The Western Cape region

The Western Cape is the area most frequented in South Africa. It is very diverse in culture and offers a landscape that changes by the hour from the ocean to the winelands to the farm lands and to the desert, diverse in caves with ancient rock art. All these star studded attractions are within a very short driving distance from 1 to 3 hours. We are very blessed here in Cape Town to have both a West and East Coast that are very different in contrasts and engulfed by both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean. The climate is very Mediterranean with mild sunny winters and balmy summer temperatures with cool breezes and starry nights.

The Cape Town / Green Point area

Cape Town proudly represents the world renowned NEW 7th Wonder of the World, Table Mountain. The top of Table Mountain can be reached by cable car or by hiking up on one of the numerous trails. The views from the top of the mountain are unparallelled.
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is within a 10 minute safe walk. Here you can find designer shops interspersed with local craft, cinema's, the Two Oceans Aquarium, five-star hotels, live entertainment in the amphitheatre and a variety of restaurants and bars catering for every palate. It is also the gateway for ferries to Robben Island where former President Nelson Mandela spent 27 years in jail.
The new Cape Town Stadium which hosted a number of 2010 FIFA World Cup soccer games is diagonally across from The Legacy.
Cape Point is the southern-most tip of Africa and well-worth a visit.
The Bo-Kaap, home to the first Cape Malay slaves, is a 10 minute drive from the apartment and tours of the suburb gives an interesting insight into the early days of slavery in Cape Town.
Local tourism agencies provide tours to nearby game reserves offering the big 5 and shark cage diving on the East Coast.
A trip to Robben Island to visit the jail where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated during apartheid provides a chilling insight into the life of this international icon.
World class wine estates and vineyards are located within a 45 minute drive from the apartment.
Organic food and craft markets abound in the City and its suburbs.
Blue flag status beaches are also within easy reach.
Green Point and Cape Town central offer great nightlife, cafes and restaurants, all within walking distance from the apartment.
Join the many locals who take an early morning or late afternoon stroll on the Promenade, a 10 minute walk from the apartment.

“Luxury at an affordable rate” Perfect home away from home. Great location, beautiful, sparkling clean apartment with everything one could possibly need and more! Loved the extremely generous welcome pack too!

“The most perfect place to stay in Cape Town” This apartment at The Legacy, a new apartment block, which is ideally located opposite Greenpoint Stadium. The property is a stone throw away from trendy cafes, great take-aways and supermarkets, all... more

“Fantastic place to stay in Cape Town.” The apartment we had at the Legacy building was superb. The attention and care we received from the owner, Graham, was amazing. He had flowers, breakfast food, nuts, sweets, milk, juice, muffins etc all ready for us when we came. The location was exceptional - a short walk to many places of interest like the waterfront and CBD, and the value for the money we paid was brilliant. Get in touch with Graham if you are going to stay in Cape Town - a real gem.

“Should have stayed longer” This apartment was a really great find - really great value - and somewhere we would seriously consider returning to (and to think we nearly didn't book because Graham has a funny email address and we thought he might not be legit!) The location overlooking the stadium and urban park in Greenpoint was great for us. My husband and I were travelling with our baby and took a two day pass for the tourist bus, which was really relaxing way to get around with a pushchair. The bus stops on the other side of the urban park, on the promenade, so it was an easy and very pleasant walk back to the flat. The flat is also walking distance to the Waterfront, city centre and some great neighbourhood restaurants (we particularly enjoyed Big Route, a pizzeria that may have some unusual topping combinations, but is wholly authentic in the way it makes the pizzas). A lot of effort had evidently been expended kitting the flat out with not just the usual - in high quality form - but all manner of helpful unexpected extras - ball game, beach towels, bedside torch, clothes washing powder (in contrast with the Greek villa I once stayed in that didn't even give you a dishcloth) and an above and beyond welcome food pack. Graham was really helpful recommending restaurants and providing wifi support (the block's wifi wasn't iPad-friendly we discovered, but it didn't really matter as most restaurants and cafes have wifi) and flexible about the check out time, inviting us to leave our luggage if we wanted to on the morning of departure while the flat was being cleaned for the next guests. The flat is as high spec as it looks in the pictures - all swish and mod cons - with, for instance, double-tracking blackout and privacy curtains. It's pretty roomy - definitely plenty of space for a couple and baby with lots of luggage. And even with a cot up in the bedroom we didn't feel cramped. There's a great roof terrace on the block (not for vertigo sufferers!) as the photos also evidence with stunning views and a groovy plunge pool and impressive-looking (we didn't get to try them) bbq facilities. The only thing approaching a criticism I can come up with is that my husband, who is 6 foot 3, found the bed a bit on the short side.

“Excellent, modern well equipped apartment in great location” Very modern apartment equipped with everything you will need. The views from the sun deck on the roof of the stadium and waterfront are wonderful.

“Excellent Cape Town base” On arrival to Cape Town we stayed at the Legacy for two nights. Graham was very accommodating and welcoming - the substantial welcome pack of food was much appreciated - I ate the Granola every day for the next two weeks! Graham also kindly let us check-out later in the day as there was nobody staying the following day - much appreciated. The apartment was stylish, spotless, well equiped and had great views from the roof. We were able to walk to the V&A and to the seafront so couldnt have asked for a better location. Overall we were very impressed and Graham was a pleasure to deal with - the apartment made for a great, secure place to explore Cape Town before we continued on towards the Garden Route. Many thanks Graham.

“Great location, amazing flat/facilities and great value for money!” The landlord/owner Graham was great - he looked after us from the moment we arrived and until we left. He was more than happy to give advice on what to do, where to eat etc. The apartment itself is great with modern and very comfortable furnishings. It's compact, but perfect for two people. Location is ideal - as central as you could want and has the added benefit of underground secure parking and also access to a rooftop BBQ terrace/pool area. I will definitely be staying at the apartment again when I'm next in Cape Town. Thanks Graham! Response: Hi There Many thanks for taking the time to add to our valuable and vital review portfolio. We enthusiastically look forward to your return, only in our second year, it is wonderful to have repeat clients staying and spreading the word. Please do try and stay longer next time, Cape Town has so much more to offer and many unhidden treasures still to be discovered! Regards Graham
