Bakoven Beach, Cape Town
Cape Town, the “Mother City”, is the oldest city in South Africa and has a cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years and Bakoven is an exclusive beach community, right next to the vacation hot spot of Camps Bay and its dramatic coastline of pristine white beaches, rocky cliffs, boulders, and icy waters.
Bakoven, in particular, faces Lion’s Head, which appears like a shrine across the Atlantic Waters from the beach house. Yet when at the beach house, it feels like a private beach resort setting. It is a place where people assemble at night to watch the final rays of the sun and socialize while watching the best sunset in town.
The big picture is a dramatic seascape perched between 2 oceans, the warm Indian and the cold Atlantic. Few cities, like Cape Town, have a national park as its heart and Bakoven is a dramatic part of that jaw-dropping landscape. Although quiet, exclusive, serene and beautiful, it is just a half km away on foot to Camps Bay, a hub of fine dining, drinking and entertainment. There is very easy access to all the coastal amenities, tourist routes, wine farms, Table Mountain, the Red Bus, taxi cabs, Uber, scooters, and rental vehicles and bicycles. The unique topography of the region makes it easy to orientate oneself too.
