Sitting high up in Bo Kaap with stunning views over the city, this apartment pops with happiness with brightly coloured exterior walls which are so typical of this area. Step inside and the colours are more subtle, with the occasional feature wall or soft furnishing brightening the otherwise neutral palette. With exposed concrete, simple lighting and a practical kitchen, this home isn’t all bells and whistles. It typifies sleek industrial design, giving it a less polished, more edgy appearance – but, still somewhere you can retreat to after a day out exploring Cape Town and instantly feel at ease. Both bedrooms and the living area boast generous sliding doors that take you out onto the large balcony. Whether you stroll out here with your morning coffee or take in the cityscape at night with a glass of wine, the view can’t fail to impress you. Cape Town stretches out below all the way to the ocean and you’re even blessed with unspoilt views of Table Mountain. If wrap-around views are more your thing, head on up to the rooftop terrace where you can take in the sights from the cool comfort of your communal swimming pool. With the South African sun warming your skin, you’ll feel a calmness wash over you, high above the hustle and bustle of the Mother City.
