We know that properties on the Atlantic Seaboard don’t come cheap, the area claiming a number of spots in the top ten most expensive suburbs in the country. That being said a price tag of R150 000 a day still comes as a surprise, although we are licking our lips just looking at this villa in Clifton.

Sold recently for R111 million the property is now available for rent over the festive season, a cancellation opening up this prime time of the year. Five bedrooms, five storeys – here’s what you’re looking at courtesy of News24:

It was bought by a company owned by Johannesburg software tycoon Danny Mackay, chairperson of IT company Tactical Software Systems (TSS), which employs 700 people at several subsidiary businesses.

The Clifton villa, known as Pentagon, is situated in Cape Town’s platinum real estate stretch called Nettleton Road, with sweeping views of the Atlantic Ocean below…

On its ground level, the home’s garage can house four large cars, or possibly a small boat.

It has staff quarters just down the passage from the main bedroom, a private gym and a 10-seater home cinema with upholstered walls and dove-grey leather loungers – and, on a small table, a box of tissues for those tearjerker films.

On the top floor, a double-volume entertainment area opens onto a Zen-like mountain garden complete with a trickling waterfall.

Chop a zero off that rental, get a team of friends together and live like a king for a day – who’s in?
