We stayed for 3 nights in this apartment that is located right next door to the marina area. The staff are available 24/7 and so helpful. Parking is in a secure garage. There are key cards for moving in and out of the property so very safe. It is a 5 min walk to the marina area and 5 min more to the VA Waterfront. So many dining and shopping options nearby that our car stayed parked for the entire time. The apartment is not huge but perfect for 2 people. It had a beautiful large balcony overlooking the canals, a nice seating/dining area inside and a small kitchen with washer/dryer. Linens/bedding/towels all very nice, bed was very comfortable and bathroom quite large. Overall, this is an exceptional property in the perfect location, very safe, and I would highly recommend it while visiting Cape Town.
