Cape Blue

Located within a luxurious complex close to Cape Town’s Business District, this is the sort of panoramic-viewed apartment you imagine when you think of Cape Town. Set in the beating heart of the city centre, this home provides a perfect base if work is on the agenda while also offering easy access to the city’s highlights.

There's something instantly comforting about the interior – neutral hues, plush furnishings and drenched in light from the floor-to-ceiling windows. You'll find that it's easy to switch off once inside, whether you're reclining on the sofa with a glass of Chenin Blanc, rustling up dinner in the dynamic open-plan kitchen or admiring the city vistas from your bathtub. If you’re here on business, the bright living space is a peaceful spot for emails – your only distraction will be the views.

As is often the case with Cape Town, there are a couple of perks in the building. Start the day with a sweat session n the gym or enjoy a few laps of the indoor swimming pool before springing off for meetings or sightseeing.

Elsewhere, the cultural institutions of De Waterkant take less than ten minutes to reach in the car – make sure to visit the Iziko Bo-Kaap Museum and Goodman Gallery. The V&A Waterfront is located nearby too – so be sure to share after-work cocktails along the glistening seafront.
