Live your best Cape Town city life at this elegant serviced apartment with a showstopping rooftop pool that's set in the trendy pocket of De Waterkant. Dive into its charming, cobbled streets alive with happening coffee shops, bars, restaurants, and boutiques to soak up the vibrant atmosphere of this district. And when it’s time to immerse yourself in Cape Town's natural beauty, take your pick from the dizzy heights of Table Mountain or the pristine sandy shores of swanky Clifton and Camps Bay – all just a ten-minute scenic drive away. Back home, this minimalist apartment has a cool, loft-style feel with its steel-framed, dual-aspect windows revealing views of De Waterkant’s rooftops outside. Gloriously pared-back and clutter-free, the industrial-style living area is set up for easy socialising. While your nominated chef of the group rustles up brunch in the sleek kitchen, you can keep them company perched at the breakfast bar or spill out onto the modular sofas with a chilled Mimosa. Then chase the sun to the communal rooftop pool, with its sweeping views towards Table Mountain (best seen at sunset) and stylish shared terraces and barbecues to grill and chill.
