Hotels

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.

Live & Work

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.

Discover Granger Bay

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.

South Africa’s most significant World Heritage Site is accessible by ferry from the Nelson Mandela Gateway. A fully guided 3.5-hour tour that walks you through the country’s path to democracy.

Some places carry the weight of history differently. Robben Island is one of them.

Ferries depart daily from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the Clock Tower, carrying up to 150 passengers on the 30-minute crossing. The 3.5-hour tour includes a bus ride past the lime quarry, the kramat, the leper graveyard, a church designed by Sir Herbert Baker, and the former maximum security prison. A former political prisoner guides part of the tour.

The triple-storey Nelson Mandela Gateway museum, connecting the V&A Waterfront to the island, includes exhibitions, an auditorium, a museum shop and several eateries.

Book in advance as this is one of the most sought-after experiences in Cape Town.
