Light, airy, stylish, and it has everything you need! This compact apartment is the perfect place to jump off and experience Cape Town. Stylishly appointed, it has that "sea apartment" feel with blues, whites and greens all over and light streaming in. Exactly like the pictures it comes with a pretty sea view from the balcony (and bedroom and bathroom windows) where you can enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee. With the pretty seashell-covered Bloubergstrand just a short drive away, as well as shops and restaurants close by, this is a serene and secure little area to be. There's also a park with a slide, climbing frame, and swings, just a short walk away that you can actually see from the balcony - if you do go there just definitely wear shoes as there are vicious caltrops all over the park area.
We had beautiful weather almost every day when we went towards the end of April, and the water restrictions were not as bad as you may have imagined. Showering while standing in a bucket with the on-off system (on - wet yourself - off - shampoo, soap, shave - on - rinse yourself), saving the water to help with flushing so you use grey water instead of white potable water, waterless hand cleaners at the shops... We saw the whole experience as an eye-opening realisation of how precious water is, how wasteful we all are, how much simple adjustments to our life can actually make a great impact, and this has stayed with us as we returned to Johannesburg. So don't let it put you off, let it draw you in and be a better person for it.
Just one note for couples - the adjacent room is joined by a common door so if you're highly aware of your privacy that is the only thing to consider (of course this is a plus for families wanting to stay together but have their own space).
