In an area rich in multi-cultural history, this chic apartment offers all of the comforts of contemporary living without sacrificing the building's heritage. If you're looking to experience the city, coastline and mountains all in one, Cape Town is the place to be. Close to the lush greenery of The Company Gardens and surrounded by towering mountains, the roof deck is the perfect spot to enjoy views over the city's diverse landscape and even catch a sunset. Go for a swim in the shared pool or simply relax on a sun lounger - either way, the scenery is spectacular. With an array of restaurants, bars and coffee shops close by, there's an eatery to satisfy every craving – spend a day exploring the shops before stopping for a caffeine fix. Head home to take a relaxing bubble bath before heading back out for sushi and a few cocktails. If you'd rather have a quiet dinner at home, the kitchen has everything you need to whip up a culinary masterpiece - why not try some local recipes? Dinner is best enjoyed on the dining table, of course, which affords views over the city.
