De Waterkant is an easy walk from the buzzy waterfront, Greenpoint bars, the gay village area, the city and the many café bars, shops and art galleries in De Waterkant itself. From here it’s a quick 10min taxi/bus/drive to Clifton and Camps Bay beaches by day - and an easy stroll, or short taxi ride, to many Cape Town hotspots by night.
Historical cottages in the area have all been restored to modern day splendour and are rented out as self-catering holiday accommodation by a reception office in the area. Holiday units vary from 1 to 5 bedrooms/bathrooms with spacious lounge/dining areas, fully equipped kitchens, crisp bed linen, fresh towels and a weekday cleaner service.
Most cottages offer an outdoor patio, balcony, courtyard or sundeck - some with private pools or jacuzzi's - and some with spacious rooftop decks affording panoramic views across Table Bay, Table Mountain, the harbour and the city below. The perfect setting for your own sundowner party...

two FULL DAY tours to consider - guided or self drive
1Drive from the city along the N2 freeway and bear right onto the M3 freeway at the foot of Devil's Peak. You will be passing the turn off to Kirstenbosch Gardens and onwards, pass Constantia and Tokai, to the end of the freeway. Turn left at lights and right at next set of lights. Soon after, turn right onto BOYES DRIVE (stick to the speed limit!) for panoramic views across False Bay (Indian Ocean side) and surfers' paradise, Muizenberg, below. At the T-junction traffic light at the end of Boyes Drive, see the Kalk Bay harbour ahead and turn right. Continue along this scenic and winding coastal road and follow signs to Simon's Town. Just before exiting Simon's Town, look out for the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony parking area on the left - from where you walk pass a variety of artefact stalls to the reserve's entry gates. After the penguins, head further south to spectacular Cape Point itself and RETURN to the city via Scarborough, Misty Cliffs (surfers' paradise), Kommetjie, Noordhoek and it's Farm Village. From here cross over the hair raising (toll gated) Chapman's Peak Drive before stopping for a late afternoon seafood lunch - on the airy verandah of the Chapman's Peak Hotel - on the right as you enter the village of Hout Bay. From here it's an easy 25minute and very scenic coastal drive, pass glamorous Llandudno (sensational beach) and through Camps Bay, back into Cape Town - literally a day trip right around Table Mountain! And as a bonus - from July to November this route also offers whale watching along the way!2Guided day tours to the winelands are available but, as it has SO much to offer, we DO suggest renting a car for an easy 1hour self drive trip into the winelands and staying in Franschhoek for 2-3nights. Most importantly, pre-book all your favourite restaurants WELL IN ADVANCE as the winelands has now perfected the art of the elegantly shaded garden lunch. In spectacular surrounds - with distant views - and fabulous food. Once dinner/lunch reservations are done, you'll be free to explore the beautiful valleys and visit a few of the many wine tasting estates dotted around a mosaic of vineyard landscapes - mostly backed by dramatic mountain ranges. From an astonishing Motor Museum to a breathtaking vegetable garden, from picking your own strawberries in season to the quirkiest of art galleries, shops, cafe bars and farm stalls. For a listing of our favourite wineland estates, restaurants and places to visit, scroll down our WINELANDS page.
