The intimate Cape Town suburb is located between Camps Bay and Llandudno.
In some languages, the name is translated to mean ‘Baking Oven’ and this refers to the large rock off the beach that resembles an open Oven.

With pearly white beaches as its front yard and the Twelve Apostles Mountain range as its backdrop, the suburb is certainly easy on the eyes. It also offers quick access to the social scene of Camps Bay with the strip being only a ten-minute walk away.
The neighbourhood is home to two beaches namely Beta Beach and Oudekraal. These sandy coves are slightly more protected from the elements and not as packed with tourists and beachgoers, in comparison to the nearby Llandudno and Camps Bay beaches. The waters are perfect for snorkelling, boating and fishing.
Penthouses, villas and guesthouses are scattered throughout the suburb as it makes for an ideal vacation base.
According to the Seeff Atlantic Seaboard, Camps Bay Primary School and High School are approximately ten minutes away, making the neighbourhood a great choice for families looking to settle into a forever home. There are other high schools located within reasonable driving distance from the area too.
Healthcare facilities such as Sea Point Medical Centre and New Somerset Hospital are both easily accessible from this suburb.
Though it is not home to any restaurants, besides a picturesque coffee shop, Camp’s Bay and other surrounding coastal suburbs are packed with every dining out option under the sun.
The suburb is so central that you’re never more than 15 minutes away from anything you could possibly need.
