The villa rises from a steep hill that descends towards the famous sight of pristine beaches of Clifton and the Twelve Apostles beyond. Villa Hoerikwaggo is one of the most coveted properties in Cape Town, but also in South Africa. Carefully composed of four cascading lower floors offering compelling glimpses of two other towering levels, and is available to book through The Luxury Rental.

The lower levels house six generous bedrooms, three of which can be connected to form a family suite. On the following floors, there is a double height entertainment area with spa, games room and cinema. The main living room is at the top of the building with the most beautiful view.

The glazed lines between the interior and the exterior fade to blur the boundaries in a continuous and transparent space. All connected to a generous garden directly overlooking the swimming pool which juts out onto the sea and Table Mountain National Park.

The journey through space and light that follows is clearly inspired by the modernist movement. The design of the bar whose shape slides dramatically out of the house, floating above the swimming pool.

From the fully livable Porky Hefer’s ‘Blowfish’ that floats in the double-volume entertainment space, to African masks that fit into the dark kitchen walls, the collection is always carefully staged to bring life to the sumptuous architecture.
