Whoever coined the phrase ‘A view to rival all others’ had obviously
just checked out of 1610 @ 117 on Strand. This luxurious triple-storey
Penthouse has the whole of Table Mountain as a backdrop. And in the
foreground is the joyful exuberance of the vibrant Bo-Kaap’s colourful
homes.
The Space:
Filled with original artwork and design, the creativity that is
quintessential to Cape Town is on full display in this magnificent
apartment. On entering you will have to take a moment to catch your
breath and adjust to the views. Once you have fully recovered you can
step inside this gorgeous 16th floor Penthouse, with its private
internal elevator and artfully curated spaces spread over 3 levels.
Ground Floor:
* Entrance coffee nook filled with original art.
* Separate guest facilities.
* The study is en-suite and has a daybed that folds open into a
double bed.
* The lounge is the gorgeous stuff of dreams! An utterly opulent,
glass-encased space with top-end local designer finishes.
* The spacious open-plan kitchen has a huge kitchen island that seats
eight and comes fully equipped with high-end appliances and all you
can possibly need to cook up a feast. I mean, you are on holiday
and this is Cape Town so you really shouldn’t. But it is your
holiday, so you decide.
* The separate scullery has a wine fridge, washing machine, dryer and
dishwasher.
Upstairs:
* On the second floor you have a lounge that is as colourful as the
view so you’ll probably forget to glance at the TV! However, if you
do, the modern Android UHD TV has access to all major streaming
channels.
* The sumptuous master bedroom has a huge dressing room, walk-in
shower and a bath floating above the Bo-Kaap. Seriously. You may
never want to leave that bath.
* The two guest bedrooms both offer double beds, air-conditioning and
en-suite bathrooms. And happy dreams guaranteed.
Third-Floor Deck:
* Don’t spill even a drop of your drink and take the elevator up to
its final destination on Cloud 9. Here you’ll find a sundowner spot
that will ensure Cape Town holds a place in your heart forever
more.
THE Spot:
* Situated in the heart of the city and in the shadows of Table
Mountain, 1610 is set at the juncture of the quaint De Waterkant
Village and the vibrant Bo-Kaap.
* Created 600 million years ago, Table Mountain is home to the widest
variety of flowers and other plant life in the world, deserving its
status as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature.
* Established in 1760, so just a tad younger, the Bo-Kaap (‘Above the
Cape’ in Afrikaans) is a National Heritage Site and local treasure.
It is the oldest surviving residential neighbourhood in Cape nTown
and forms the historical centre of the Cape Malay culture.
* Our Penthouse is surrounded by Cape Town’s world-renowned cuisine,
local markets and an incredible array of galleries and enticing
shopping opportunities.
* It’s a 5 minute stroll to the Cape Quarter shopping hub which is
open 7 days a week with convenience stores that operate from 8am to
7:30pm daily.
* We are within walking distance of the bustling V&A Waterfront.
* Drive over the neck and you will find the legendary blue-flag
beaches of Clifton and Camp’s Bay within 10 minutes.
* And in less than an hour you can visit the Winelands of
Stellenbosch or Constantia.
The Block
* Guests will be given their own set of keys and have the apartment
to themselves.
* 117 on Strand has a 24/7 security controlled reception desk with
private access to the elevators only after first registering in the
reception lobby.
* The apartments are fully protected against load shedding and has
unlimited high-speed WiFi.
* You will have the use of two private indoor parking bays with
direct access to the elevators, again all monitored by private
security.
Other amenities include:
* We can arrange cleaning or laundry services upon request and at an
additional cost.
* Linen & towels as well as an initial supply of tea, coffee, sugar
and basic shower amenities are provided.
