Cape Town Waterfront Property Rentals

Cape Town used to be very much a port city but over the years highways, container terminals and oil storage tanks separated the city from the sea. The V&A Waterfront development has reunited the citizens of the city with their maritime heritage.

It has been inspired by (but is not a copy of) the Sydney and San Francisco harbour projects. The waterfront development has been a huge success with restaurants, shopping centres, hotels, offices, an aquarium and residential developments having transformed the once bleak landscape into a popular tourist destination.

The Waterfront provides a variety of entertainment for the whole family from buskers, street entertainers and festivals or lively music at the open air Amphitheatre. There are also eleven cinemas including the Imax. Historic buildings, walks, tours, boat trips and harbour cruises, helicopter flips, seaplane rides, a working brewery and numerous restaurants.

The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront also provides the opportunity for serious shopping. It's sumptuous blend of Victorian architecture, maritime tradition, and African culture ensures a shopping environment that is lively and cosmopolitan. The stylish Victoria Wharf boasts over 240 unique retail outlets that offer a vibrant mix of luxury items, designer brands, and craft emporia while the Alfred Mall offers a more traditional selection of art, antique, and jewellery stores for the discerning shopper.

On weekends and during holidays, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has an extensive programme of events and activities to capture the imagination of visitors of all ages. Visitors to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront will not have to search for entertainment. It will surround them. From street buskers demonstrating the art of mime or musicians performing anything from Southern Jazz to traditional South African folk songs, entertainment keeps the Waterfront alive.

Some of the best-known examples of adaptive re-use for old buildings are found at waterfront developments around the world, and the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is no exception, where the historic dockland is being transformed. The Waterfront is one of the few Victorian harbours still in existence in the world.
