The Space
Our Camps Bay villa, BonAzure, is set on the lower slops of Table Mountain, overlooking the sea. This 5-bedroomed home, accommodating a maximum of 10 adults, is spacious and comfortable with everything you need for a family holiday, or a holiday with a group of friends in beautiful Camps Bay. It is also suitable for those wanting a peaceful work from home space whilst enjoying splendid sea and mountain views, and the nearby beach, restaurants and shops.
After climbing several steps, you enter the main villa into a light and airy open plan kitchen, dining and lounge area. The kitchen contains a washing machine, dryer and dishwasher. There is an electric hob and oven, an air fryer and micro wave as well as ample eating and cooking equipment. The dining room has an eight seater table and chairs. A few steps lead down from the dining area to the main lounge, with comfy couches and a smart TV with Netflix access. Doors open out onto a large patio with eating (8 seater table) and cooking facilities (gas BBQ). You will also find on this floor a large bedroom, with ample cupboards and a small desk, leading onto the patio. A second bedroom contains two single beds. There is one full bathroom (shower and bath tub) and a guest loo(half bathroom).
The upper floor has two well-designed bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms containing bathtubs, showers and heated towel rails. The main bedroom has a smart TV, comfy chairs, and a private balcony-an ideal place for sunset watching or having breakfast for two. The second bedroom also contains a desk. There is an additional lounge, which could be used flexibly, as a work space, children's games room or even as an extra sleeping space (mattress can be provided). It has a smart TV with Netflix available. This room leads onto a balcony with amazing mountain and sea views. Perfect for sunset viewing!
Behind the house and up some more steps, you will find a separate cottage. This houses the fifth bedroom with queen bed, an en-suite bathroom, small lounge and kitchen equipped for two. It is suitable for one or two adults.
