About this property
Fabulous 1-Bedroom De Waterkant Apartment
This fabulous apartment has been newly transformed to take full advantage of the lovely light and views from the 5th floor.
Facing north, this private apartment in The Rockwell is protected from the Cape Town winds and is lovely and sunny in winter, yet cool and eternally liveable in the summer. With a Balinese daybed and a coffee table outside, this apartment is all about making the most of Cape Town and the outdoors.
The air-conditioned interior in shades of white and green is cool and crisp and beautifully complements the Rockwell’s 1900s New York inspired architecture. The clean design makes full use of the interior space and flows easily on to the balcony area. You're above the roofline and there are lovely views across the De Waterkant area to the harbour and Cape Town Stadium.
There is a full kitchen and a washer and dryer to provide all the conveniences of home as well as a Nespresso machine.
The Rockwell complex was inspired by the early 1900s architecture of Manhattan, and is surrounded by delightful sidewalk restaurants, bars, art galleries and quaint boutique shops. The complex has a stunning seven story interior atrium and luxurious fittings throughout. It also boasts a gym and an indoor, heated pool.
De Waterkant is the trendiest neighbourhood in Cape Town and one of the most exclusive. The apartment enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the city without actually being in the CBD. From the apartment, you can easily walk to most major attractions of Cape Town. The CBD is just a couple of blocks, The V&A Waterfront (shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and Robben Island) is only minutes away, and there's an excellent supermarket across the road.
The CTICC (Convention Centre) is nearby. You can easily walk to the Cape Town Stadium and Cape Quarter’s lively restaurant and café scene is just one block away.
If you have a car, the apartment has an assigned, underground secure car parking space with lift access into the building. Security is of the highest standard at the Rockwell with 24hr security and a 24hr staffed front desk.
WiFi is included. It's fast (fibre) internet access.
The apartment is privately owned and is managed by a high-end corporate agency who only deal with luxury rentals. They will meet all guests on arrival at The Rockwell and do all possible to ensure your stay in Cape Town is amazing. They also provide a complimentary weekly housekeeping service.
I'm more than happy to offer guests tips on the area and can recommend some amazing restaurants (that you'll need to book ahead for).

Great Location walking distant to most everything
We stayed here for 6 nights in December on the last leg of our African trip. The location was fantastic; easy walking distance to the water front and to the downtown area. There are many very good restaurants and coffee shops within walking distance too. The building is very safe with a secure parking spot for the car rental.
When we arrived, our representative met us at the apartment and went through everything we needed to know about the apartment and the location we were at. She was very friendly and thorough. The apartment was very clean and well equipped; has everything you need, along with a view of the harbour. Love the mirror on the deck.
The best part was Jenny; she made every effort to make sure our visit was enjoyable...and it was awesome! Thank you Jenny!

A lovely apartment perfect for exploring Cape Town
A comforable spacious apartment located within an easy walking distance to The Waterfront and the city centre.
Lots of lovely coffee shops and restaurants nearby, the Cape Quarter shopping mall is just a cross the road from the apartments with a handy Spar and coffe shops!
We picked up a car on arrival at the airport and met a representative at the apartment who showed us to the secure parking place then round the apartment. They were very pleasant and helpful.
The area felt safe to explore during the day and taxis no problem at night.
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and will hopefully return.

Great place in a fab location!
We stayed here for 4 nights in August. We really loved the neighborhood and felt like we were so lucky to have found it! It is a relatively small place but it has everything you need- kitchen, comfortable bed, clean bathroom, and a balcony to look out over Cape Town. We felt 100% safe, and centrally located. The Turkish restaurant across the street (Anatoli) was delicious and a great bargain!

Perfectly located apartment in Central Cape Town
The apartment was everything I could have wanted with all modern amenities, but the stand out feature is Jenny the owner who was on hand for advice and guidance to ensure your stay is wonderful.
The location is fantastic with great restaurants within walking distance, and minutes from down town, the Water Front and Sea Point. I without question would stay here again when next in Cape Town, and for anyone wishing for a central, good value apartment with all amenities, this is a great choice
