Bakoven, a tiny suburb bordering a small, secluded beach, is one of Camps Bay's hidden gems. Its name was coined by the Dutch settlers, literally "baking oven", and refers to a large rock off the beach that looks like an open oven, similar to those used by the Dutch pioneers. The dash of white sand is surrounded on either side by a combination of big boulders and rocks, with a narrow channel of ocean, through which the NSRI rescue boats are launched.
Private and sheltered from the wind, with crystal clear turquoise waters, this haven offers an ideal summer experience for the whole family. Kids can be absorbed by the rock pools or the plethora of shells on the beach. Other activities include paddling out on the crystal clear waters. Famous for its breathtaking sunsets, be mesmerized and absorb the last rays of the sun while enjoying a sundowner on the iconic boulders.
The house features elegant neutral tones and the soft white interior is matched with quality finishes. The balcony wraps around the house, and the sea views are awe-inspiring.
