Apartment in Cape Town
Reasons to book
About this apartment rental
Pius Pahl designed this corner of Cape Town in 1960-something, and it still hasn't aged. Company's Garden literally across the road. Museums, galleries, theatres, Kloof Street's many cafés, Long Street's best nightlife—all on foot. Table Mountain, Clifton, the Waterfront? Fifteen minutes away.
This is where Cape Town happens. And you're in the middle of it.
Fifty square metres of considered design. Queen bed in quality linens. Private balcony that actually overlooks something worth looking at. Flooded with natural light, cleverly laid out so the sleeping area feels separate from the kitchen—open-plan without the compromise.
Full kitchen: oven, stove, microwave, air fryer, the works. Smart TV with all the apps. Actual workspace (because sometimes you work, sometimes you don't). Walk-in shower. Uncapped Wi-Fi that doesn't quit. AC and heating for Cape Town's confused weather.
Everything considered. Nothing excess.
What You Get…
The whole apartment. Private balcony. Step outside and find a beautiful communal garden and pool—proper spaces for actually stopping. The kind of courtyard where you sit with coffee and remember why you came to Cape Town. After hours of walking the city, this is where you exhale.
Digital lock, elevators, 24-hour security. You show up, we handle the boring stuff.
Why This…
Cape Town has thousands of Airbnbs. This isn't one of them.
This is a Bauhaus address where the quiet is real, the location is uncompromised, and the design is effortless. Walk to everything that matters. Retreat to somewhere actually peaceful. Photograph everything you see. Sleep properly. Sit in the garden. Pool when you need to decompress. Actually live here for a few days.
The kind of place where everyone who sees your photos asks where you stayed.
This is where the people who know Cape Town choose to stay.
Guest access…
The whole place is yours—balcony, kitchen, everything. When you want to step outside the bubble, there's a glorious communal garden and a swimming pool worth lingering by (check the access times at the gate).
