Colourful De Waterkant Village is a unique European influenced village of semi-detached quaint cottages and cobbled streets preserved from the 1760?s. Cradled between the city and the Waterfront, De Waterkant Village is avant-garde, a cultural urban refuge highlighted by the abundance of restaurants, art galleries, gay clubs, salsa clubs, tapas bars and Parisian inspired caf?s. Drawing comparisons from cultural and artistic villages from all over the world, De Waterkant embraces individuality and theatricality, echoed in the architecture and vibrancy of its residents and visitors.
Perfectly positioned in the very heart of De Waterkant Village, The Charles is a private, intimate and original guest house. From the roof decks of The Charles, guests can enjoy beautiful city views, especially late afternoons when the city lights up and the evenings come alive. Positioned opposite the gorgeous al fresco styled Cape Quarter piazza and the flamboyant crowd at Manhattan's Restaurant and bar, The Charles can be described as being "The Spirit of the Village" in a town that surely is "The fun Capital of Cape Town."
This beautifully restored nine roomed, Cape Georgian Manor House, with tranquil terrace and pool, overlooks the village, the famous Table Bay and distant Stellenbosch Mountains.
