Wonderfully located in Cape Town’s chic, hillside De Waterkant district, this beautifully styled penthouse apartment invites you to unwind, relax and soak up the South African sun in comfort. We love the open-plan layout of this home, arranged around a central patio area decked out in a plunge pool and loungers. Accessed via the living area and bedroom, this privileged outdoor space is where you’ll want to spend chilled-out afternoons, catching some rays and cooling off in the sparkling pool. Go up the stairs and you’ll find a rooftop terrace too – the ideal spot for admiring city views over a sunset glass of wine. With a beautifully styled dining area and a gorgeous bedroom giving way to an en-suite complete with a rainfall shower and freestanding tub, you’ve got everything you need for a perfectly blissful stay. And when you’re ready to venture out for some exploring, you’ll find a plethora of fashion boutiques, commercial art galleries and global eateries in your De Waterkant locale. You’re also within walking distance of the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum, the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa and the bustling V&A Waterfront.
