About this property

Deluxe Apartment in De Waterkant. WiFi included

This designer apartment has been newly transformed to take full advantage of the fabulous large balcony that transforms the living space.

Facing north, this private apartment on the 2nd floor of The Rockwell is protected from the Cape Town winds and is lovely and sunny in winter, yet cool and eternally liveable in the summer. With a Balinese divan and a dining table outside, this apartment is all about making the most of Cape Town and the outdoors.

The air-conditioned interior was designed by a renowned interior designer with a retro feel. It complements the Rockwell’s 1900s New York inspired architecture. The retro design makes full use of the interior space and flows easily into the protected balcony area. There are nice views across the De Waterkant area to the harbour and Cape Town Stadium.

There is a full kitchen and a washer and dryer to provide all the conveniences of home. The apartment also has an espresso machine and an ipod/iphone docking station.

The Rockwell complex was inspired by the early 1900s architecture of Manhattan, and is surrounded by delightful sidewalk restaurants, bars, art galleries and quaint boutique shops. The complex has a stunning seven story interior atrium and luxurious fittings throughout. It also boasts a gym and an indoor, heated pool.

De Waterkant is the trendiest neighbourhood in Cape Town and one of the most exclusive. The apartment enjoys an enviable location in the heart of the city without actually being in the CBD (which virtually closes down on weekends). From the apartment, you can easily walk to most major attractions of Cape Town. The CBD is just a couple of blocks, The V&A Waterfront (shops, restaurants, bars, coffee shops and Robben Island) is only minutes away, and there's an excellent supermarket across the road.
The CTICC (Convention Centre) is nearby. You can easily walk to the new Cape Town Stadium and Cape Quarter’s lively restaurant and café scene is just one block away.

If you have a car, the apartment has an assigned, underground secure car parking space with lift access into the building. Security is of the highest standard at the Rockwell with 24hr security.

This privately owned apartment is managed by a high-end corporate agency who only deal with luxury rentals. They will meet all guests on arrival at The Rockwell and do all possible to ensure your stay in Cape Town is amazing. They also provide a complimentary weekly housekeeping service.

This apartment has been oficially graded as 4-star by the Tourism Grading Council of South Africa.

WiFi is included. It's fast, fibre internet access.

I'm more than happy to offer guests tips on the area and can recommend some amazing restaurants (that you'll need to book ahead for).


* Please note that this is a private residence in The Rockwell building and is not part of The Rockwell All Suites Hotel & Apartments. As a private resident you are invited to use the pool, gym and restaurant and bar, but bills cannot be charged to the room.

* Services like room service, a daily maid, bellboy and luggage storage are for hotel guests only.

Comfortable, cosmopolitan perfection
We spent a week at this spot and really couldn't have been happier. The unit was wonderful... useful kitchen, comfortable living area, wonderful outdoor patio to use on the nice days, and a very cozy bed and linens to rest in after a day of sightseeing. You can't beat the location either, whether it's restaurants, a bit of nightlife, or easy access (on foot or by cab) to the Waterfront, CBD, or upper Long/Loop Streets. The security of the building helped put us at ease, and the parking was a great bonus too. But what really made this great was Jenny... she's very helpful, approachable, and quick-to-address questions or issues. For all the convenience and the price, this is unbeatable and sure to make your stay in Cape Town!

Excellent for 2 people and great in-city location
My wife and I had a delightful time in Cape Town and staying in 216 Rockwell for a month. The apartment is well designed/maintained and works well for 2 people. We used the balcony to have 2 guests for dinner several times. We used the hotel lobby area to purchase coffees with free WIFI most mornings. The pedestrian way next to the Rockwell has 3 excellent restaurants. The Rockwell is only a block from Cape Quarter (SPAR) and also Somerset Rd, on which we took long walks to Green Point and the ocean.

Our stay in De Waterkant
Fantastic apartment, wonderful location and very helpful staff at The Rockwell. Our first visit to Cape Town, but we hope it won't be our last. Jenny was so helpful with all aspects of our visit - despite the many emails I drowned her with! The bars, restaurants, shops in the Cape Quarter were excellent - literally a stone's throw from the apartment. With Jenny's help and guidance coupled with excellent taxi support from Unicab, we would definitely visit again.

Fantastic in every respect
We stayed for a week as our introduction to South Africa and it was fantastic. Everything is exactly as shown on the website. The area is perfectly safe and secure, and we particularly liked the fact that this is a private apartment within a boutique hotel complex - so we had every facility and all the benefits of 24 hours reception/security. The hotel staff could not have been more pleasant, friendly or helpful. The In the City people who manage the apartment were also good to deal with. They organised a complimentary clean and linen change half way through our week's stay. The area is full of excellent shops, bars, cafes and restaurants. We were spoiled for choice. Jenny was a delight to work with - all her communications were prompt and comprehensive - and her notes on what to see and do in Cape Town were an added bonus. She was very reassuring about our safety concerns. Everything in the apartment is of top quality - and everything works! The Spar supermarket in the Cape Quarter met our every need for self-catering. The location is excellent for most of the key attractions - either an easy walk, or a cheap taxi ride. Without hesitation we would strongly recommend this apartment to another couple, or a single person - and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Excellent Apartment
As others have stated , this is a well situated apartment. Everything one needs is within safe walking distance including a market and numerous restaurants. The property is well kept and clean. Having a washer and dryer is a great help. Relaxing out on the balcony after a day of sight seeing was great. The apartment is just as described by the owner. Both the owner and her management company who met us were outstanding.

Hiya
I'm an Australian girl who had been coming to South Africa since 1994 for many, many trips. Finally decided that I might like to spend some more time here. I figured a year maybe. But that was more almost 8 yrs ago :)

When in CT, I like to take advantage of the awesome food and wine, and the outdoorsy lifestyle which is so like my hometown (Sydney). The beaches are beautiful (but the water is way too cold for me), and there are some stunning drives nearby.

Other than that, I love to grab my tent and pop off and explore Southern Africa. (Namibia is gorgeous, Kgalagadi is my favourite area and Zambia is on the bucket list.

I love it when people come to South Africa and Cape Town (especially for the 1st time) and are 'converted'. They're a little dubious before their trip... but then they always get slammed by the "Africa bug" and are hooked.

Why they chose this property

I purposely chose De Waterkant (and especially The Rockwell) as it has such an awesome location.

As a foreign girl on my own, I was a little anxious at first. But there are so many great cafes, shops, restaurants, bars etc within a safe walking distance - that this was perfect. And the Spar (supermarket) across the road is fantastic.

I've had this apartment since 2009, but have since bought 2 others in the building (in 2013). I didn't even consider anywhere else!

I had a great time doing them up, playing with the décor and getting them right for my guests... with things that I would like in my home.

What makes this property unique

Promise the apartments are really great. And you just can't beat the location.

I use a property management company who are extremely professional. So even if I'm not in town, you'll have someone 'on call' 24/7.

I have a little 'scribble doc' with loads of the things that I like to do in and around CT. I usually just send it to friends coming over - but I'll happily share it with you. It's just a mix of touristy and local things that I like to do. It might give you a few ideas of things to do.
