Locals use this mall as a stomping ground and meeting place, while the surrounding area is perfect to get to know Cape Town life a little better. The Waterfront hosts many accommodation options, from comfortable non-graded hotels to the opulent water's edge guesthouses.

The Waterfront is not just a great accommodation host, the very harbour on which these apartments and hotels are located should be an item on your list of things to see. The harbour itself was built in the late 1800s, and has since been excavated to reveal countless interesting facts about the area's past history. From a Battery to an isolation ward, a prison to a launching station, the V&A Waterfront's previous forms are as varied and as interesting as the shops it now houses.

Take a stroll through the stalls in the craft market, or sit at one of the many restaurants available in the mall or out on the boardwalk itself. The Two Oceans Aquarium hosts thousands of marine animals found in the oceans surrounding the Peninsula, while the jetty outside is used as a land base for Cape Fur Seals, a must see!

Make the V&A Waterfront one of your top areas to see while on holiday or, if you want to be closer to this amazing shopping arena, why not book into a V&A Waterfront accommodation such as the apartments or hotels? You won't be disappointed.
