Gorgeous loft in trendy De Waterkant, Table Mountain views, no load shedding!
Location, location, location!! Centrally located and close to the V&A Waterfront, this luxury loft, with sweeping views of Table Mountain is the perfect choice for a city break. Most of the Mother City's attractions are within walking distance. Trendy restaurants, bars, and shops are within a stones throw. Bree St, famed for it's culinary delights is just a few mins walk, as is Long Street. Reliable 100mb unlimited fibre WIFI, a proper office chair and work desk for the remote workers, Air Con, Smart TV streaming Netflix, washer/dryer, outdoor swimming pool, secure parking, 24hr security/reception desk. Being on the city grid, the apartment never experiences any power cuts so no pesky load shedding!! As well as for leisure, this is the perfect place to work from home.
I have tried to think of everything that will make your stay as convenient and 'home from home' as possible. All you should really need are your clothes!
The kitchen is large, fully equipped, and loved by people who cook – it has everything you need. Tea and delicious freshly ground coffee is complimentary, and for those that can't go without it, there is a Nespresso machine!
The open plan living/kitchen/dining area opens up onto a spacious private balcony with outdoor seating. The luxurious bathroom has both bath and shower, with free toiletries and plenty of soft fluffy towels.
Stairs lead you up to the mezzanine level loft bedroom with extra length, top of the range, pocket spring Serta kingsize bed. Quality linen, and luxury pillows ensure that you will have a good nights rest. Plenty of cupboard space for your clothes.
It really is hard to beat the location, the block is nestled between the uber cool De Waterkant Village, the City Centre and the Bo Kaap. Loads of top rated restaurants are within a stone's throw, the super cool Bree Street, Heritage Square, and the Cape Quarter are 5 mins walk. Long Street and the heart of the Bo Kaap 10 mins walk, V&A Waterfront 15 mins walk. Company Gardens, the museums and CTICC 10 mins walk. To get to the beaches or the Cable car, you can hop on a MyCiti bus, or take a 10 min taxi ride.
I have put together a comprehensive guide, (like a mini Lonely Planet!!) to help you get the most out of your stay with hints and tips of what to do/where to eat etc. I can also put you in touch with an excellent private tour guide if you wish to do some tours (the Winelands and Cape Peninsula via Cape Point a must!!) With super easy access to the main highways, you will be at the airport in 20 mins, and 35 mins you will be in the heart of the Winelands.

The apartment was wonderful -- exactly as described and shown in the photos and absolutely spotless. Claire, our host, had kindly left us a bottle of South African wine, which was a lovely welcome gift. And the location couldn't have been better: walking distance to shops, cafés, restaurants and bars and to many points of interest, including Bo Kaap and the V & A Waterfront.
Really loved this space. The view is spectacular, the layout is cool, the location is close to everything. Just a great spot. The washer /dryer didn’t dry but there was a drying rack so it wasn’t a big deal. We would definitely stay there again.

Thank you so much for your lovely review Donald, and for bringing the issue with the dryer to my attention. This has now been repaired and is in perfect working order again. I’m so happy that you enjoyed the apartment and look forward to hosting you again!
The place was perfect - everything went very smoothly, even though we got in very late at night, since there is a security guard there all the time, so we were able to pick up the keys. The place itself is gorgeous with an amazing view of Table Mountain, and very spacious and clean. There is even a soaking tub! We also really appreciated there was a washer and dryer as we stayed for around 10 days. Highly recommend!
It is exactly as it looks on the website, beautiful view of the mountain. The apartment has everything required for a holiday stay. Ideally situated for the hop on off bus, which is a ten minutes walkaway, twenty five minutes easy walk to the Waterfront. Supermarket and beer/wine store across the road. Claire has been really helpful, plus all the information needed about the area and apartment has been provided. Can't fault it, enjoy your stay!
We had a great time during our stay here. The apartment was clean, and spacious. It had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend this place to others visiting Cape Town.
Waking up to views of table mountain. Everything is within walking distance! The apartment itself is spacious and fully self- contained. Claire was really helpful and responded quickly to our queries.
Eine tolle kleine Wohnung direkt im Zentrum von Kapstadt.
Die Wohnung ist super ausgestattet, uns fehlte es an nichts.
Der Blick von der Terrasse auf den Tafelberg ist einfach grandios. Claire hat 2 große Mappen mit hilfreichen Tipps zusammengestellt. Bei unserem nächsten Trip nach Kapstadt ist das Apartment unsere erste Wahl.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Claire’s apartment - ideal for my wife & I visiting Cape Town for the first time (hopefully we can return at some future time). Similar to other reviews posted, communication with Claire was simple & very helpful throughout.
Good location if catering for yourself, supermarket (Pick n Pay) together with well stocked wine/beer merchant (Bar Keeper) located directly across road. We walked within CT during daylight hours, however definitely recommend using Uber in evenings if planning to head out to restaurants etc.
We used CitySightseeing multi-day bus tickets which were great value. Building security helpful & available parking within apartment block a great bonus.
Heerlijk appartement met goede bedden en uitzicht op de tafelberg! Veel tips over restaurants en bars aanwezig in het apartement!
Ingang zit op Rose Street en omdat wij Strand street hadden opgekregen, lastig te vinden. Parking prima en prettig verblijf!
Ontbijten bij "Truth" om de hoek was geweldig.
This really does look like the photos. You do get fabulous view of Table Mountain and its table cloth. Clair is very responsive as a host and the apartment is excellently well maintained. It is very secure and within easy reach of the facilities if you are comfortable walking...or 5 minutes in an Uber taxi.
We really enjoyed Charles's cafe for breakfast which is 3 minutes walk...Clair's recommendations are worth wading through and taking note of.
Wir haben 4 wunderbare Tage im Loft verbracht. Es ist super ausgestattet, für 2 Personen geräumig groß und der Blick auf den Tafelberg und sogar einige der Bo-Kaap Häuser ist super. Durch die Lage im CBD ist es am Abend leider etwas weiter bis zu den Restaurants / Kneipen.
Wir würden aber jederzeit wieder kommen!
Die Wohnung ist in eine sicheren Viertel und wird zusätzlich 24h überwacht.Von der Tiefgarage aus kann man direkt in die Wohnung.Vis a Vis hat es einen supermarkt wo man einkaufen kann.Zur Waterfront kann man laufeb,wir haben jedoch immer das Auto genommen da wir erst im dunklen zurück kamen.Der Schnitt der Wohnung ist speziell,einzig der etwas längere weg zur toilette war nachts für mich ein wenig mühsam.wohnung ist aber definitiv weiterzu empfehlen.
I enjoyed my recent stay at this property. It has a great view of Table Mountain, and was very comfortable. The complimentary bottle of local wine was also an appreciated extra. One thing I didn't expect was that the bathroom and bedroom are on different floors. This was not obvious from the otherwise accurate photos. While this wasn't a big problem, I think potential visitors should know this before booking. As for the location, it was satisfactory but not exactly in the heart of the tourist streets making walking to/from restaurants not convenient. My contacts with the owner were easy and most helpful. I would recommend this apartment to travelers looking for a nice, clean place in Cape Town, as long as they realize that walking to places is not recommended after dark.
We loved our Oasis in Bo-Kaap
Great amenities and lovely home and views !
We found close by great shopping, restaurants and near by to everything!!
Lovely comfy King bed in the loft was so quiet !!
Claire’s apartment is very nice, clean and comfortable. There is a view of Table Mountain but unfortunately the view is dominated mostly by the large building across the street. The upstairs bedroom is very comfortable with a king size bed and beautiful linens but the lack of an upstairs bathroom can prove difficult if you have to get up during the night. The location is very good considering we walked to the Victoria and Albert dock and a Pick N Pay grocery store was across the street. We enjoyed our morning coffee at a Seattle Coffee shop on the street below us. Claire was very easy to correspond with and left us a lovely and welcoming bottle of wine. All in all a great place to spend a few days in Cape Town. We would highly recommend.
This was a great place for us to spend a few days upon our arrival to SA. The front desk staff were extremely helpful in getting us settled, parking the car, and familiarizing us with the neighborhood. We really appreciated the warm welcome!
We enjoyed the neighborhood restaurants and walking distance grocery.
Everything was as listed, very secure building, had a problem with the door lock, but security was there to help

About the host
Hosted by Claire Parrish
I am originally from Newcastle in the North East of England. After living and working in the corporate world in London for 6 years, i decided i needed a break. I enrolled on a volunteer program which enabled me to work with lions in Zimbabwe, and then at a health clinic in Zambia. It was in Zambia that i knew my life had to change, it seemed to me, that in Africa you could be whatever you wanted to be! I was allowed to help deliver babies, was a lab technician, amongst other things, and also in the afternoons i taught kids English.
At the end of the volunteering, i joined an overland tour which ended in Cape Town. I fell instantly in love with the city and decided i would live there. I had no clue what i would do when i moved, but things fell into place instantly and i started modelling and acting in TV commercials. I have now lived in Cape Town 7 years, and can truly call it my home. I spend any of my free time hiking on the mountain, i love living so close to, and having access to such beautiful nature.
Why they chose this property
When i first arrived in Cape Town i stumbled upon De Waterkant. I loved the quaint cobbled streets and felt like it was a secret place i had uncovered. The original Cape Quarter was just the piazza, and of course since then it has been extended and grown into a delightful hip and trendy area loved and known by all.
What makes this property unique
I actually looked at many properties in the area, but my favourite block was Soho on Strand. It seemed quiet and tranquil considering it was in the middle of the city and with the huge glass windows in every foyer, the views were stunning. I loved the double volume loft style, and the apartment just had that special feel.
