Immerse yourself in the chic African design of a home with a personality to rival the most adventurous travellers for a great city escape. This home is a modern masterpiece in and of itself – the walls are clad with street photography by international award-winning photojournalist Ilan Ossendryver, with artworks and materials curated throughout the continent woven into the overall design. The contemporary and the traditional blend together seamlessly to create something one-of-a-kind, something well worth taking photos of and well worth staying in.

Whether you're here for leisure or business, this apartment has everything you need. Sit at the desk and catch up on some remote work, relax on the comfortable sofa and sit out on the private balcony with a drink and breathe in the fresh air. You'll be able to roll right out of bed and grab your morning coffee from the small-yet-capable kitchen and pull back the curtains to let the natural sunlight flood the apartment. Sip a cocktail on the 27th-floor rooftop deck, complete with a pool and open-air gym so you don't have to worry about missing a day of your workout during your trip. You'll feel on top of the world, surrounded by stunning views of the glistening ocean, Table Mountain and the night lights of the shimmering city below.
