Nestled on the slopes of Signal Hill and overlooking Table Bay, exclusive De Waterkant lies in the historic Bo-Kaap area of the beautiful Cape and was built to house settlers and workers in the 1700's. Today the most fashionable destination in Africa.

The philosophy and vision of a real travellers’ village was first realised in De Waterkant. The initial cottages called Harbour View Cottages, Cape Town’s First Guest Street, has now become a village and has grown to over 80 participating properties. The portfolio includes a luxury 5 star backpackers lodge, crash pads, luxury houses and apartments and a manor house.

All properties are within walking distance to the newly built Cape Quarter shopping centre, the city, restaurants, bars and fashionable nightspots.

The hospitality concept is effectively a resort within a real, authentic ‘local’ living area.

The Villages is a daily celebration of real-life theatre. The villages is intimate, with all the necessary entertainment and services within walking distance of properties.

We encourage guests to feel part of the Villages and to enjoy real hospitality by creating activities to introduce visitors to the locals, their food and their lifestyles.

We call it... Village Hospitality!

Village Hospitality Services are conducted from a centrally located reception, which acts as the service centre, and this effectively allows for all the comforts of a hotel in your own home. The Village Hospitality concept offers guests a distinctive experience. All properties have been graded between four and five star by the tourism grading council.
