De Waterkant Village


The new precinct and epicentre of style, De Waterkant is a transformation of District Five - part of the old Cape Malay quarter - into a tasteful mix of luxury apartments and boutique hotels, glamorous sidewalk cafés and a feast of restaurants, bars and late night venues.

At the foot of Signal Hill, this (anything-but) square mile of cobbled streets and colourful flat-topped apartments overlooks the foreshore, the harbour and the V & A Waterfront.

The village is a delightful muddle of restored properties, up-market deco-type businesses, and a thriving hospitality industry catering exclusively for its residents, regulars and visitors.

Ridiculously well-positioned - one has to hand it to the queer nose for real estate – the best of Cape Town, including the famous beaches of Clifton & Camps Bay, are a five-minute hop and skip away if your clients have hired a runabout. The walking-fit can reach the Waterfront, City Bowl and Sea Point without too much strain and if they can’t be bothered with all that, there are other ways to scour the town with ease.
