming pool, and garden space. This is the upstairs apartment’s primary outdoor living zone.
Downstairs Apartment
Downstairs Living Room: Open-plan, seating for six, with a gas fireplace and TV. Ocean and mountain views; direct pool deck access. The room has a different character from its upstairs counterpart—slightly different proportions and sightlines create distinct environments.
Downstairs Dining Room: Open-plan, dining for eight (versus six upstairs), with ocean and mountain views. This is the villa’s primary entertaining space if both apartments are booked together. Pool deck and garden access. Note: when both apartments are booked, this room seats a maximum of 10 guests, so dining may occur across both apartments’ dining areas.
Downstairs Kitchen: Fully equipped with electric hob, oven, microwave, Nespresso, kettle, toaster, and dishwasher. Breakfast bar seating for three. Notably includes a telescope positioned to frame the ocean view—a whimsical luxury touch for stargazing or horizon-watching. Intercom and Sonos speakers integrated.
Bedroom 4 (Downstairs): King bed, TV, integrated speaker, air conditioning, desk, seating for one. Ocean views; garden access. En-suite with bath, shower, and single vanity. The walk-in closet includes a safe for valuables.
Bedroom 5 (Downstairs): King bed, TV, seating for two, console table, integrated speaker, air conditioning. Ocean views; pool deck access. En-suite with shower and single vanity.
Bedroom 6 (Downstairs): King bed, seating for one, integrated speaker, air conditioning. Pool deck access. En-suite with shower and single vanity.
Downstairs Pool Deck & Garden: Two sun loungers and lounge seating for five. Gas braai for entertaining. A separate private heated swimming pool. Garden space. This outdoor zone is more expansive than its upstairs counterpart.
Shared Amenities
Gym: Equipped with elliptical machine, stationary bicycle, free weights, and weight bar. A dedicated fitness space means guests can exercise independently without leaving the property.
Laundry: Washing machine and dryer available for guest use (though note these are not backed up during load-shedding).
Elevator/Lift: Connects both apartments, enabling seamless movement between levels when booked as a single six-bedroom home. This is a rare luxury feature in vacation rentals.
