Neighborhood description
With its colourfully painted historic cottages and fresh leafy streets, this area is scenic and stylish while also being safe and central. The enclave of De Waterkant is sprinkled with restaurants, cocktail bars and trendy coffee shops. A small, lifestyle shopping centre ensures all conveniences are within easy reach, and there are clothing boutiques and art galleries to browse. Best of all, you can walk to anywhere you want to be in this thoroughly enchanting neighbourhood – and there’s always a view of iconic Table Mountain. You are also just a hop from the V&A Waterfront and endless other attractions in Cape Town. De Waterkant is, in truth, a modernised rendition of the Bo-Kaap and lies just next to this same suburb. This is a trendy area that has maintained, and even accentuated, the colourful, bright semi-detached houses - restoring them into fashionable cottages that, together with the cobbled, tree-lined streets and spectacular views, bring to mind New York’s Greenwich Village and London’s Soho. The De Waterkant Village - now as many as 80 properties within walking distance of restaurants, the Cape Quarter shopping centre and local entertainment - is regarded as a resort-type experience, although this does the charming, character-full village an injustice. The bright, 18th century cottages are given over to guest houses offering authentic ‘local’ living and nestling on the lower slopes of Signal Hill overlooking Table Bay. The Village of De Waterkant is essentially a business area during the day, where people live, work, lunch and shop, but by night it’s alive with energy and offers some of the city’s best restaurants, wine bars and delis.
