A trip to Cape Town would be incomplete without a visit to this small, self-contained, colourful suburb. Take a step or two out of the rat race and languish in the sun here, amongst theatrical characters and café cultures.

The old cobbled streets of De Waterkant mirror how the whole of Cape Town once looked, back in the Victorian age where horse-drawn carriages were the only vehicle around. Nowadays, in De Waterkant, it is not unusual to see a Maserati parked next to a clapped-out VW Beetle. All types of people come to this suburb to marvel at the vibrancy and take in a bit of the culture.

With a variety of luxury multi-storey townhouses available for rent, all with the latest fittings and the finest views across the city, as well as guest houses and B&Bs, there are plenty of accommodation options to choose from.

Within De Waterkant village there are a number of boutique shops, restaurant cafes and some trendy bars you may wish to visit.
