I could get used to that view.

If you have far too much money to spend, R220 000 a month in Bantry Bay lands you this absolute ripper.

For those of us forced to live in the real world, that’s a touch out of the budget range, but perhaps R25 000 a month for a three-bedroom apartment in Green Point is more up your alley.

Whilst the Cape luxury home market is taking a beating, especially along the Atlantic Seaboard, the COVID-19 pandemic has provided those with an eye for a bargain with some great opportunities.

Property sites are full of rentals going at reduced rates, such as the above mentioned “light and bright, modern semi-detached three-bedroom, furnished apartment with incredible views over Green Point”, which is listed on Seeff.

You’re up high on the aptly named Ocean View Drive, and the apartment is designed so that the lounge and main bedroom open up onto the balcony with exquisite views.

Let’s snoop around:

OK, I think you get the drift.

The listing also says that all three bedrooms are en suite, and that one electric garage is included in the rental.

Good times, although if you handed me R25 000 and told me to find a rental with a great view, I’d choose this one in Scarborough and bank the change.

A little less central, but you’re working from home in your pyjamas, anyway.
