V & A Waterfront, Cape Town

Staying in the Waterfront means that you have restaurants, shopping and entertainment right on your doorstep! The Waterfront offers over 250 shops from designer boutiques to craft stalls, a host of restaurants and coffee shops and plenty of other activities, including fun activities for children. It's a great place to head to day or night as there is always something new on offer - from Jazz at the Green Dolphin to African choirs singing in the piazza.
