About the home

The first thing you notice with this apartment is the View: Table Mountain, Robben Island - all from the sunny balcony. The apartment is one of the only truly beach front complexes in Blouberg. Most other advertised apartments are 300-500 meters back from the beach.

15 minutes to Cape Town and the waterfront, and the same distance the other way to numerous wine farms.

The apartment is at the very highest end of the market, furnished to 5 star standards, with secure underground parking and every mod-con you will need to make your stay in Blouberg an exciting and memorable one.
You can enjoy your sundowners from the balcony which overlooks the golden sands of Blouberg Beach with views of Table Mountain and Robben Island. THE VIEWS REALLY ARE BREATHTAKING.

Flights from the UK generally arrive early in the morning. If there is no booking staying overnight on the day of your arrival, the apartment will be made available for your use as soon as you arrive.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The apartment has been recently furnished by an interior designer, and would suit singles, a couple, or a couple with a child (Child sleeping facilities available).

Further details outdoors:
Blouberg is the ideal place to base yourself for a trip to Cape Town - Ideally located between the CBD/Camps Bay and the beautiful winelands area.
This laid back beach area is ideal for wind surfing, kite surfing, running, cycling and many other outdoor activities (including wine tasting!).
There are many restaurants, cafes, shops etc all within 1-2 mins walk of the apartment, and the newly opening Eden on the Bay area (with its cafes and restaurants) is a stroll along the beach.

The Western Cape region

Holidaying in the Western Cape is like having a decades worth of holidays rolled into one. The gorgeous beaches, with their views of the unmistakable Table mountain, the amazing wine routes, the historical significance of Robben Island, amazing botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch, shark diving, whale watching, seal Island, swimming with penguins at Bolders, Two Oceans Acquarium, game reserves and the picturesque Garden route drive.
Portico is located in the perfect spot: Beach on your doorstep, sandwiched between the Cape Town Waterfront and the Winelands (15 mins either side).

The Cape Town / Blouberg area

Portico is located on the beachfront of Blouberg, approximately 15 minutes from Cape Town centre, and 30 minutes from Cape Town International Airport. The Durbanville Wine Route starts just fifteen minutes away, and further a field, the Stellenbosch and Paarl Wine Routes can be reached in 40 minutes.

Closer to home, there are bars and restaurants alongside the apartment, whilst cinemas, a large shopping complex and banks are within 5 minutes by car. One of the largest and most luxurious shopping malls can be found 10 minutes away at Canal Walk (the largest Mall in Africa), as can Ratanga Junction, a themed entertainment park. The Grand West Casino is 15 minutes drive away, and if you are feeling active, there are 2 gyms (Virgin Active and Planet Fitness just round the corner).

There are 2 local golf courses within 15 minutes of the apartment, and the Cape Town Waterfront shopping centre and tourist attraction is an easy 15 minutes drive away.

I can highly recommend the Blue Peter bar and restaurant down the road, where the canny locals go for a 'sundowner' whilst watching the sun disappear over Table Mountain, and there is an Italian deli on the ground floor, that is perfect for breakfast and lunch.

Stunning
The flat was immaculate. Beautifully and luxuriously done up - every room is just stunning.

The view from the balcony is just amazing. You will never be bored of sitting out watching the sun set by Table Mountain. The view is just breath taking.

The flat is well equipped with everything that you would need and some great bars/restaurants within 5 mins walk.
A great stay and I would definately go again! More...

Highly recommended
My wife and I stayed at the apartment in March 2010. The views really are amazing, and there is a great little Deli on the first floor. The booking process was easy, and the apartment very sunny. Highly recommended! More...

Fab!
We only stayed for 3 days before flying back to the Ukand wish we'd stayed longer! Very comfortable apartment and enough restaurants and café's nearby meaning we could be lazy and not jump in the car for 3 days. A very relaxing end to our trip.

Fabulous Location
This apartment was highly recommended by friends who had stayed here previously. It didn't disappoint! The apartment was extremely clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The weather was perfect and access to Cape Town and the wine estates was very easy. A great spot to enjoy a 'sundowner' watching the sun set over the beach. Overall, a really great place to stay.

We would love to live there one day!!!
We have only wonderful memories of our two visits to 502 Portico! The apartment is spacious and cleanand in a safe neighborhood. It has spectacular views of Table Mountain and Bloubergstrand Beach...convienient to shopping, the airport and "The Waterfront" and within walking distance of a wide variety of restaurants and services such as laundry facilities and internet cafes. We cannot wait to return in January 2011 to walk the beach!!!
Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in this world and my fellow americans must add it to their list, especially with the value of the dollar against the rand.
Just remember, our winter is their summer! More...
