Overview of the house
The space
Its gentle sound can be heard from the living area and third bedroom, creating a calm and distinctive atmosphere.
Although the villa feels tucked away, it is just a five‑minute walk to the beach, making it easy to enjoy both the privacy of the garden and the nearby coastline.
The outdoor area offers a comfortable and refined space to relax, with a wooden deck, swimming pool, sun loungers, and a 10‑seater dining table surrounded by greenery. An outdoor shower provides a refreshing touch after a swim or a day at the beach.
Inside, the living spaces are designed with understated luxury in mind. The lounge includes soft furnishings, a decorative fireplace, and large windows that frame views of the trees and flowing water. The open‑plan kitchen and dining area feel bright and welcoming, with a generous dining table, a second fireplace, and a fully equipped kitchen with scullery.
Upstairs, the four bedrooms offer quiet, comfortable spaces for rest. The master suite includes a king‑size XL bed, sea‑view balcony, and an en‑suite bathroom with a bath overlooking the treetops. The second bedroom opens to the front deck and includes a king‑size XL bed and workspace. The third bedroom is positioned close to the river, where the sound of the water enhances its peaceful feel. The fourth bedroom includes a king‑size XL bed and its own en‑suite bathroom.
With air‑conditioning throughout, advanced security, a double garage, and additional parking, Villa River 42 combines privacy, comfort, and natural surroundings in one of Cape Town’s most desirable locations. It’s an easy, serene retreat with a subtle sense of luxury.
