Ithaka – A Hidden Coastal Gem

Simon's Town, Cape Town, South Africa

Ithaka is a peaceful three-bedroom coastal home tucked away at the end of a quiet road in Simon’s Town, where the mountain slopes of Table Mountain National Park meet the shores of False Bay. With sweeping views across the water towards the Hottentots Holland Mountains, the property offers a wonderful sense of space, privacy and connection with nature.

All three bedrooms are located upstairs and open onto a shared sea-facing balcony, creating a beautiful place to begin the morning or watch the changing colours across False Bay at the end of the day. A second, mountain-facing veranda provides a quieter, sheltered outdoor space surrounded by the natural landscape.

Downstairs, the home has a relaxed and welcoming character, with comfortable living and dining areas and a farm-style kitchen designed for easy family stays. A large fireplace in the kitchen adds warmth and atmosphere during Cape Town’s cooler months.

Outside, guests can enjoy a private swimming pool and spacious garden dotted with olive and mature trees, with plenty of room to relax and enjoy the surroundings.

Close to Boulders Beach and within easy reach of Cape Point, Ithaka is particularly well suited to families or friends looking for a tranquil base from which to explore the southern Cape Peninsula.

Description

Set at the end of a quiet Simon’s Town road, Ithaka enjoys a wonderfully secluded position between mountain and sea, with uninterrupted views across False Bay towards the Hottentots Holland Mountains.

The home’s three bedrooms are situated upstairs, each opening onto a shared balcony overlooking the ocean. The main bedroom has a spacious en-suite bathroom with a bath, shower and double basin, while the remaining two bedrooms share a family bathroom with both bath and shower.

On the opposite side of the upper floor, a generous mountain-facing veranda offers another peaceful place to relax, sheltered from the more exposed sea-facing side and looking towards the surrounding natural landscape.

Downstairs, the living spaces have a warm, informal feel, with a comfortable lounge, dining area and farm-style kitchen. The kitchen is well equipped for longer self-catering stays and includes a scullery, double-door fridge/freezer, dishwasher and electric stove and oven. A large fireplace makes the home especially inviting during winter.

The garden provides plenty of space for outdoor living, with a swimming pool, olive trees and mature trees offering shade. The elevated position provides expansive ocean views and a peaceful setting close to some of the Cape Peninsula’s best-known coastal attractions
