Element House – Camps Bay / Bakoven presents itself as a contemporary, luxurious and environmentally-conscious residence set in a tranquil cul-de-sac in Bakoven, within easy reach of Camps Bay. The property blends sleek design with natural surroundings, delivering expansive spaces and dramatic Atlantic Ocean and mountain views across a private, gated setting. Since its completion in 2016, Element House has been positioned as a high-end holiday home offering privacy, comfort and modern conveniences for discerning travellers.

Accommodation and layout are designed for groups seeking a luxurious flagship stay. The main house delivers approximately 290 square metres of internal living space, complemented by a 96 square metre pool deck and a 60 square metre rear garden. The layout centres on an open-plan lounge, dining area and kitchen, providing a sociable hub for larger groups or family gatherings. Three bedrooms are complemented by one separate apartment, with all sleeping arrangements geared to eight adults in total. Each bedroom benefits from an ensuite bathroom/shower and access to contemporary comforts, including underfloor heating in all rooms and a pellet-burning fireplace for cosy winter evenings.

Element House emphasises a seamless indoor–outdoor flow. Floor-to-ceiling folding doors and security glass windows link the dining area with the pool deck and back garden, creating a seamless transition between relaxation spaces and outdoor living. The pool area features an infinity pool (4 by 7 metres) with a sheltered seating area, a Jacuzzi, and a dedicated barbecue area adjacent to the pool deck, making it well-suited to year-round entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with premium appliances from SMEG and Miele, and practical touches include dimmable lighting, USB points at all outlets and WLAN connectivity across the property.

Guest services are emphasised through professional housekeeping and maintenance teams. Daily cleaning and an independent maid-service—staff such as Amanda and her team—have earned positive recognition from guests in visitor reviews for their responsiveness and care. The property operates with an in-house approach to upkeep and guest comfort, ensuring spaces remain pristine and well-catered for extended stays. An independent water and electricity supply, alongside solar power, underlines the property’s ecological considerations and reliability in a region prone to load-shedding.

Location and accessibility feature prominently in the guest experience. Element House sits in a quiet, upscale neighbourhood, with Camps Bay Beach, the promenade, and nearby eateries a short walk or drive away. Banyan views stretch across the Atlantic Ocean and the Twelve Apostles, contributing to a sense of privacy and serenity while keeping popular Cape Town sites within convenient reach. Local landmarks such as Theatre On The Bay and Clifton Beach are listed as nearby, with the Table Mountain cableway and moral highlights within a short drive, making day trips and exploring the Cape Peninsula straightforward for visitors.

Guest experience is enhanced by a separate apartment that offers private access and a self-contained kitchen, providing additional privacy for couples or small groups within the same property. Practicalities include the option of airport transfers or full-service logistics through the listing’s connections, and a dedicated parking setup, including a garage for two cars and additional on-site parking. Security features—alarm system, cameras, and direct connection to armed response—contribute to a sense of safety for guests enjoying a relaxed, exclusive environment.

From visitor reviews, expectations are clearly set around luxurious interiors, remarkable sea and mountain views, and the warmth of the staff. Guests frequently commend the cleanliness, tasteful decor, and the expansive entertaining areas, noting that the space can comfortably accommodate a larger party or family group. While some reviewers mention seasonal considerations such as power cuts affecting certain amenities, the property’s back-up systems and attentive hosts are highlighted as mitigating factors that maintain a high-quality experience.

Typical requests and processes revolve around flexible check-in and check-out times coordinated with host teams, prior notice for arrivals, and adherence to house rules designed to preserve the property’s privacy and exclusivity.
