A Modern Statement in Cape Town’s Most Coveted Neighbourhood
In Claremont Upper, ancient oaks shade the quiet streets and mountain light spills across elegant façades. The Cavendish rises as a sculptural statement in contemporary urban living – a carefully designed experience that blends Cape Town’s unique spirit with refined, quality design. This isn’t just a residence; it’s a thoughtful approach to daily life, where every detail is considered to enhance comfort, connection, and convenience.
Location is key here. The Cavendish places you a few steps from Cavendish Square and minutes from UCT , the CBD, and the city’s famed winelands. It’s a neighbourhood that balances leafy calm with vibrant energy. You’re not just buying space; you’re investing in a lifestyle that reflects the best of Cape Town – active, sophisticated, and smart. The Cavendish is designed as a private base for residents who value both privacy and proximity.
The Apartments: Modern, Flexible Living
The building comprises 32 exclusive apartments, each conceived as a lock-up-and-go haven without sacrificing warmth or character. Inside, the quality is evident. Floor-to-ceiling glass and aluminium sliding doors frame panoramic Table Mountain vistas, while generous terraces invite the outdoors in.
Kitchens feature contemporary fittings, and all finishes have been chosen for their quality, durability, and timeless design. The smart, practical layouts reflect a commitment to longevity.

This comprehensive lifestyle is completed by modern, flexible policies. A key differentiator is the building’s forward-thinking approach to pets.
Finding a pet-friendly apartment in Upper Claremont is a significant challenge. Many traditional and even new developments in the area explicitly prohibit pets, forcing residents to choose between the location they want and their (four-legged) family members. The Cavendish addresses this market gap directly.
The Cavendish developers recognise that for modern residents, pets are family. This pet-friendly policy isn’t just a minor feature – it’s a core part of the lifestyle that sets The Cavendish apart from the restrictive, more traditional options. This, combined with short-term letting options, makes the building a truly flexible and modern choice.

Investors can take advantage of Section 13sex tax incentives, which allow a capital write-off on residential units held in a rental portfolio – potentially up to 55% of the purchase price over 20 years.
