This gorgeous apartment is a great gateway to all the wonders of Cape Town. With space for up to four guests, it's a great pick for two couples or a small family excited to explore the South African city. The interior is thoroughly modern, with a soothing colour scheme and plenty of natural wood. You'll love getting comfy on the sofa with a glass of local wine after a busy day. When hunger strikes you can cook up a storm in the kitchen, or head outside to fire up the barbeque for an alfresco feast. Best of all, you'll have your very own plunge pool – there's no better place to cool off when the temperature rises. The apartment is located in the suburb of Bakoven, close to the chic Camps Bay neighbourhood where you'll find one of the area's best-loved beaches. Active guests can hike up the Lion's Head and Table Mountain – or, if you prefer a more relaxing time, take the cable car for stunning views. Foodies will be delighted by the offerings at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront, while history enthusiasts can visit the fascinating Iziko South African Museum and the District Six Museum.
