Get your property in Cape Town
Cape Town is South Africa’s oldest city and is rich in culture, history and property investment possibilities for everyone no matter who you are or what kind of property buying or rentals adventure you seek!
A great reason to buy property in Cape Town is the daily enjoyment of seeing the city’s biggest landmark: The majestic Table Mountain. This giant flat-topped peak watches over the city which wraps tightly around its base. The city centre is famous for many things but a highlight is the vibrant market property sales and rentals market in Cape Town. The real estate market in the City is known for its expensive property sales and high rentals that deliver great returns for property investments in Cape Town.
A world-class cableway featuring slowly rotating cars connects the mountain’s top with its base. This allows the more leisurely traveller an opportunity to really soak in the views of the city without the effort of a hike to the top. That said, if hiking is more your thing, there are plenty of extremely popular hiking trails that more adventurous visitors can take to reach the top. And if you don’t fancy the hike back down, you can gladly take the cableway! Every Summer, the mountain receives its distinctive white ‘tablecloth’. Legend has it that this cloudy cover is a result of an eternal smoking contest between the chain-smoking Van Hunks and the devil himself.
Property owners in Cape Town are known for their love of the outdoors, and this is made possible because there is no shortage of real estate opportunities in Cape Town. Whether you’re buying a property in Cape Town or just browsing property rentals in Cape Town, this is a city that has real estate that’s ideal for everyone.
Climate in Cape Town
Table Mountain is also responsible for giving the City two distinctly different climates. This is phenomenon is hardly believable until you experience it for yourself.
The east face of the mountain receives above-average rainfall. Here you’ll find upmarket real estate with large homes on big properties. These properties feature rolling gardens, surrounded by large forests. The world-renowned Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is nearby and offers property owners in Cape Town, a range of activities in its winding terrain.
The west face, meanwhile, enjoys a Mediterranean climate and boasts luxurious world-famous Blue Flag beaches such as Camps Bay and Clifton. This part of Cape Town also fetches record property prices, so it’s one to watch.

Sports & Recreation
Cape Town is famous for the huge variety of outdoor sporting activities available throughout the peninsula but probably its most famous is its beaches. Whether you’re looking to soak up the rays with the other beautiful bodies on the white sands of Clifton, Camps Bay or Llandudno, or if you prefer watersports or even if all you want is to enjoy a horse ride on the beach, Cape Town has a sandy stretch for you.
Cape Town and its surrounds host some of the most epic surf spots in South Africa. These include Noordhoek, Blouberg & Big Bay, Derde Steen, Kommetjie and Long Beach to name a few. However, no list of surf breaks in Cape Town would be complete without mentioning Hout Bay’s famous ‘Dungeons’. This is home to some of the biggest waves in the world that come rolling in from the stormy South Atlantic. Every February, Red Bull sponsors the ‘Big Wave Africa’ contest which attracts big wave surfers from all over the world to face these moving mountains of the deep. This event is best viewed from a boat, so make sure you book your seat on a local charter early because it’s super popular!
Kitesurfers and Windsurfers are well catered for at various locations around Cape Town as well. The most famous of these is Blouberg beach, where the wind blows parallel to the brilliant white sandy beaches, creating perfect kitesurfing conditions that rank amongst the best in the world. Kitesurfers from all over come to this beach during Summer to practice their skills. Each February at the Summer peak, Red Bull hosts the ‘King of the Air’ kitesurfing contest that attracts the best kitesurfers in the world to see who can achieve the highest jumps.
If the solid ground is more your thing, you’re also in luck. The city is surrounded by craggy mountain ranges that offer endless opportunities for mountain climbing, trail running, mountain biking, hang-gliding and hiking. Alternatively, beautiful long roads for road cyclists snake their way along tall cliffs and past blue seas, offering some of the most breathtaking cycling views available anywhere. While you’re enjoying the fresh air and the views, you’ll be treated to some of the most ecologically unique flora in the world. The Table Mountain range, in particular, is home to some species of plants that only occur there and nowhere else, so keep an eye out for that.
If staying home at your perfect property in Cape Town sounds more like something you’d prefer, then Platinum Century Properties can help!

Fishing & Boating – Cape Town
Cape Town has a rich seafaring heritage. Beginning in the age of sail right up until today, the Western Cape has had an intimate connection with the sea. If fishing or boating is your passion, you can’t go wrong with buying property or enjoying a property rental in Century City. Platinum Century Properties is the Century City property sales and rentals experts. We’ll help you find the perfect property in Century City, Cape Town to buy or rent so that you can be close to the fantastic fishing opportunities around Cape Town.
The little fishing town of Hout Bay, a few dozen kilometres south of the city centre, hosts a gleaming fleet of high-tech deep-sea sports fishing charter boats. These boats are typically catamaran hulls that are designed and manufactured in Cape Town and built especially to tackle the Cape’s famously temperamental waters. Skilled skippers will take you in their high-performance fishing vessels, miles offshore to seek some of the world’s best sports fishing experiences such as yellowfin tuna and bluefin tuna.
If you prefer doing your fishing with your feet firmly on the land, or if you like a more relaxed boating option, there are those as well.
The Cape offers all manner of shore-based fishing options, but the best way to find out about these is to speak to the enthusiasts at the nearest fishing tackle shop and get the local knowledge straight from them. They’ll be happy to tell you! On the other hand, if you’d rather just speak to some property enthusiasts, speak to Platinum Century Properties about property sales and rentals in Century City.

Day trips in Cape Town
With its abundance of local attractions both near and far, the Western Cape truly offers an adventure to suit every taste.
One of Capetonians’ favourite pursuits is the weekend day trip. For the sake of an hour or so on the road, you can be treated to any number of fantastic experiences.
Once you hit the road, in the South, you can experience the rugged cliffs, wild seas and windswept plains of the Cape Point nature reserve. Or visit the cute little penguin colony at the famous Boulders Beach in Simonstown, grabbing some delicious fresh fried fish and chips for lunch nearby. Alternatively, head about an hour or so east and you’ll be able to visit the ever-popular cliffside town of Hermanus.
This town is famous because it’s the only place in the world where various species of whales, who come there to breed every year in their dozens/hundreds, can be observed directly from the clifftop path that winds its way around the shores of Walker Bay. It is a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience. If that’s not your thing, drive an hour north and experience some of the world’s best wines and most gorgeous restaurants alongside the breathtaking Stellenbosch wine route.
Or better yet, spend an hour driving west up the famous, rugged West Coast where you can experience seas of colour during wildflower season, and spend the afternoon enjoying the ostriches, antelope and white sands of the protected West Coast National Park near Langebaan.
There is something for everyone in Cape Town; when you visit, you’ll never want to leave. And when you make that decision, Platinum Century Properties will be here to assist you with your property sales, rentals and property management needs.
