Overlooking the Cape Town harbour and world famous V&A Waterfront, the area known as De Waterkant is known for its original Cape architecture. In this quiet neighbourhood many of the streets are still cobbled and the tree-lined avenues are full of residents promenading and chatting.

DeWaterkant lies just below the historic Bo-Kaap area and originally housed a combination of freemen and slaves. Today it is one of the most fashionable destinations in Africa.

Within walking distance to the newly built Cape Quarter shopping centre - where you will find restaurants, bars, deli's, coffee bars and shops - there is also easy access to the waterfront (4 mins), the Cape Town International Conference center (3 mins) and the center of town (4 mins).
