De Waterkant

De Waterkant is a friendly community with restored Cape Dutch and Georgian style buildings which are said to have been built by slaves in the 1700's. You can also find Mosques, Museums and Heritage buildings in De Waterkant which has become unique and very cosmopolitan.

De Waterkant is situated on Signal Hill which boasts spectacular views as it overlooks Table Bay. On Signal Hill you will find what is called the Noon Gun, where a cannon is fired at 12:00 every day. If you are looking for unique decor or arts and crafts then the Cape Quarter is the place for you. In the City Centre itself you can visit the Two Oceans Aquarium where adults and children can admire the tranquil and amazing underwater sea life. The V&A Waterfront is nearby too and is probably Cape Towns biggest tourist attraction.

De Waterkant is a vibrant neighborhood in Cape Town, known for its colorful architecture, trendy boutiques, and lively atmosphere.

Here are five things you can do or see in De Waterkant:

  1. Explore the Architecture: Wander through the streets of De Waterkant and admire its beautifully restored Cape Dutch and Georgian-style houses painted in bright, pastel colors. It's a photographer's paradise with its picturesque facades.

  2. Shop and Dine at the Cape Quarter: Visit the Cape Quarter Lifestyle Village, a trendy shopping and dining destination in De Waterkant. Here, you'll find a variety of boutiques, cafes, restaurants, and galleries housed in a mix of modern and historic buildings.

  3. Visit the Bo-Kaap: While technically just adjacent to De Waterkant, a visit to the Bo-Kaap neighborhood is a must. Known for its brightly colored houses and rich Cape Malay culture, you can explore the streets, visit the Bo-Kaap Museum, and enjoy traditional Cape Malay cuisine.

  4. Experience the Nightlife: De Waterkant is famous for its vibrant nightlife. Explore the bars, clubs, and cocktail lounges that come alive after dark. It's a great place to experience Cape Town's social scene.

  5. Attend a Market or Festival: Depending on the time of year, De Waterkant hosts various markets and festivals. Check out the local calendar for events like the Cape Town Pride Festival, markets offering artisanal goods, or food festivals celebrating local cuisine.

These activities offer a blend of cultural immersion, shopping, dining, and nightlife that capture the essence of De Waterkant's appeal.

Why the $elect Stays initiative?

  1. Encourage and boost local tourism through making holidays more affordable.
    This is achieved by offering locals a 15% saving. The same 15% that would have left our shores had it been paid as commission to an International Booking site.
  2. Reduce the dependancy on large International Booking sites.
    This is achieved by building up a loyal following of verified users who we will market to on an exclusive and regular basis to maximise the opportunity.
  3. Ensure more money stays within local tourism to benefit us all.
    It is no secret that the large International Booking sites pay no or very little tax to South Africa or Namibia. By taking back a little more control we boost our own economy, and in particular, our local tourism. This is good for us all.
    Read this article on how the Australian holiday accommodation sector is suffering in the same way.
  4. Exclusive.
    Only listings on Stays can participate, which means less competition for bookings.
How it works for accommodation-seekers:

Anyone can register as a $elect Stays member.
There are no costs involved to register as a member.
On registration, we issue them with a member number.
They use their member number when they send an enquiry.
The number is verified automatically BEFORE the enquiry is sent.
The property is notified on the enquiry that they are a verified member.
Property ensures that the quote includes a 15% saving.

Terms & Conditions

  1. The property (you) must offer the 15% saving to all verified members
  2. Verification is done automatically at the time of an enquiry. It is at the property’s discretion whether to offer the saving for a telephonic enquiry. (As you have no means to verify the membership number, it is advisable to get them to do a formal enquiry so they can be verified).
  3. If the property is currently running a "Special" greater than 15% then the "Special" price will apply. (No further savings needs to be offered). EXCEPT in the case where the "Special" is lower than 15%. In that case the 15% will apply.
    Example: A property offering a 10% discount, must offer an additional 5% discount to valid members - so they get a total 15% saving.
  4. The property must offer valid members the saving all year round. (Properties that pick and chose in which seasons to participate run the risk of being removed from the programme completely. Allowing selective participation defeats the integrity of this initiative).
  5. The property must not inflate the price before the 15% is applied. Prices displayed should be the rack rate. (The official or advertised price of a room).
  6. The property must honour any bookings made while the property was participating as a $elect Stays property.
  7. The property must honour the agreement and the spirit in which the initiative is designed to benefit local tourism.
