This New York-inspired apartment, located in the heart of De Waterkant is an idyllic place for a couple or solo traveller to base themselves as they explore all the wonders that this vibrant city has to offer. A short walk from some of Cape Town’s iconic landmarks, this sleek pad is an idyllic space to return home after a day admiring the city’s emerging artists at Goodman Gallery, just a short walk away. Stretch out in the contemporary whitewashed living room, where a stylish wall of abstract artwork constitutes the perfect background for the plush sofa. It’s here we imagine you’ll enjoy turning the pages of your holiday a leisurely breakfast or make it your workstation for the day. Our favourite feature has to be the two balconies – Wake up to the early morning sun over the city with your morning coffee and fall asleep to its twinling lights from your plush bed. There’s plenty to do here, so why not make the most of it? Go for a scenic stroll along the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap, popping into the cultural institutions before grabbing a bite to eat in one of the ambient and upscale eateries along the V&A Waterfront. With all the city’s major attractions – think the Iziko South African Museum, Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, and Table Mountain – within easy reach, this is the perfect spot for anyone looking to experience all Cape Town has to offer.
