With an enviable location close to the water and the popular Sea Point Promenade, this funky studio apartment boasts fabulous views over Cape Town's hilly landscape – including Signal Hill and Lions Head. With just a short walk, you'll find yourself amid the action of Queen's Beach, with its sugary soft sands and wealth of cafes, bars, and bustling eateries for you to choose from. Stroll over to the famous V&A Waterfront, or – for something truly magical – take the ten-minute drive to the iconic Table Mountain. Of course, there'll be plenty of opportunity to soak up that South African sunshine too. Among our favourite beaches must be the incredible golden sand shores of Clifton Beach and Camps Bay. Newly renovated and fully equipped with everything you could need during your stay (despite its compact studio size), this apartment has its own unique quirky feel – thanks to the fabulously retro touches and distinct design aesthetic that set it apart. Its spaces feel bright and welcoming, whilst the large sliding doors leading outside coupled with plenty of interior wood accents create a sense of the boundaries between inside and out being blurred. Open the doors from the living room and step... out onto the lovely balcony, one of two in this split-level apartment, where you'll be greeted by a great view and the warmth of the South African sun. Where better to fire up the barbecue (or the Braai, as the locals would say) and enjoy an evening of deliciously fresh food, accompanied by crisp Cape wine and one-on-one conversations with your nearest and dearest? During your stay, you'll also have access to a fantastic indoor gym that offers beautiful mountain views, so you can work up a sweat whilst distracting yourself with that mesmerising vista!
