1. Cape Town Luxury Villas have 15 years of ownership, marketing and management of Villas in Cape Town.
From one of us to one of them, 15 years ago Nick Ray Ball, founder of Cape Town Luxury Villas, Cape Villas and Villa Secrets was a simple tourist on his first visit to Cape Town... but on his second day, things changed for ever as he fell in love with the City and its surrounding mountains. Two days later he purchased an apartment in Sea Point and a year later a Villa in Camps Bay.
During the gap he created Cape Villas and by 2005 had exclusive property marketing rights for a half dozen villas, a portfolio that would increase to about forty properties in 2009.
However more is not always better, and now the business model has been re-defined to create small exclusive companies like Cape Town Luxury Villas, looking after and promoting a manageable number of properties, and excelling at it.

Cancelation of mandate, does not include cancelation of bookings, just our exclusivity in making bookings
*Note in the case of sudden sales, typically the property will not be transferred for two to three months, which solves immediate problems, however if for instance a New Years booking has been made and we are before October, some compensation may be needed to re find a villa for guests, the compensation would assist in making such a switch an upgrade.
