Just a stone's throw from the gleaming V&A Waterfront, Lawhill Luxury Apartments are seated along the canal of a private estate. There are 30 pristine apartments to choose from starting with one-bedrooms and going up to top-tier penthouses - and each has a balcony with a view. The property is well-attended and has plenty of features to make your stay a breeze including a 24-hour concierge, laundry facilities and secure basement parking. From the estate's central location, it's more than easy to head out on a day of exploring to nearby gems like the Two Oceans Aquarium and Cape Town's many 5-star restaurants.
From $130 person/night
Waterfront, Cape Town, South Africa
The interiors are rather lovely with crisp white furnishings that showcase large paintings inspired by scenes of nature.
If you'd rather skip an outing to the grocery store and get straight to enjoying Cape Town, the staff can have your apartment fully-stocked when you arrive.
The estate is just outside of the city's heart so it's easy to get comfortable in your apartment, but don't let it stop you venturing out to see the real Cape Town.
Lawhill is set along the polished V&A Waterfront, not far from the Yacht Marina and plenty of places to dine out. The comfortable estate has manicured grounds complete with tropical palms and bridges over the central canal. Dotted between the apartments, you'll find five inviting pools and a gym with top-of-the-range equipment. The estate is well-tended and secure with card-access facilities and a central reception to see to your daily requests.
With light, neutral interiors, the apartments at Lawhill come with everything you need. The fully-equipped kitchens have all the mod cons (including washing machine and dishwasher) with a dining area to boot. The spacious lounges have an L-shaped couch, a glass coffee table and open onto the furnished balcony. A selection of the larger apartments come with a plunge pool while the penthouse has a well-sized pool, private lift and gas braai. The en-suite bathrooms have marble counters and a deep bathtub.
Cape Town needs little introduction but it is a whirlwind of a city with tons to do. Head down to the marina for a boat trip to the famous Seal Island or a sundowner cruise. Take your pick from the city's myriad wine farms, from global names to family-run vineyards. A stroll down Long Street will reveal world-class restaurants, quirky boutiques and art galleries to enjoy. Or take the historic route to the city's museums and monuments.
