V&A Waterfront is now back in the hands of South African owners

Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront is now back in the hands of South African owners and there are plans afoot to expand and develop the Clock Tower area , which will bring a new offering to tourists and visitors alike.  The Clock Tower side of the V&A Waterfront is where the ferry departs for the Robben Island museum – previously the prison where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated during the apartheid years. There are restaurants, shops and a beer house on what used to be an old wharf and many will fondly remember Bertie’s Landing, a famous landmark where friends gathered for sundowners.

There is a foot bridge leading from the Clock Tower to the largest sector of the V&A, which opens periodically to let yachts through into the marina.  Sweeping around this yacht marina lies an impressive development of apartment buildings which have become a truly exclusive address for people to live at.  But not all are lived in permanently and many are managed on a hotel-style basis where guests can stay for just a day or two. This self catering option of accommodation at the V&A Waterfront is perfect for families, where four or six people can stay altogether, suite style, at a reasonable cost in a home atmosphere. But with 4 and 5 star grading, this home from home experience is truly luxurious as the apartments are beautifully decorated and very well equipped. As they are privately owned, each one is individually decorated and exclusive. - the name of this apartment complex - guests can walk into the V&A past the dry dock, see fishing boats and ships in for repair, and from there enjoy all that the V&A Waterfront has to offer.  Then add to this luxurious accommodation, dedicated underground parking, 24 hour security, pools and a gymnasium and the Marina really does have it all.

The V&A Waterfront is one of the world’s most beloved developments, with shops, restaurants, cinemas, craft and art galleries and hotels in abundance and is a “must do” for all visitors to Cape Town, not just once but time and time again. Take in a movie, or a sunset cruise – there’s something for everyone.
