A neighbourhood that’s yours to discover. From world-class museums and iconic attractions to harbour gems, there are memorable experiences around every corner. Whether it's your first visit or your daily fix, there's always a new reason to explore.
Expect the unexpected. From global brands to unique finds by local makers, there’s something for every shopper. This is world-class shopping with an African twist.
Our neighbourhood is the place to be! From seasonal events to top performances, there’s always something to look forward to. Find out what's on so you can plan your next memorable experience.
Hotels at the V&A Waterfront offer a unique experience inside a neighbourhood that has been alive for over 160 years.
From intimate boutique properties to five-star resorts, every hotel here sits within a working harbour, a creative economy, and a community where there’s always a reason to stay a little longer.
Wake up to the harbour and enjoy your favourite coffee spot as you experience the convenience of having everything within walking distance.
Living at the V&A Waterfront means living inside one of the most connected neighbourhoods in Africa, with everything that comes with it: security, convenience and a view that never gets old.
At the V&A Waterfront, people come together to work, visit, create and belong. More than a destination, it's a neighbourhood of opportunity, supporting 30,000 direct jobs and contributing R45.9 billion to the economy.
A new stretch of Cape Town’s Atlantic coastline is being opened up to the city. Over the next 15 to 20 years, this R20 billion-plus development will bring new homes, hotels, jobs, public space and a protected bay for swimming, kayaking and boating. A 540-metre seawall will help protect the coastline, while a new coastal walkway will connect the V&A directly to the Sea Point promenade.

Find our young entrepreneurs showing off their business flair over the Easter weekend (Saturday & Sunday). Our V&A Kids Market is an exciting platform for children to showcase their creative businesses to the greater V&A Waterfront community – and make money too! These markets provide a platform for kids to sell their handmade products, while learning what it takes to run a profitable venture from a young age and the kids had loads of fun doing it!
Our young entrepreneurs are excited to show and sell some of the cutest, tastiest and most creative goodies for you to enjoy!
Taking place on 16 and 17 April from 09h00 to 14h00, situated in Centre Court (outside H&M). Come down and support, they cannot wait to meet you! Please make sure to carry cash and cards as some of our participants will be taking cash, but will also have card facilities (Yoco included), Snapscan and Zapper.
See you soon.
