"The Waterfront Apartments are some of the best-value well-located properties we sell in Cape Town. Any waterfront property charges a surcharge for location alone, but these apartments offer one- to three-bedroom set-ups in a prime location for a good price. Perfect for families."

OVERVIEW:

We love these apartments for their location and affordability. The only downside is that not all of them have swimming pools – this can be a real letdown during the summer months, for families especially.

ACCESS & LOCATION:

Situated on the water's edge in the V&A Waterfront Marina.

ACCOMMODATION & FACILITIES AT WATERFRONT APARTMENTS:

All apartments are booked on a self-catering basis. Breakfasts can be added on if guests prefer, but with so many amazing restaurants nearby plus a full kitchen most guests are happy to make their own arrangements. There are also apartments located in the town center and in the De Waterkant area, should you prefer not to be located in the Waterfront. These 1-bedroom to 4-bedroom apartments are spacious and decorated with bright colors and modern furniture.

ACTIVITIES AT WATERFRONT APARTMENTS:

The apartments are located within walking distance of restaurants, nightlife and shopping. Just like in a hotel, there is a concierge service and daily housekeeping.

It doesn't get any more central than this. Our two-bedroom condo at the heart of the V&A Waterfront enabled us to make the most of our two short days in Cape Town. The condo was spacious, attractive and had fantastic views.

Excellent location for exploring the waterfront - we loved the balcony and sitting outside for breakfast and having the freedom that self catered apartment allows
