5 Bedroom House for Sale in Cairnside

Sole & Exclusive Mandate

On show by appointment only.

Set high on the final ridge beneath the mountain, this exceptional multi-level residence commands uninterrupted 180-degree views across False Bay, with no possibility of future development obstructing the outlook. Every principal room is sea-facing, creating a constant connection to the ocean — from sunrise light to shifting coastal colours throughout the day.

Positioned above Cairnside in Simon’s Town, the home combines privacy, elevation, and long-term investment appeal in one of Cape Town’s most quietly emerging coastal pockets. Previously operated as a highly successful Airbnb, the property offers both lifestyle and income potential.

Location – Cairnside, Simon’s Town

Cairnside remains one of Cape Town’s best-kept secrets — a peaceful coastal enclave with a strong sense of community. Ideally positioned between Kalk Bay and Simon’s Town, the area offers easy access to renowned restaurants, beaches, and scenic coastal walks, while maintaining a sense of seclusion.

Many would argue these views rival those of the Atlantic Seaboard, at a fraction of the price point.

Investment Appeal

Properties of this calibre — combining elevation, uninterrupted sea views, and privacy — are increasingly rare. This home represents exceptional value with strong potential for both lifestyle enjoyment and future capital growth.
