You'll find this stylish studio among the multi-coloured buildings and cobbled streets of Cape Town's Bo Kaap neighbourhood. With a rich and highly significant past, this is the place to discover a piece of the Mother City's history. If you're thinking that a studio apartment might be lacking in amenities, you couldn't be more wrong about this one. Flex your culinary muscles 'til your heart's content in the contemporary kitchen, then enjoy your meals on the private balcony - the simple bar-style seating facing out onto views of Cape Town makes it feel as though you've got a slice of the city all to yourself. Head up the roof deck and you'll find all that you could ever need for a relaxing escape. The shared pool affords yet more spectacular views of Table Mountain. If you fancy seeing the famous landmark up close, it's just a short drive away - we'd highly recommend renting a car and seeing the sights at your own pace.
