Cape Town apartments and accommodation – the list is endless. Searching through lists of areas and tiny pictures, how on earth are you going to really find what it is you are looking for?
Especially if this is your first visit to Cape Town, you need to narrow down what sort of attractions and type of holiday you are looking to take. For instance, are you going to have a hire car at your disposal, or are you going to need to be close to the action so that a short walk can find you in the heart of things?
So much to think about, but let me help show you around this beautiful city and introduce you to some activities you might like to consider doing whilst in Cape Town, so that your Cape Town apartment or accommodation can really enhance your experience.
Cape Town is not a huge city, but does offer a myriad of different experiences, from city living to seaside holidays.
One of the most well known districts of Cape Town is the Waterfront, where the world comes to visit! The cosmopolitan array of shops, restaurants, entertainment and culture is an easy step away from a large choice of apartments and accommodation.
The Rockwell, De Waterkant
I like the apartments, as they place you high above the hustle and bustle, with spectacular views across the city to mountains, sea and even, in the distance, the vineyards of the Western Cape’s famous wine estates.
Here, in this city location, you are able to stroll through the city streets, window shopping and enjoying the ambiance.
From the Waterfront you have options to take a ferry over to Robben Island, exploring the history of Nelson Mandela, take a sunset cruise around Table Bay or simply watch the street entertainment from your restaurant perch under a stripy umbrella.
If on the other hand, a gentler pace of life is your idea of heaven, consider a Cape Town apartment overlooking the sophisticated Camps Bay area, away on the southern side of the city. Although only a short distance from the centre of town, you would still need some form of transport to explore either the Waterfront or city centre.
Cloud 9, Camps Bay
This lovely region will host you in luxury, in a home-from-home environment overlooking golden sand beaches, close to the extensive range of restaurants and cafes that serve the area. An eclectic mix of shops can also be found here that cater for most tastes, which is definitely more family beach holiday orientated than city living.
Perfectly positioned Cape Town apartments, allow you to explore the whole of the Cape Point region – how about swimming with the penguins down at Boulders Beach? Or taking the Flying Dutchman funicular railway up to the highest point at Cape Point, with panoramic views over the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, to discover that the railway takes its name from the ghost ship of local legend.
