This compact apartment, located on Clifton 2nd Beach, offers superb views of the South Atlantic Ocean and a homely, fuss-free atmosphere.

The open-plan living space with its comfy sofas and neutral colour scheme is the ideal place to kick back with a glass of natural wine while watching the tide ebb and flow through the floor-to-ceiling windows. Catch up with your loved ones over plates of bobotie rustled up in the fully-equipped kitchen before slipping on your flip-flops and heading down to the seafront.

After sunning yourself on the pristine sand, take the fifteen-minute drive into the heart of Cape Town for a history lesson at the District Six Museum. Peruse the artisanal stalls in the Neighbourgoods Market, pore over the works in the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art and soak up incredible vistas from the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway – it’s particularly special at sundown.
