About this property

Luxurious villa with spectacular ocean views | with pool and solar power

Perched on the mountainside overlooking the eco-village of Scarborough, Ocean’s Horizon is the stuff dreams are made of: magnificent views, luxury, and ultimate relaxation. Take in the breathtaking beauty of Cape Town’s most pristine coastline enclave. Be carried away by the soothing sounds of breaking waves and seagulls. Be awestruck by sunsets unmatched in their intensity and splendour. This is what Ocean’s Horizon has to offer.

Ocean’s Horizon is the very essence of relaxation. Spend your days soaking up the sun on the veranda, reading a good book, listening to your favourite music, and sipping on a refreshing beverage – all the while being mesmerised by the vast and dreamy seascape sprawling out before you. Once you’ve experienced Ocean’s Horizon, you’ll find it hard to leave the house ̶ even with Cape Town’s numerous attractions all just a short drive away!

The owner of this stunning home was the most helpful host of any place we have ever stayed. It was a pleasure planning our trip to Cape Town from Canada with her warm assistance. The photos of the home are completely accurate, it is stunning! Such a perfect area for cycling and ocean walks. The beds and linen were so comfortable. We would love to return to this amazing home!

A little piece of heaven!
Well, what can I say? Ocean's Horizon is an absolutely gorgeous house. Like a great painting, the house will mean different things to different people. Each person will find an enduring aspect of this property. The house is designed to appeal to both children and adults. It is particularly suited to a family holiday. Our family of 5 have fallen in love with this property and it will always occupy a special place in our hearts. The architecture of the property is stunning. The photos on the website do not do the house justice. The house is modern and has lots of character. The functionality of the building is only surpassed by its comfort. The furnishings are stylish with a distinctive ocean theme. All rooms have a well equipped ensuite with a shower and bath. The master bedroom features a lovely Jacuzzi style bathtub, with great views of the Atlantic ocean. All rooms also have their own balconies, which we enjoyed on the hot evenings. Ocean's Horizon is lovely for entertaining, with two lounges and two dining areas on the same open-plan level as the kitchen, as well as a large veranda and pool. Great for braais, home cooking and sun downers. The kitchen is well equipped with everything a home kitchen god or goddess may require to conjure up a masterpiece. The house benefits from having all appliances necessary for everyday living. The area is safe and great for children. Our children walked to the nearby shop and restaurant most days. The beach is great for swimming and we enjoyed the wonderful white sanded beaches at Scarborough, as well as up and down the Cape Peninsula. The breath taking views are second to none in this part of the world. Scarborough is the ideal tranquil setting to use as a base to explore the beaches, towns, mountains, wine farms and city in and around Cape Town. Scarborough is close to a big shopping centre with supermarkets and restaurants, so you are able to stock the house with anything you may want to make your stay as special as you want it. We were offered the added extra of the use of our very own maid while we stayed at the house, which made washing and ironing of clothes a forgotten chore for the duration of our holiday. The owners' hospitality was amazing. They made us feel so at home and welcome, and we are very grateful to them for everything they did for us, before, during and after our wonderful stay. Sue & Alex are great hosts and we feel very happy to give their property the highest possible rating.

Peace and tranquility in the Cape
Ocean's Horizon is the perfect location for a warm, relaxing getaway. In comparison to the rest of the Cape Town area, Scarborough village is peaceful, quiet and refreshingly underdeveloped. The westward views of the Atlantic Ocean are breathtaking, particularly in the evening. The house is situated at the highest part of the village, a steep walk from the centre (or very short drive). There are two excellent restaurants, both serving freshly-made delicious food as well as a real bakery making bread daily. Scarborough is a community freed from the normal security worries present in Cape Town and its suburbs. In all senses, it is off the beaten track, passed only by people travelling down to the Cape Peninsula National Park or those touring the coastal road. During the week, the beautiful beach is deserted and it's never very much busier at weekends. There are walks and wildlife all around, even a penguin or two. The house itself was designed and built by the owners. And it is a delightful and first-class place to stay. It is not just a holiday home, but the second home of Sue and Alex and they look after it lovingly and proudly. Indeed, nothing is too much trouble. There is a marvellous feeling of space and light about the place and it is easy to manage the internal temperature throughout the day. In terms of facilities, it has everything one would expect and all of high quality. There is no swimming pool (just a plunge pool) and getting in and out of the steep drive takes a bit of practice. But those minor considerations aside, we could not fault it. Looking forward to another long stay next year! Howard J.

About the host

Hosted by Torsten Unger

Host profile image
We are Torsten and Martin! We absolutely fell in love with Ocean’s Horizon, and we were over the moon when we were given the opportunity to take over this wonderful home in September 2022. With the vast Atlantic Ocean in front of you and Baskloof Nature Reserve behind you, it truly is a magical place that will inspire you and make you feel at peace.

Ocean’s Horizon is not only perfectly suited for a holiday, but also for extended stays — or even as your remote office if you’re a digital nomad. We also love working from Ocean’s Horizon — but only three months out of the year. The rest of the time we rent out the house so that you also have the opportunity to experience its magic.

Why they chose this property

Breathtaking sea views:
Enjoy spectacular views of the Atlantic Ocean, the beach and the coastal town of Scarborough from the open-plan living area, the veranda, the pool and even from the king-size bed, shower and whirlpool bath in the main bedroom.

Surrounded by pristine nature:
The Baskloof Nature Reserve begins directly behind Ocean’s Horizon. A garden gate leads to this natural paradise and up to the local mountain, Camel Rock, which offers a variety of hiking trails and a stunning view of the coastline.

Ample space for up to six people:
The spacious 270 m²-home is on three levels and has three bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom. The beds in Bedrooms 2 and 3 can be separated if desired.

Exceptional architecture and timeless design:
The stylish house offers spectacular panoramic vistas through large windows that blur the line between indoors and outdoors. The kitchen, dining room, lounge with fireplace and entertainment area merge seamlessly into one another and their bright interiors evoke a holiday feeling.

What makes this property unique

Exclusive privacy for special moments:
The house, the veranda and the garden are shielded from outside glances and are therefore ideal for an intimate getaway for two. The garage offers direct access to the house.

Luxurious features - delightful all year long:
In summer, the spacious veranda beckons with its small plunge pool, sun loungers and even a braai (barbecue grill). On cooler days, the open fireplace in the lounge, the gas fireplace in the main bedroom, the whirlpool bath and the under-floor heating in the bathrooms and bedrooms ensure plenty of warmth for cosy moments.

Perfectly equipped ̶ even for extended stays:
The fully equipped kitchen, utility room with a dishwasher, washing machine and dryer allow for a holiday escape with no limitations. For a visit to the beach, bath towels, beach chairs, parasols and a cooler are ready and waiting. And of course, the braai is waiting to be used on the veranda.

Comprehensive entertainment:
Thanks to the high-speed fibre-optic connection, complimentary Wi-Fi is available in the entire house. The large smart TV in the lounge provides for a cinema feeling from the comfort of the sofa. A large selection of films, series and TV channels is available via Netflix and DStv.

Smart home, modern living:
A sophisticated lighting concept using Alexa voice recognition and motion sensors makes switching lights on and off a breeze at Ocean’s Horizon.

Relax in complete safety - and always with power:
The tranquil coastal town of Scarborough is located away from large housing developments and is exceptionally safe ̶ you can move around freely here. To ensure peace of mind, Ocean’s Horizon is equipped with an easy-to-operate state-of-the-art security system. Additionally, a solar power system guarantees a constant supply of electricity at all times - a big plus in South Africa!
