Neighbourhood

Just minutes from the city centre and the ever-popular V&A Waterfront, the famous cobbled streets and colourful houses of De Waterkant echo the adjoining Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, originally built to house Cape Town's slaves. There is plenty of space in the sun at cheerful corner cafés and busy restaurants, while buzzing bars and nightclubs come alive after dark, giving the area a vibrant energy. A short drive takes you to the Table Mountain Cableway or the beautiful Blue Flag beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton.
