Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront feels like an opulent floating city within a city. You’ve got the striking heights of Table Mountain in one direction, the blend of two mighty oceans on the edge, and your apartment in the centre of it all. A twelve-minute stroll (or one kilometre) from Two Oceans Aquarium, this coastal abode allows for easy access to yacht trips, fabulous dining, and even watersports for the adrenaline seekers among us. Luckily you’ve got somewhere to relax afterwards. Modern and bright, this apartment is set on the ground floor of a shiny residential complex. With its own on-site gym and outdoor pools, you won’t be short of things to do. But the most wonderful thing about the setting is having gorgeous views of the marina right on your doorstep. With a leafy, green trellis shading your private patio, you can enjoy these vistas in serenity – with a glass of chilled South African wine in hand, naturally. In the evenings, relax on stylish, mid-century furniture in the living space. The mixture of wooden features, bright colours, and marble tiled floors creates a sophisticated yet playful feel in the lounge. And you might not even need to explore your kitchen, as... your host can arrange for a chef to come over and handle dinner. More wine?
