Description Where There's Hope: Cape Town

There aren't many cities in the world that can equal Cape Town's boast of a mountainous national park on the edge of the centre and this natural asset makes for a rather stunning view if your windows face in the right direction. Thankfully, that's the case at this Century City apartment.

However, there's more to this home than the dramatic backdrop. The interior design is fresh and bright, with the combo of stark white walls and colourful artwork not dissimilar to some of the contemporary galleries found throughout the South African capital. We also like the generous amount of space throughout, whether in the natural-light-filled living space or the minimalist kitchen.

In local Century City, there's a wide-ranging selection of things to see and do that lie within walking distance of the front door, whether you're paying a visit to Intaka Island, trying on new outfits in Canal Walk Shopping Centre or relaxing in one of the spas. In addition, there are beaches and a golf course along the coastline, only a short drive away.

Home truths:
*The building has an elevator to reach this single-level apartment
*There's secure parking available for guests
*There's a dedicated desk here if you need to catch up on some work during your stay
