De Waterkant Village
The new gay precinct and epicentre of style, De Waterkant is a transformation of District Five - part of the old Cape Malay quarter - into a tasteful mix of luxury apartments and boutique hotels, glamorous sidewalk cafés and a feast of restaurants, bars and late night venues.
At the foot of Signal Hill, this (anything-but) square mile of cobbled streets and colourful flat-topped apartments overlooks the foreshore, the harbour and the V & A Waterfront.
The village is a delightful muddle of restored properties, up-market deco-type businesses, and a thriving hospitality industry catering exclusively for its gay residents, regulars and visitors.
Ridiculously well-positioned - you’ve got to hand it to the queer nose for real estate – the best of Cape Town, including the famous beaches [Clifton & Camps Bay], is a five-minute hop and skip away if you’ve hired a runabout. The walking-fit can reach the Waterfront, City Bowl and Sea Point without too much strain and if you can’t be bothered with all that, there are other easy ways to scour the town.
