De Waterkant is a celebrated gay village in Cape Town. Part of the historic district of Bo-Kaap (‘above town’), it is rich in heritage and tradition. Situated on the slopes of Signal Hill, it still has original cobbled streets, brightly coloured houses from the nineteenth century, Muslim shrines ("kramats") and mosques. Most of the residents are descended from slaves brought to the Cape by the Dutch in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries.
Besides being steeped in history, De Waterkant is the perfect location for your next vacation. Shadowed by the magnificent Table Mountain, it is within easy access of world famous landmarks including the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, gorgeous beaches such as Camps Bay and Clifton, and is a stone throw from Cape Town’s CBD.
The nightlife in this part of the world is unparalleled with vibrant sounds coming from the late-night cafés, restaurants and clubs.
In the heart of De Waterkant lies The Charles - one of the most private, intimate and original new guesthouses. Trendy and fashionable, it is compared to New York's Greenwich Village and London's Soho with its tree lined streets, restored cottages, spectacular views and village atmosphere.
