If you’ve ever dreamt of a serene Easter escape with crashing waves, coastal walks, and sundowners on a deck overlooking the Atlantic, we’ve got good news: Chapuzon – our go-to house in Scarborough – is still available to book for the Easter weekend.
We say our favourite because, well, it is. When we head out to Scarborough for a break, we only ever stay at Chapuzon. It’s part of the Du Cap Collection, and if you know anything about them, you’ll know their properties are as considered as they are stylish. This one is no exception.
Chapuzon sits perched above the sea in that magical part of the Cape where time slows down and barefoot living is not just encouraged but unavoidable.
The house is a perfect blend of beachy minimalism and comfort – think sun-drenched interiors, clean lines, and a breezy open-plan layout that flows straight onto the pool deck.
The killer mountain and ocean views are visible from almost every angle, whether you’re lounging on the sofa, cooking in the kitchen, or sipping something cold on the porch.
It sleeps eight across three bedrooms (two doubles and a 4-sleeper bunk room), making it ideal for families, couples, or a group of friends.
And while the house is beautiful, it’s the setting that makes it unforgettable. The beach is a short stroll away, and you’re surrounded by the Cape Point Nature Reserve, surf breaks, and dramatic hiking trails.
Scarborough’s wild, untouched beauty is unlike anywhere else in Cape Town.
Being part of the Du Cap Collection means Chapuzon also comes with all the thoughtful touches you’d expect – from curated interiors to proper linen and all the creature comforts. You won’t want to leave. Trust us. We never do.
If you’re still looking for something special this Easter, this is your sign. Even without a full house, the rate for 3/4 nights over Easter works out to less than R1k per person per night. There aren’t many places that make switching off this easy.
Book Chapuzon on Airbnb before someone else does.
And remember, if you do get it for Easter weekend, don’t tell too many people. We’d like to keep it for ourselves.
