Where to Stay in Cape Town: Lawhill Luxury Apartments at the V&A Waterfront

Lawhill Luxury Apartments: The Perfect Perch for a Cape Town Stay.
See other featured accommodations in our Where to Stay in South Africa directory.

When spending more than a week in Cape Town, it’s worth making plans to feel completely at home. Lawhill Luxury Apartments down on the V&A Waterfront offer the perfect perch for settling in, seeing the sights, and living like a temporary local in the city.


Our unit: on the four floor of the Lawhill B building at the far right; Table Mountain behind.

As we travel, settling in to a fully furnished unit with a kitchen and laundry set transforms our trip from “travels” to “living.”

Secure parking, helpful staff at the reception desk, and tastefully modern furnishings with a classy flair set us instantly at ease, and after spending a series of nights centrally located to urban spas, tasty coffee shops, and ever-breathtaking views of that iconic city skyline, we’re happy to echo the recommendations of guests who’ve given Lawhill a five star rating as one of the top hotels in Cape Town.

Walking to the nearest grocery store, picking up items for a home-cooked meal, leaving later for a coffee date or people watching or adventure-finding in the busy Cape Town bustle becomes easy at Lawhill Luxury Apartments.

Night skies and city lights…followed by daytime trips to the nearby V&A Waterfront.

Our Favorite Memories: Walking hand-in-hand on the waterfront, heading to nearby Urban Beauty Spa for a couple’s massage, listening to street musicians, and returning to our spacious home-away-from-home to cook dinner, drink wine, watch movies, do laundry (Ted’s favorite!), make calls to friends at home, sort airfare plans, and step out on the balcony to take in the forever-remembered view of Cape Town.

    Good day.
    i am looking for accommodation for 1000 people, the venue should have a place where we can connect the stage for artist to perform, a bar and a swimming pool.

      I recommend checking directly with Lawhill. They will be happy to quote you for their facilities or recommend an excellent neighbor.

      I’d recommend the Upper East Side Hotel as well, but they are unfortunately not large enough to accommodate 1000. Good luck on your search!

    We just stayed at Lawhill and felt like celebrities! It is so luxuriously comfortable – just what we needed after two weeks in the bush. We completely agree with you – we didn’t just feel like travelers, we felt like we were living there.

      Yes, exactly! Felt like a nice chance to settle and be at home. I remember making a long distance call back to the U.S. to have an hour+ chat with one of my best friends. For just a little while, it didn’t seem like were were half way around the world…
