Enjoy a safari escape in the city at this modern apartment in Cape Town's De Waterkant district. With tasteful nods to South Africa's enchanting wildlife, natural scenery and "the big five" – the space offers a unique stay far away from the realms of your everyday lifestyle. Take in stunning views of Table Mountain from the balcony with a glass of South African wine in hand while plotting your next adventures in the city. Whether you choose to perch outside with the view or inside, sprawled across the comfortable lounge seating area – kicking back, switching off and unwinding should be a breeze here, especially with Netflix on the TV and a lavish soaker tub in the main en-suite. And when you are ready to put your exploring boots on, the V&A Waterfront and Cape Town Stadium are located within walking distance, alongside the trendy coffee shops, bars, restaurants and boutique stores of De Waterkant. Then hop in the car to check out the city's iconic Clifton beaches, Camps Bay and, of course, Table Mountain.
