The Rock Apartments
Waterfront, Cape Town

Situated between the city centre and the V&A Waterfront, these Cape Town serviced apartments are convenient for those who need business travel accommodation or a short let apartment whilst on holiday.

Set within De Waterkant Village, the area is quickly establishing itself as trendy and popular hotspot with a variety of stylish retail stores, restaurants, coffee bars and nightlife. The apartments are also just twenty kilometres from Cape Town International Airport.

The development has been designed to have an upmarket, industrial New York feel with textured raw rock, brick and plaster that is set against smooth glass and tempered steel. These one and two bedroom apartments include contemporary decor and furnishings, full kitchens, wireless internet and balconies with views of Signal Hill, Table Mountain, Cape Town Harbour or Greenpoint.

The property features an indoor pool, gym/wellness centre, twenty-four hour security and secure parking. There is also a doctor on call, twenty-four hours a day.

Cape Town on the southern tip of Africa is the legislative capital of South Africa, where the National Parliament and many government offices are located. Cape Town is famous for its harbour and natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including well-known landmarks Table Mountain and Cape Point.

Cape Town originally developed as a station for Dutch ships sailing to the east before the advent of the Suez Canal in 1869. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival here in 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in sub-Saharan Africa.

The centre of Cape Town is located at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula. Table Mountain forms a dramatic backdrop to the city bowl, with its plateau well over 1,000m high. There are 70 peaks over 300m within Cape Town's city limits. Many of the suburbs of Cape Town are on the large plain of the Cape Flats, which joins the peninsula to the mainland.

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, built on top of part of the docks of the Port of Cape Town, is now one of the city's most popular shopping venues, with several hundred shops and the Two Oceans Aquarium. Part of the V&A's charm is that the Port continues to operate and visitors can watch ships enter and leave. The V&A also hosts the Nelson Mandela Gateway, through which ferries depart for Robben Island.

Travellers arriving at the International Airport (Africa's best) should use only Touch Down Taxis, the officially authorised airport taxi company.
