The philosophy and vision of a real travellers’ village was first realised in De Waterkant. The initial cottages called Harbour View Cottages, Cape Town’s First Guest Street, has now become a village and has grown to over 40 participating properties. It still boasts original cobblestone streets, spectacular views, and brightly painted houses from the nineteenth century add to its unique flavour.

De Waterkant Village offers a variety of fully serviced, luxurious self-catering houses, studios, rooms, crash pads and guest houses. Properties have fully equipped kitchens, and offer luxuries like roof-top decks, splash pools and fireplaces. The Cape Quarter shopping centre, city, restaurants and fashionable nightspots are all within walking distance. For your convenience, it has centralized reception and concierge services, offering guests a distinctly Cape experience and true village hospitality.
