Property Description
With 12 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms and eight self-contained studio suites, this is a rare property with genuine flexibility and strong appeal on the Atlantic Seaboard.
60 Rottingdean Road is a freehold property of approximately 500 m² under roof on a 595 m² erf (Erf 1249, Bakoven; 596 m² cadastral), zoned General Residential 2 (GR2). It sits in Bakoven, moments from the beach and the Camps Bay strip, with sweeping views across the Atlantic Ocean, the Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head. The four-bedroom main residence offers a sunny lounge and a separate TV room that connect with an open-plan kitchen and dining area, opening through large openings onto a Balau wood pool deck positioned for Atlantic sunsets. Alongside the main house are eight independently accessed studio suites, each with its own en-suite bathroom and private entrance, plus staff accommodation with its own bathrooms. The property has been operated successfully as short-stay accommodation by the current owner. A double garage, additional off-street parking and a fully walled perimeter complete the offering.
With income from the suites, GR2 zoning and the views, the property speaks to three distinct buyers: a family who wants to live in the main house and let the suites, an operator running the whole property as a boutique guesthouse, and an investor looking at modernisation or redevelopment.

Area Description
Bakoven is a small, tightly held coastal pocket at the quiet southern end of Camps Bay on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard, one of the city’s most sought-after and exclusive residential areas. The suburb is known for its boulder-strewn coves, dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean, the Twelve Apostles and Lion’s Head, and its proximity to the Camps Bay beachfront, restaurants and cafes. The property sits moments from Bakoven beach and a short distance from Camps Bay Beach, with Camps Bay Primary, Camps Bay Preparatory and the Camps Bay restaurant strip, the Kasteelspoort hiking trail and the Promenade shopping centre all close by. Victoria Road links the area to Camps Bay, Clifton, Sea Point and the city centre.
