The swallows are headed our way.

That’s true of the migrating birds and also the cashed-up northern hemisphere residents who want to dabble in a Cape Town summer.

Rental prices in the city have been on the rise over the past few months and that’s set to escalate in the high-end market across the Atlantic Seaboard.

Right at the ultra-exclusive end of the market are prices that mere mortals can only dream of. That doesn’t mean we can’t have a good look, with Property24 listing one five-bedroom villa for R250 000 a month.

The daily price is R15 000 (check-in from 2PM and out by 10AM) with a minimum two-day stay, in case you were wondering:

This massive, gorgeous (761 sqm) villa is the ideal getaway for the entire family or an intimate gathering of friends. It is located in the heart of Camps Bay and boasts stunning ocean and mountain views all around. What a picture of serenity!

This dazzling, self-catering holiday home has 5 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, 1 guest toilet, 3 levels, a beautiful and large outdoor terrace, two living and dining areas, main kitchen, guest room kitchen and double garage.

The kitchen has a modern double fridge, a built-in microwave, dishwasher, oven and a gas stove to achieve the optimum cooking temperature. There’s plenty of wooden counter space to spread out a feast, and bright LED lights for a beautiful aesthetic.

As is to be expected, the rooms come with views down over the bay:

You’re probably hosting if you rent a house like this, but for a break, you can pop down to the Camps Bay strip.

Palm trees, the iconic beachside throne tailor-made for your holiday social media posts, and Café Caprice calling for when you want to let your hair down.

Look at that sunset view:

Pop in for a sundowner and next thing you know the DJ is on the decks and it’s all happening.

Back to your exclusive rental when the lights go out and there is no shortage of options.

The property comes with a braai area, indoor gym, jacuzzi, steam room, garden, and children’s play area.

You don’t even need to bother with those beach live cams to check out the conditions because you can just gaze off the terrace and you’re sorted.

It’s amazing what the pound, Euro, and dollar can buy you down south.
