Description Whimsical Wetlands: Cape Town

Overlooking the majestic greenery of Intaka island, this contemporary apartment invites guests to enjoy the best of both worlds as it perches in a peaceful setting – yet remains close enough to the action of Century City and the likes of Canal Walk shopping centre (a kilometre away).

Dressed in neutral hues and sumptuous furnishings, we love the warm ambience felt here. And with plenty of house plants and those fabulous views of the surrounding wetlands, it's easy to forget you're city location. Whether you're sprawled across the couch, rustling up some homemade delights in the kitchen or soaking up the scenery on the balcony with a glass of South African wine outside – feeling at home comes easy here.

When you're refreshed and restored, the sights of Cape Town await around 12 kilometres away. Just hop in the car and venture to your chosen hotspots. From Table Mountain to Lion's Head and a multitude of fabulous beaches, shops and restaurants – you'll find something for everyone with this home as your base.
