About this villa rental

Nestled in Camps Bay, this attractive villa for $332 per night is a fantastic option for your next break. Sun Lion Villa, with its original and inspired architecture, is a house built to maximise the appreciation of the landscape that surrounds it. Viewed from the terrace, a sweeping panorama encompasses the Atlantic Ocean, Table Mountain, Lions Head and the Twelve Apostles. Built on an incline, the deck, swimming pool and garden overlook the coastline and setting sun. In keeping with the style of the rest of the house, the swimming pool has no square edges or corners, and blends into the surrounding shape of the private garden and lawn. A perimeter wall insures both pool and garden are protected from the gazes of neighbours and passers-by, allowing the guest total privacy. it is extremely rare to find good-sized, detached properties for rent with so few bedrooms, because the average house in Camps Bay has 4 or 5 bedrooms, making it prohibitively expensive for smaller numbers of occupants to find somewhere if they desire the privacy of an entire property to themselves. Information for golfers: The following nine golf courses are within a half hour drive from Sun Lion Villa: Bellville, Clovelly, Metropolitan, Milnerton, Mowbray, Rondebosch, Royal Cape, Steenberg and Westlake. A further nine clubs are reachable within the hour: Atlantic Beach, Boschenmeer, Erinvale, Pearl Valley, Somerset West, Spier, Stellenbosch and Strand. There are four more golf courses within the Western Cape Province; Arabella, Hermanus, Langebaan and Worcester, but those can only realistically be enjoyed as part of an entire day trip outing. Some recommended outings: Cape Point Nature Reserve, Table Mountain cable car (only 4 kms away) and the famous Stellenbosch and Paarl wine routes.

We had a great time. Pity about all the load shedding, as overseas visitors do not understand at the price range that there is no solar at least for fridge and a few lights.

This is a nice space with an up-to-date kitchen and a large common area in a safe location, with an amazing view. The property manager is great and quickly addressed any issues we had. There are 52 steps from the street to the front door, so this property is not for those with mobility problems. There are a few items in need of repair: a number of lightbulbs were out, 2 of the 3 lanterns (for use during load-shedding) did not work, a toilet and a showerhead both leaked). We prefer our privacy and did not mention these to the manager. Also, there is no dryer as mentioned in the list of amenities....our clothes dried pretty quickly outside, but it requires some planning and nice weather. We still recommend the villa...it just needs some maintenance.

This was a great property, the views were amazing and the location was fabulous. The pool area was beautiful and very relaxing. The neighborhood was safe and quiet. I agree with a former review that one bedroom clearly outshines the other, the "king" bedroom can get a bit stuffy, especially when load shedding cuts power during the night. It also was unfortunate that you have to close all windows and doors at night so no ocean breezes to lull you to sleep. Also, with steep stairs and open railings, the house isn't suited to anyone with mobility issues or young children. Some linens and chairs are showing some wear as well, but for the price in this location, you can't really ask for a better house.

We enjoyed our stay. The view was beautiful and we had no problem grabbing Uber to get to the sights.

Good location with stunning views. The stay should have been the icing on a good vacation. However the premises were only superficially cleaned. We had to wash the sheets, pillow cases and pillow covers in the one room because they were so discolored and smelled. The shower head in one of the showers fell off; the toaster was filthy, the dishwasher filter was greasy and had bits of food still in it. The pool was dirty. The BBQ was dirty . We had to ask for all these to be cleaned. We never did get to use the pool during our stay. What a shame that poor maintenance and bad housekeeping ruined our stay. We almost moved out the evening we arrived. I cannot recommend this rental.

We came to Cape Town to spend a month away from the US during COVID. And Sun Lion Villa was absolutely the perfect place. The house is in a great location and Anthony is so easy to work with. In fact, we extended our stay by a couple of weeks and Anthony was so gracious. The house also has a housekeeper and gardener, Clara and Shadrock, who were incredibly helpful. Being that we are not from South Africa, there were many things we did not know how to do, and they were always there to provide advice and a helping hand. We're sorry we had to leave, but we will be back. Thank you!!

Camps Bay is a quiet area yet easy enough to Uber around. Beautiful view of the ocean and Table Mountain.
