V&A Waterfront Property - Real Estate

V&A Waterfront property is not only historical, but is also known for the area's chic restaurants, designer fashion boutiques, bustling harbour, luxury yachts and the street theatre. The Waterfront is named after Queen Victoria and her son Alfred. It dates back to 1860 when the first break water basin was built but found to be too small, so a second basin was built and named after Queen Victoria. Today many of the old historical buildings remain, which only enhances the unique atmosphere of this area.

The prestigious Victoria and Alfred Waterfront Marina property district has been architecturally designed to encompass the sweeping views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, with canals to the Harbour and walkways connecting the residential area to the V&A Waterfront Shops, Cinemas, Restaurants, The Shed Craft Market, Two Oceans Aquarium and Cape Grace Hotel. Charters by boat to Robben Island and romantic Sunset Cruises are just a few of the attractions that this most frequently visited tourist destination has to offer.

Over the last 140 years the harbour area has changed significantly, with the redevelopment of the land and surrounding buildings. The culmination of the building of V&A Waterfront properties brings to an end 30 years of developing and upgrading of this area.

Internationally regarded as Cape Town's premier address, and in its final stages of construction with the release of the final units underway, these sought after apartments are in extremely high demand and viewed as some of the most desirable properties in the world. Units in Kylemore and Lawhill, the last of all twelve blocks, are currently being released. Guests staying at the Waterfront Village can reach over 400 stores, award-winning restaurants, boat trips, 14 cinemas, an amphitheatre and much more, all by foot.

Located within the V & A Waterfront is the exclusive One and Only Hotel, the first luxury hotel to have been built in the Cape Town property area in the last 10 years. This hotel is the epitome of opulence and fine living.

The V & A Waterfront has an abundance of activities to keep one entertained. As one strolls around the harbour it is not unusual to see Cape fur seals resting on the seal landing at the Clock Tower, or sunning themselves on old tyres which line the quayside.

The Two Oceans Aquarium is undoubtedly a huge attraction for children, with a large child play area as well as windows to the displays located at the right height for them to view the abundance of underwater attractions. The Maritime Museum showcases the history of shipping as well as displaying the largest collection of model ships in South Africa. The V&A Waterfront offers something to suit everyone's taste and style, making it Africa's most visited tourist destination.

The development and upgrading of this whole area has had an impact on the surrounding areas of Green Point, Mouille Point and Sea Point, which has led to an increase in V&A Waterfront property values across the Atlantic Seaboard.
