Luxury Apartments – A Great Alternative To Hotels

2  comments

July 22, 2013

There is no shortage of swanky hotels or luxury apartments in Cape Town.

But how about something different for your next trip to the Mother City? Booking an apartment or a private villa is a great option for guests looking for more flexibility and privacy. Think: total freedom, privacy and 24 hour service without the need for a “Do not disturb” sign on your door. These apartments are great for families or small groups and can also be a very cost effective option allowing you to self-cater.

African Elite and the Lawhill Luxury Apartments are two of our favourite portfolios. Both offer a spectacular selection of properties in Cape Town.

Luxury Apartments in Cape Town – our Selection

Most of the properties in the African Elite portfolio are located in and around De Waterkant – a vibrant area surrounded by restaurants not too far from the Waterfront

The minute you are handed the keys you will feel in total control. Depending on your needs, you can choose to stay at one of their apartments inside the Cape Quarter shopping centre.

But don’t let the word shopping centre put you off. It’s a small centre – giving you access to a post office, cosy restaurants and a pharmacy.

You can treat the apartments as a B&B by including a breakfast charge to your room. The breakfast basket has everything you need, including fresh fruits, a cheese spread and freshly baked croissants.

Around the Cape Quarter there are several stand alone apartments with private swimming pools, braai areas and bigger balconies. On a great day you can relax by the pool and enjoy a BBQ or a home-cooked meal.

If the life size paintings at reception don’t wow you the view of the Waterfront will… Lawhill Luxury Apartments  offer all the great comforts of being in the V&A Waterfront while still being affordable.

You not only have a great view but also private access to the Waterfront Mall for dinners or any other activities you might want to indulge in. Choose one, two or three bedroom apartments.

And if you’re not sure how best to spend your day, there’s also a concierge desk to help you plan your activities. You can book yourself a day at the Spa at the One&Only or book a Yachts and explore the ocean.

There is satellite television, under floor heating, air conditioning and wireless internet access. Some of the apartments even have private pools.

  • A luxury private villa in invariably features a swimming pool, sun deck, semi-open living environment, fully equipped kitchen, exclusive bathroom facilities and air-conditioned bedroom/s. A villa in is a cost effective holiday option for families with children or a romantic sanctuary for couples and honeymooners…Great sharing…
