In the striking setting of the V&A Waterfront, it’s easy to lose yourself in the maze of gleaming marinas, docks, and canals. Whether you’re off on a yacht trip, windsurfing day, or hoping to see some marine wildlife in the Two Oceans Aquarium, this apartment is more than convenient for a waterside stay. And at less than a ten-minute walk from the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art, you can flex a cultural muscle too.

From up on the second floor of this superbly modern block, you’ll love the views of the watery locale. It certainly makes it easier to plan the day ahead, choosing your next location from your balcony, morning espresso in hand. But the facilities here might also make you want to stay put. Keep up with your fitness regime in the residents’ gym, or take a swim in one of the heated pools. Your host can even arrange for massages, private chefs, and activities on your behalf. A truly VIP offering.

In the same vein, your apartment echoes a VIP lifestyle. Fresh and modern in design, you’ll find mid-century furnishings alongside cosy knitted beanbags, as well as huge glass sliding doors. Marble floors will keep your feet cool, while the stylish, understated colour scheme will help you stay zen in this otherwise vibrant neighbourhood.

Palm Canal

With delightful views directly over the flat-topped Table Mountain, this bold apartment is perfectly placed in the De Waterkant district – a chic and inclusive enclave of the city. Just around the corner from here, perhaps you'll spend an afternoon perusing contemporary art in the Goodman Gallery. Alternatively, a sophisticated shopping spree may lead you to the nearby Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village.

We're sure that those with an eye for detail will appreciate the zesty safari-inspired styling of this home – so, even when you retreat from the streets below to sip mampoer on this cosy couch, there's no forgetting where you're staying. What's more, these floor-to-ceiling windows promise to light up your morning plans at the wooden dining table, as well as those special evenings spent watching sunsets. For something extra special, why not treat your loved ones to a dinner of potjiekos prepared by a professional chef? Or, how about a soothing massage after a lively day of sightseeing?

Vivid Earth

Nestled in the spellbinding suburb of Bishopscourt, this villa makes an impressive first impression by blending elegance and eclectic African pieces by local artists. The patio – complete with a swimming pool and ample outdoor seating – overlooks some of the mountains that make the mother city special, and those vistas stay mostly within view thanks to the architecture and large windows. With a private tennis court, gym, games room, and cinema, there’s plenty to occupy. The beach is a short drive away, and so is the golf course, but it’s Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden that's a must for any bucket list.

The Golden Gleame

If your idea of a great holiday involves stunning ocean views, you’ll be hitting it out of the park with this beautiful home. Set in the heart of Mouille Point and overlooking the Atlantic, you can spend mornings curled up on the sofa, breaking between chapters to check in on the ocean just outside. 

Spend breakfasts at the striking dining table, the concertina doors gaping open to allow the sea-salt breeze in as you drink coffee, pass the scrambled eggs around, and chatter about the day’s plans. 

Those plans might involve a shopping trip at V&A Waterfront or perhaps a day at Mouille Point beach doing little more than listening to the waves lapping. For something a little more cultural, you can stop off at the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, only minutes away. Considering that the Bo-Kaap is famous for its brightly coloured houses, it’s worth seeing anyway – even just for a fabulous holiday photo.

Back home, soak up the calm atmosphere created by the natural elements, neutral colour palette, bohemian flair and many verdant green houseplants. And if the space isn’t enough to unwind, you can always enjoy a glass of wine on the balcony at sunset.

Portal to Mouille Point

Bright and modern, this home in Mouille Point combines rattan furniture, pampas grass, and plenty of wooden elements with bold wallpaper and vibrant tiles to create a natural bohemian style with dramatic flair. As if that isn’t already impressive enough, this home also has incredible views of Lion’s head on one side and the Atlantic on the other. 

With the kitchen being as charming as it is, you might rediscover your love of cooking whilst preparing a breakfast of eggs, sauteed mushrooms, toast, and sausage. Take it over to the dining table to enjoy with freshly-brewed coffee and a mesmerising view of the sunny city. 

Stroll to the beach right on your doorstep and take a long walk in the salty surf before stopping off for ice cream. Visit the Green Point Lighthouse and go around sampling the restaurants and coffee shops in the area. Golfing enthusiasts will be delighted by not only one, but two golf courses that are located mere minutes away. 

Explore the diverse city at your fingertips and when you’re ready to return home, you can expect to find a relaxing environment to unwind in. Run a bubble bath and soak in the freestanding tub as you read a romance novel before enjoying a glass of wine in the sunny nook adjacent to the bedroom. End the day by falling asleep on the comfortable couch as you’re watching your favourite movie snuggled up. 

Seafoam Pearl

Boasting spectacular sea views and luxury interiors, this coastal home promises a relaxing and memorable retreat. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of Cape Town's central, you can savour the peace and comfort this beachside location offers – the white-sand shores of Camps Bay are merely a five-minute stroll away.

Split your time between the two private balconies, kitted out with seating and a barbecue so you can enjoy alfresco meals with the ocean ahead. If you're quiet, you might even hear the waves lapping on Clifton 4th Beach. Inside, homely decor invites you to fully switch off – come evening, sink into the sofa and switch on your favourite TV show. But make sure you return to the terrace in time to watch the sunset.

We suggest bringing a car so you can easily journey into the city centre, less than ten minutes away. Learn more about the country's history at the fascinating Iziko South African Museum, before putting on your walking shoes and heading up Signal Hill. Trust us, it's worth it for the views.

Cape Nautica

Tucked away in Cape Town’s leafy De Waterkant district, this stunning apartment is a haven of tranquillity in the heart of the Capital. From the neutral tones to the luxury furnishings, there’s nothing not to love about the interior here, which comes complete with all the amenities you’d expect from a high-end hotel alternative. Gather around the dining table for a relaxing evening meal, take a minute for yourself in the quiet enclosed courtyard, or head upstairs for a late-night dip in the private rooftop plunge pool. 

Just a short walk from Cape Town City Centre, this gorgeous home is perfectly placed for exploring all that South Africa’s largest city has to offer. Soak up some culture at one of Cape Town’s iconic museums or make your way to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for a delicious waterside meal. However you spend your days here, we highly recommend heading home before dusk so you can watch the sun go down from your private rooftop terrace. We don’t know about you, but we can’t think of a better way to spend the evening. 

Oak & Glass

This minimalist yet elegant apartment situated between the picturesque Sea Point and the vibrant Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is an ideal base for a small family or an intimate group of friends wanting to make the most out of their time in Cape Town. Close to the idyllic beaches, with plenty of options for surfing, dining and entertainment, you’re guaranteed a memorable stay. 

The apartment will welcome you with a bright and cosy open-plan living room, with huge windows letting in plenty of natural light. Slide open the glass door and step out on the balcony – while you might miss the sea views, the lovely trees and that blue sky will still make for a lovely backdrop for a relaxed drink or two with your loved ones. Inside, you can kick back and relax on the comfy sofa, enjoying a movie night, courtesy of the smart TV and a Netflix account. Rustle up a delicious supper in the well-equipped kitchen and share it at the dining table, which also doubles as a comfy laptop-friendly workspace. 

Get a good night’s rest in the comfy bedrooms and wake up refreshed and ready for another day of Cape adventures. Why not start by exploring your area, where you’ll find plenty of hip coffee shops and restaurants, and you can easily walk to the Sea Point Promenade, where you’ll be able to admire the unparalleled sea views. 

Blue Eyes Forever 

There are many highlights of this home, but the cosy terrace with incredible views of Table Mountain is the jewel in its crown. Inspiring and mesmerising, it adds a magical allure to the chic outside space. 

We imagine that outside space is where you'll spend most of your time. Whether it's sharing a pot of coffee for breakfast, tasting some biltong for lunch or watching the orange hues of sunset disappear beneath the mountain. 

The chic style of the terrace continues once inside the home. Authentically African artwork hangs on the walls and rustic artefacts are dotted around the living room. 

The living room – adorned in comfy sofas and facing the TV – leads to a contemporary kitchen and breakfast bar. You can open the patio doors to the terrace and sit on the stools to replicate beach bar vibes.

If you wanted to visit an actual beach bar, there are many lined across the shoreline at Camps Bay. But mosey around slightly more locally and you'll find a nexus of restaurants, cafes and bars around the vibey streets of De Waterkant.

Setting the Table

Overlooking one of South Africa’s most loved beaches, this home makes the perfect setting for a breezy coastal getaway. Wake up to beautiful views and savour the feeling of the fresh Southern Atlantic air from the deck. There’s a barbecue for alfresco dining and your host is on hand to help organise extras like a private chef and catering. All three of the bedrooms have en-suite bathrooms as well as access to the outside. Plus, you’ll be in the ideal spot for massage treatments, yoga sessions, surf lessons as well as hiking along this beautiful stretch of Cape Town. 


Waterfront Breeze

Smell the ocean and listen to the sounds of the waves lapping the shore when you stay at this stylish home – it’s literally right on the water’s edge at Mouille Point Beach. We think it’s a really special spot – the views from the floor-to-ceiling windows are truly mesmerising. We could sit on the chairs looking out at the stunning vistas all day. 

Plenty of art prints and plants give this place a homely feel. Get your book and head to the reading nook, where you can enjoy the salty breeze in comfort. And who wouldn’t want to wake up to those ocean vistas from the bedroom every morning? Grab a cup of coffee and some breakfast in the modern kitchen and simply enjoy.

If you can drag yourself away from this apartment, go for a stroll and do some beach combing or head to the stunning Camps Bay Beach, twenty minutes away.

Bay Edge

Just a stone's throw from the V&A Waterfront, there's plenty to explore around this sleek apartment. You've got bustling Green Point and its array of lively nightlife, delicious restaurants and cute coffee shops within easy reach. Then there's the aquarium and museums right by the seaside, as well as breathtaking views of the Atlantic and Table Mountain from the top of Signal Hill. And with the buzz of Cape Town's City Centre also close by, we can't think of a more central spot.

Adventures may be right on your doorstep, but you'll need a cool and contemporary place to return to after a long afternoon on your feet. This apartment is the ideal antidote – picture breezy living spaces, stylish bedrooms and a glossy kitchen that makes self-catering a dream. There's also a balcony where you can catch the last of the evening rays – although it overlooks the hustle and bustle of the street, we still think it's an excellent spot to share a bottle of South African Pinotage as you plan tomorrow's itinerary. You'll also find a communal pool on-site, perfect for a quick morning swim before heading out for the day.
