Cape Town Apartment: Harbour Edge 101

This Accommodation in Cape Town is ideally located right at the heart of the Central Business District- Harbour Edge provides an alternative to the generic accommodation that one often expects from all the big hotel names that are found in the same area. This part of the CBD is particularly popular as it practically sits on the doorstep of the Cape Town International Convention Center (CTICC), and is only a few blocks away from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. Officially located in Green Point with all its trendy bars, restaurants, coffee shops and boutiques, Harbour Edge enjoys the best of all worlds- practically everything one could need is within walking distance. 

Green Point is proud host to one of the 2010 World Cup Stadiums and is only minutes away from the Atlantic Seaboard beaches where white sand and an additional array of busy cocktail bars, restaurants and clubs can be found. The neighbouring district of De Waterkant, with its cobbled streets, colourful houses and hidden gems is also an enjoyable walk away. In the opposite direction, Long Street with all its famous boutiques, antique stores, bookstores, clubs, coffee shops and restaurants cannot be missed as one of the most famous areas of Cape Town – for locals and tourists alike.

The apartment is large enough for a family and has various luxury features- like a wraparound balcony (that can be partially enclosed with foldable blinds) with city views, air-conditioning, a large plasma screen in the living room and one of the bedrooms, and a fully-equipped kitchen that enjoys views of Signal Hill. Visitors can enjoy home-cooked meals under the city sky on the private balcony or walk a few blocks away to one of the many top restaurants that South Africa has to offer.

The apartment is tastefully decorated in an afro-chic style that has become so popular with style icons- modern glass and chrome finishings are contrasted with neutral shades and african wooden sculptures made in North Africa. The windows have been double glazed to ensure minimum sound from the adjacent road which has also been considered in the price as a compromise.

The apartment also enjoys the convenience of two underground parking bays- incredibly hard to come by in this area- and 24-hour security for peace of mind.

This Accommodation in Cape Town is located at the De Waterkant district which is venue to some of the city’s best restaurants, bars, boutiques, coffee shops, and museums. Guests will find whatever they’re looking for right on their doorstep, or mere minutes walk away. Many of the quaint streets are cobbled and steep and a variety of secret finds are hidden under old trees and behind renovated buildings and makes for an enjoyable adventure. 

Those on business will appreciate the close proximity to the Cape Town Convention Center, while the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is only 5 blocks away, Camps Bay beaches 10 minutes drive and the cableway up to Table Mountain also only 10 minutes drive away. 

Soho is also conveniently near to all the city’s main motorway, and the Cape winelands is only a 20-minute drive away.
