When they coined the phrase ‘A view to rival all others' they'd obviously just checked out of 1610 @ 117 on Strand. This luxurious triple storey Penthouse has the whole of Table Mountain as a backdrop. And in the foreground is the joyful exuberance of the vibrant Bo-Kaap’s colourful homes. Filled with original artwork and design, the creativity that is quintessential to Cape Town is on full display in this opulent apartment. On entering you will have to take a moment to catch your breath and adjust to the magnificent views. Once you have fully recovered you can step inside this gorgeous 16th floor Penthouse, with its private internal elevator and artfully curated spaces spread over 3 levels. Apart from our magnificent mothership we also own two twin studio apartments on the 14th floor, decorated in the same fabulous style. Together these three offer the perfect solution for those travelling in a group of family members or friends. Contact us for the links should you wish to have a look for yourself.

THE SPOT * Situated in the heart of the city and in the shadows of Table Mountain, 1610 is set at the juncture of the quaint De Waterkant Village and the vibrant Bo-Kaap. * Created 600 million years ago, Table Mountain is home to the widest variety of flowers and other plant life in the world, deserving its status as one of New 7 Wonders of Nature. * Established in 1760, so just a tad younger, the Bo-Kaap (‘Above the Cape’ in Afrikaans) is a National Heritage Site and local treasure. It is the oldest surviving residential neighbourhood in Cape Town and forms the historical centre of the Cape Malay culture. * Our Penthouse is surrounded by Cape Town’s world-renowned cuisine, local markets and incredible array of galleries and next-level shopping. * It’s a 5 minute stroll to the Cape Quarter shopping hub which is open 7 days a week with convenience stores that operate from 8am to 7:30pm daily. * We are within walking distance of the bustling V&A Waterfront. * Drive over the neck and you will find the legendary blue-flag beaches of Clifton and Camp’s Bay within 10 minutes. * And in less than an hour you can visit the Winelands of Stellenbosch or Constantia.
