With the iconic Apollo and the agile Eros, Helios Fire offers Cape Town residents the finest in smokeless fire pits, built for decks, lawns, patios, and any outdoor gathering. And what completes the experience? The answer is simple: the only additional accessory is you.

Why Cape Town is Built for Helios Fire

From Noordhoek gardens to City Bowl rooftops, Cape Town’s beauty thrives outside. With Helios Fire, the outdoors becomes warmer, safer, and more elegant. Here's why Capetonians choose us:

  • Year-Round Use: Cape Town’s mild winters and cool evenings make fire pits useful well beyond seasonal trends.

  • Outdoor Design Culture: Whether it’s a modern deck or a rustic vineyard terrace, Capetonians appreciate pieces that marry form with function.

  • Eco-Minded Values: With water restrictions and fire bans top of mind, Helios Fire’s efficient, low-emission burn resonates.

Helios Fire offers fire that fits seamlessly with the Cape’s lifestyle — sophisticated, sustainable, and smoke-free.

Apollo: Big Heat for Bold Spaces

The Apollo is built for grand gestures. As Helios Fire’s most commanding model, it suits those who love hosting, making memories, and making statements.

Where Apollo Thrives:

  • Landscaped lawns in Constantia

  • Winelands venues near Stellenbosch

  • Rooftop lounges in the City Centre

Why Apollo Works in Cape Town:

  • Wind-Resilient Flames: Cape breezes won’t dim your fire, thanks to Helios’ advanced airflow.

  • Design Statement: Apollo is sculptural — pairing perfectly with modern furniture or natural stone.

  • Powerful Performance: Its large flame radius keeps groups warm across wide, open spaces.

When Cape Town throws a party, Apollo brings the glow.

Eros: Fire’s Minimalist Muse

Compact, mobile, and effortlessly stylish, the Eros is perfect for Capetonians who value flexibility without sacrificing firepower.

Where Eros Excels:

  • Balconies in Sea Point

  • Courtyards in Gardens or Woodstock

  • Airbnb patios in Kalk Bay

Why Eros Belongs in the Cape:

  • Small Footprint, Big Impact: Fits compact outdoor areas while still impressing.

  • Portable by Design: Easy to move, clean, and store.

  • Eco-Friendly Burn: Like Apollo, Eros offers a smokeless, wood-efficient fire that respects Cape Town’s environment.

Eros is the go-to fire pit for creatives, city-dwellers, and weekend hosts who want warmth with restraint.

Iconic Pairings: Helios Fire Meets Cape Town Adventure

Take your Helios experience beyond the backyard. Here are three alternative adventures that pair beautifully with an evening around the fire:

Boulders Beach

Spend your day among the African penguins in Simon’s Town, strolling along the boardwalk and enjoying the charm of white sand and turquoise waters. This unique beach offers a serene connection to nature. Later, return to your garden, ignite your Eros or Apollo, and relive the coastal calm under a blanket of stars — the contrast of penguin playfulness and firelit stillness creating an unforgettable balance..

 

 

Chapman's Peak Drive

Often referred to as the most scenic drive in South Africa, Chapman's Peak winds between mountains and ocean for nearly 10km of unforgettable views. With dramatic cliffs, ocean spray, and golden-hour light, it’s a photographer’s dream. After soaking up the panoramic sights, gather with friends or family around your Helios Fire pit and let the majesty of the journey carry into the night, flames dancing like the sunset you just witnessed.

 

 

The V&A Waterfront

A vibrant hub of culture and commerce, the V&A Waterfront offers high-end shopping, fine dining, boat cruises, art galleries, and historical tours. After a full day soaking in the city's energy, you’ll welcome the quiet embrace of your Apollo or Eros fire pit. Fire becomes your unwind ritual — a shift from public excitement to private connection, from the rhythm of city streets to the slow crackle of Cape Town twilight.

 

 

Cape Town inspires movement. Helios Fire helps you pause — then reflect, connect, and rekindle your rhythm.

Your Flame. Your Space. Your City.

Cape Town is not just a backdrop — it's a canvas of inspiration, and Helios Fire is the signature stroke. Our fire pits don’t just warm the air; they ignite moments, foster connection, and add a touch of ritual to everyday life. In a place where people live outside as much as in, the right fire pit turns your outdoor space into your favorite room.

With the powerful presence of Apollo or the quiet elegance of Eros, Helios Fire adapts to your lifestyle. From city rooftops to coastal courtyards, we meet you where you are — offering flame without fuss, style without smoke, and safety without sacrifice.

So whether you’re hosting sundowners on the Atlantic, sharing stories under Hout Bay stars, or simply unwinding solo on a Sea Point balcony, remember: the magic is already there.

The only accessory you need... is you.

Helios Fire is more than a fire pit — it’s a reflection of Cape Town’s spirit. Whether you’re basking in Apollo’s bold heat or unwinding beside Eros’ quiet flame, you’re investing in beauty, in safety, in quality.
