The Lion & The Land

Ticking the box on location, this apartment is on the doorstep of some of Cape Town's favourites. The famous Clifton Beach is minutes away for anyone wanting to swim in the Atlantic, while Lion's Head has ample hiking trails – it's the one looming in the distance. Though the home doesn't have a garden or balcony, the windows open wide to let in the salt-tinged breeze and South African sunshine. The on-site parking is a plus, and the two en-suite bedrooms eliminate the need to share. Considering the surroundings, it's an ideal place to rest your head before taking off on an adventure.
