New luxe development: The Beach House

Every single unit is ocean-facing, apartments start from R2.95mil

Last updated: Tuesday, 7 November 2023 

Where can you still get an apartment right on the beach in Cape Town?

These ocean-facing apartments will look over surrounding mountain landscapes, sand dunes dotted with fynbos, the Atlantic Ocean and Chapman’s Peak; plus no neighbours (ever).

Pre-register (it’s free) before launch day on 15 November 2023 to shortlist your apartment. Prices start from R2.95 million.

JUST 18 BESPOKE APARTMENTS 

The Beach House Hout Bay is a new boutique development with only 18 luxe apartments, set to be completed in 2024. 

Designed by award-winning Bomax Architects, the exteriors are a mix of light wood and chic white that blend in seamlessly with the surrounding sand dunes and fynbos bush. 

And it’s because of these dunes that buyers won’t have to worry about future neighbours blocking the view – the surrounding nature areas are protected and no new developments may be built on them.

SEASIDE POOL, BACKUP POWER & MORE  

There’ll be one bedrooms (from R2.95 million), garden apartments (R3.25 million) and penthouses (R6.85 million) available, and every single unit will be ocean-facing, with expansive views of the surrounding mountains, fynbos greenery and the endless ocean horizon.

Buyers will feel totally at ease thanks to 24/7 security with access control, solar and backup power and even a backup water supply. Other perks of The Beach House include in-house laundry, designated parking bay and even a tea garden. 

A seaside pool will stretch along the front of the property, creating a true seaside living experience.

CLOSE TO BEACH & BUSTLING FOODIE SCENES  

Hout Bay’s restaurant and nightlife scene is just a short walk or drive away from The Beach House. For an elevated night out, you’re spoiled for choice: Cheyne's, La Colombe, Chef’s Warehouse at Tintswalo and the Chapman’s Peak Hotel to name a few.

The Hout Bay Harbour Market is close by for a more casual outing with live music, food stalls and goods from local businesses (the night markets are especially popular). 

And of course, you can’t speak about Hout Bay without speaking about Deus Café – one of the trendiest bars in this beachside suburb with live music and iconic Deus Ex Machina merch. 

Hout Bay beach is also on your doorstep (literally) for early swims, walks and runs on the beach, sunset surfs and more.

INSTANT INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY  

Thanks to its beachside location, the potential for high occupancy rates in short-term rentals is really high. This makes an apartment at The Beach House a great investment opportunity, especially since short-term rentals are handled through Totalstay. 

Bespoke furniture packs are available too, meaning that a ready-to-rent property will be possible soon after building completion. Plus, there are no transfer duties and only a 10% deposit is required. 

Buyers will benefit from Section 13sex of the Income Tax Act, which allows any taxpayer that owns five or more new residential rental units to claim up to 55% of the purchase price as a tax deduction.
