The Crown penthouse of Aurum presidential suites Bantry Bay

THE Crown Penthouse, Bantry Bay AURUM

Perched at the highest point of Aurum’s ocean-facing Presidential Suite building, this extraordinary two-level crown penthouse Bantry Bay, occupies one of the most privileged positions on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard.

Here, the architecture rises above the development to meet an uninterrupted Atlantic horizon, creating a home defined not simply by its ocean views, but by its extraordinary relationship with the sea.

This is the private residence of the owner of Aurum – conceived, finished and furnished as a personal home rather than a conventional investment apartment.

Spanning two levels, the residence combines dramatic architectural volume with exceptional privacy. A private lift arrives directly within the home, while a second level of lift access provides a discreet connection to the secure parking area.

The entrance sets the tone immediately. Generous proportions, soaring volume and a distinctive curved staircase create a strong architectural identity, while expansive glazing draws the changing light of the Atlantic deep into the interiors.

LIFE ABOVE THE ATLANTIC

The principal living spaces have been designed around the view.

Floor-to-ceiling glazing opens the residence towards the ocean, with expansive reception, dining and entertaining areas flowing onto an exceptional private terrace.

Outside, the elevated setting becomes an extension of the home. A private lap pool sits against the backdrop of the Atlantic, accompanied by an integrated gas braai and generous areas for outdoor dining and entertaining.

Whether hosting an intimate dinner, enjoying a morning swim or watching the sun disappear across the ocean, the terrace provides a rare sense of being suspended above Bantry Bay.

A KITCHEN DESIGNED TO PERFORM

The kitchen is as distinctive as the residence itself, combining bespoke cabinetry, integrated appliances and imported finishes.

At its centre is a remarkable prototype marble island incorporating an electronically expanding dining surface — an innovative detail that allows the kitchen to transform effortlessly from an everyday workspace into an entertaining environment.

Every element has been selected with both aesthetics and functionality in mind.

THE PRIVATE QUARTERS

Three beautifully appointed bedroom suites provide separation between the social and private areas of the residence.

The principal suite is conceived as a private retreat, complemented by an indulgent bathroom featuring a freestanding bath and refined finishes.

A dedicated study provides an additional private workspace, while the overall configuration allows residents and guests to enjoy generous personal space across both levels.

TURNKEY, FULLY FURNISHED

The penthouse is offered fully furnished and fitted, excluding personal belongings.

The result is a residence that can be acquired and enjoyed immediately, without the lengthy process of furnishing and completing a home of this scale.

The furniture, finishes and fittings form part of a carefully curated interior scheme, creating a cohesive and sophisticated environment throughout.

PRIVACY & PEACE OF MIND

Despite its extraordinary position within one of Cape Town’s most desirable coastal neighbourhoods, the residence offers a remarkable degree of security and discretion.

Aurum provides:

24-hour manned security
Concierge services
Secure private parking
Backup power via battery/inverter
Fibre connectivity
Private lift access
Pet-friendly accommodation

The penthouse includes two secure parking bays and private access arrangements befitting a residence of this calibre.

THE BANTRY BAY ADDRESS

Bantry Bay is one of Cape Town’s most tightly held residential enclaves — a setting prized for its coastline, privacy and proximity to the city.

Clifton’s beaches, Camps Bay, the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town’s finest restaurants and lifestyle destinations are all within easy reach.

Yet from this elevated position, the city feels remarkably distant.

The dominant presence is the Atlantic.

AN EXCEPTIONAL ACQUISITION

The Aurum Presidential Penthouse represents an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, fully resolved private residence in one of Cape Town’s most coveted coastal locations.

Its position at the summit of the ocean-side Presidential Suite building, its two-level configuration, private lift access, expansive entertaining areas, private pool and uninterrupted Atlantic outlook combine to create a property that is genuinely difficult to replicate.

Three bedrooms. Three-and-a-half bathrooms. Two levels. Private pool. Private lift. Two secure parking bays. Uninterrupted ocean outlook. Fully furnished.

A private residence above the Atlantic and a singular offering on the Cape Town market.
