VILLA WHITE RABBIT
White Rabbit is located in sought-after Bantry Bay, which is protected from the summer South-Easter wind by the slopes of Lion’s Head. Less windy and touristy than Camps Bay and just as central as Sea Point, the villa is a 5-minute drive to the beach and the city centre. Recently renovated in June 2019, the four bedrooms, four bathrooms, two entertainment areas, and a sauna are spaciously spread over two levels. The top level of the villa is reserved for the property owner’s private use and is not accessible to guests. Outside, a generous secluded garden offers outdoor entertainment areas and a large swimming pool. The peaceful setting has dramatic views over the scenic coastline and Robben Island, making it perfect for a relaxing holiday getaway with friends and family.

Table Mountain
3.2 kms
No trip to Cape Town would be complete without taking in the stunning vistas at the top of this iconic mountain, now one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World.
Victoria & Alfred Waterfront
4.6 kms
From the sophisticated Zeitz MOCAA art museum and Silo Hotel to urban street performers and food markets, the waterfront caters to every taste.
Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden
8 kms
Kirstenbosch is home to indigenous flora, conservatories, sculptures, sunset concerts, and hiking trails in one of the most stunning settings imaginable.
The neighborhood
The villa is located in the cul-de-sac of Ocean View Drive, giving you direct access to a network of trails on the slopes of Lion’s Head. Clifton and Camps Bay beaches are a short drive by car.
It’s no surprise that the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is the most visited attraction in Cape Town. The working harbour offers over 350 retail outlets; over 80 eateries, restaurants and bars; a number of luxury hotels and spas; food and local handcraft markets, plus plenty of activities such as Robben Island, sunset cruises, and the Two Oceans aquarium.
Cape Town boasts many high-end restaurants in different locations from the city’s CBD, just 5km away, to more scenic outdoor locations dotted around the peninsula. For fine dining, we recommend La Colombe in Constantia or FYN in the city centre, both of which need to be booked in advance. The Chef’s Warehouse restaurants, such as Beau Constantia, Maison and Thali, offer excellent value meals served as sharing plates with “tapas for two”.
location
We recommend hiring a car to make the most of your scenic surroundings. Cape Town’s CBD is about a 5-minute drive and the V&A Waterfront is about 10 minutes.
The Clifton beaches are just around the corner – a 5-minute drive – while the glamorous Camps Bay strip with all its restaurants and bars is about 7 minutes by car.
Located in a quiet residential area, the villa is a 20-minute walk to the hustle and bustle of Sea Point with its shops, restaurants and seafront promenade. There is also a MyCiTi bus station near the house which is air-conditioned and affordable. Card passes can be purchased for R35 from MyCiTi station kiosks and local retailers.
Uber operates in Cape Town and surrounding areas with well-priced trips – around R40 to the city centre.
