Just a short drive from Table Mountain and with Clifton and Camps Bay beaches within easy reach, this cosy home drops you into the heart of Cape Town. As you’d expect with a studio, space is limited here but you’ll find everything needed for a comfortable stay. The views from the private balcony aren’t the most awe-inspiring, but it’s still a pleasant spot for morning coffee, and when it’s vistas you’re after, just head up to the shared rooftop terrace. Whether you’re cooking on the barbecue or swimming in the communal pool, the city stretching out before you is captivating.
