Embrace Cape Town’s historic side with a stay in a heritage building by the sea. Once part of Sea Point farm, this Victorian apartment has a pretty bay window with a sprawling reading nook in the sun. It’s a cosy little bolthole for two, surrounded by greenery for secluded afternoons on the veranda’s sofa and a wood burner inside for the winter months. From the bedroom, double French doors lead to an outdoor dining area amid the trees. Want to explore? Sea Point’s buzzing promenade is just 500 metres away and the beaches of Clifton are a five-minute drive.
