Tucked away on one of Cape Town's trendiest streets, surrounded by delicious restaurants and super hip cafes, this thoughtfully designed studio provides the perfect base from which to explore the South African capital's art scene. Inside, this home has everything you need. Large windows frame spectacular views of the neighbourhood and beyond, whilst the earthy colour palette and rich textures create a natural-yet-luxurious feel. If you're on a solo trip, there are plenty of opportunities to socialise in the communal lounge areas – make yourself a hot drink and sink into the large sofa to admire the scenery from the window. There are also communal workspaces on offer, ideal if you're on a business trip or happen to be feeling inspired while you're there. Pop out to grab a New York bagel and high-end coffee before setting up your laptop in a cosy booth. When evening falls, head up to the roof deck to enjoy a drink under the leafy pergola and gaze upon the city below, or fire up the braai if you're keen to get stuck into a South African tradition. We highly recommend heading to one (or two) of Harrington Street's stylish cocktail bars - Harrington's Cocktail Lounge is considered one of the best in the city.
