Seamless travel – villa duos for the discerning 

Private villas offer a supremely personal way to travel. They give you space, peace and privacy. The freedom to spend your days without any restraints, exactly as you choose, with just the people close to you. It’s the ultimate way to reconnect and relax as you would at home, but surrounded by the luxury of five-star service and in out-of-this-world settings.  

We pride ourselves on honing in on what makes each guest unique as a traveller – getting to know their tastes and leisure style. And then pairing each person, or group with the perfect properties and designing the ideal itinerary based on these desires and interests. 

Paired to perfection 

It made perfect sense for us to extend this concept of personal curation even further. A big part of our business is oriented towards private-use properties. And we have a diverse and impressive portfolio of beautiful spaces to suit a wide variety of guest. These unique, beautiful homes – from seaside escapes to quiet countryside boltholes and urban oases – each has its own charm and appeal. 

So, in response to the growing popularity of exclusive-use properties and private homes, and in the spirit of once-in-a-lifetime experiences, we’ve created a unique offering for those of our guests whose surroundings are particularly important to them. By creating villa combos – idyllic pairings that will appeal to likeminded travellers – we’re offering a way to travel so that the rhythm doesn’t get interrupted as you move from one place to the next. These property combinations create a seamless travel experience as you transition from setting to setting. Let us introduce you to our debut pairing…

Iron Man House – an urban architectural wonder 

Located on the iconic slopes of Lion’s Head, this mid-century-modernist inspired marvel marries cutting-edge architectural wow factor with the magnificent natural beauty of its setting. Astounding 280-degree views of the Atlantic Seaboard make this four-level property unmatched as far as views go. 

The open-plan living area offers uninterrupted ocean views and flows seamlessly to expansive outdoor spaces while luxurious bedroom suites offer panoramic views and peaceful retreat. This remarkable property, by Peerutin Karol architects will appeal to the discerning design lovers, and offers the epitome of luxury living in one of Cape Town’s most coveted areas. Perfect for social gatherings, it features numerous entertainment spaces (including a pool pavilion with a sunken bar and barbecue areas), as well as areas to relax, such as a home spa and cinema. 

An artful safari at Cheetah Plains

Move on from contemporary coastal style to modern safari elegance. Positioned in the north-east corner of the Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, Cheetah Plains’ setting offers the pristine beauty of the bush and world-leading game sightings combined with world-class architecture and interiors. 

Suited to both family groups and friends, Cheetah Plains’ design pays homage to the setting, but is unlike any other safari lodge you may have been to. Contemporary architecture and a superb collection of African design and art create an environment with all the creature comforts of a beautiful home, surrounded by the majestic beauty of nature. 

Made up of three villas (sleeping up to eight guests each) Cheetah Plains has been designed with both socialising and quiet time in mind. Each villa has a shared living space (a formal and entertainment lounge, living and dining room areas, swimming pool deck, outdoor boma for fireside dining, fine wine gallery and fully equipped chef’s kitchen) complemented by private guest accommodation with a lounge and fireplace, walk-in dressing room and fully kitted-out en suite.

A full team caters to your every need – from a host, butler and culinary team, to a spa therapist as well as a field guide and tracker.
