Protea Point

Situated on the north-facing slopes of Signal Hill, this three-bedroom Green Point apartment offers breathtaking views over Three Anchor Bay, Green Point Park and the V&A Waterfront, and just a short drive from the spectacular Clifton and Camps Bay beaches – it's the perfect base for your Cape Town escape.

The apartment offers an abundance of space and style throughout. From the large covered balcony, the home flows through sliding doors into a stunning living and dining area equipped with two separate seating areas, a marble-topped dining table and rattan pendant lights that lend a warm glow. The kitchen is kitted out with everything you could need for a self-sufficient stay. However, it may not see much use with many of the city's coolest cafes, hottest restaurants and vibrant bars within walking distance.

Elsewhere, three en-suite bedrooms ensure no one will be left feeling as though they've drawn the short straw. The main bedroom certainly stands out with its in-room bathtub and panoramic windows. Finally, a separate study rounds out the offering – ideal for those who might want to fire off a few quick emails before breakfast.

Home truths:
*The apartment is accessed via stairs only, so it may not be suitable for guests with more limited mobility
*We'd recommend hiring a car to explore the city suburbs – there's secure garage parking available
*There is air conditioning in the main bedroom only
