Close to the colourful cottages and quaint cobbled streets of Cape Town's iconic Bo Kaap district, this lovely two-bedroom apartment borrows a little of the neighbourhood energy to create an eclectic space that's an absolute pleasure to spend time in. Large picture windows in the living room and main bedroom frame your 14th-floor views, looking out over the base of Signal Hill towards Green Point. When you're not gazing out at the view, take time to appreciate the unique artworks adorning the walls and the stylish furniture that fills the home. Away from the open layout of the living area and kitchen, one king-size en-suite room and another double bedroom offer you soothing spaces to unwind at the end of an exciting day of exploring everything Cape Town has to offer. In addition to strolling the historic streets of Bo Kaap, you'll find the vibrant nightlife of De Waterkant and the enticing eateries and independent boutiques of the V&A Waterfront within walking distance. Alternatively, jump in the car for the short drive to the picturesque city beaches at Clifton and Camps Bay.
