Tokai, Cape Town

Pull back the stacking glass doors, gather friends around the patio table and let the afternoon unfold beside the pool. Generous indoor-outdoor living sets the scene for a home you will love sharing.

Set on 1 080 m² in Tokai, this five-bedroom property combines a three-bedroom main residence with two separately accessed, Airbnb-style guest units. Together, they offer space for family life, independent accommodation and the opportunity to supplement your income through an existing short-stay rental operation.

The heart of the home opens onto an expansive covered entertainment patio stretching across much of the living area. Full stacking glass doors connect the lounge, dining room and kitchen to this outdoor setting, where a built-in braai, sparkling pool and cascading water feature invite long lunches and relaxed evenings.

Inside, the open-plan layout keeps the cook part of the conversation, while a concealed scullery and laundry keep everyday practicalities neatly out of sight. Three bedrooms provide the main home’s accommodation, and an executive study creates a dedicated space for focused work.

The two additional guest units give you choices as life changes. Accommodate extended family, give adult children greater independence or welcome paying guests through their own private entrances. With one unit currently generating short-stay rental income, the property offers an established starting point for buyers interested in hosting.

A neat lawn and well-maintained garden provide room to enjoy the outdoors without extensive grounds to maintain. Solar panels, an inverter system and a working well point serving the pool and irrigation add useful infrastructure to support daily living.

Then there is the location. Tokai brings the outdoors, the wine valley and everyday convenience into the same lifestyle. Walk in Lower Tokai, meet friends for lunch at Steenberg or Constantia Uitsig, or explore Norval Foundation’s art and sculpture garden. Steenberg Village and Constantia Village offer shopping and dining, while nearby schooling options include Reddam House Constantia and the American International School of Cape Town.

For buyers seeking a substantial Southern Suburbs home, the attraction is the combination: space to entertain, a place to work, separate income generating accommodation and a location with plenty to enjoy.
