17 Geneve - Upper

The largest of the three apartments, the top level of 17 Geneva's stylish decor and understated elegance is relaxing and easy on the eyes.

An antique-style desk in one corner allows die-hard workaholics an opportunity to do some work in relative privacy, even while on holiday. A moderate-sized lounge, furnished with a flat screen TV and DSTV, opens onto a partially covered balcony with a private sauna around the corner and a gorgeous view of the ocean and surrounding mountains. The apartment is close enough to the sea to scent brine upon the breeze, yet a screen of foliage affords a modicum of privacy and adds to the intimate ambience. Enjoy the sense of seclusion that this apartment's location and design imparts, even though it is situated in one of the most popular areas in Cape Town. It is also within convenient walking distance of the beach and a selection of trendy restaurants.

The private swimming pool is an ideal place to unwind after a hard day's sightseeing, and a heater is provided to warm chilly toes during the colder months. The cosy bedroom also has a view of the ocean and access to the balcony as well as the sauna, for intimate evenings spent with cocktail in hand amid the steam. An en-suite bathroom is designed to cater to the most discerning needs with its generous full-glass shower and built in cupboards.

The immaculate open-plan kitchen boasts stainless steel counter tops and grey, marble-style floor tiles, which give an ultra-modern air to the apartment, as well as the impression that one could eat off the floor, yet still not be too afraid to walk on it. The kitchen comes equipped with most of the essentials of home, including a modern cooker, fridge with freezer, washing machine and dishwasher.

On-street parking is available close to the apartment gate, where vehicles will be safe in this prestigious area of Camps Bay.
