THE BREAKWATER –
SOPHISTICATED LIVING AT
THE V&A WATERFRONT

The V&A Waterfront has just
launched its second long-term
residential rental complex, The
Breakwater, which is situated
directly opposite the Victoria Wharf
Shopping Centre. Offering 150
apartments across four floors, The
Breakwater makes living in Cape
Town’s newest and most desirable
neighbourhood very accessible to
a wide range of budgets, and gives
those that love the ambience and
setting of the V&A Waterfront the
opportunity to make it their home.
With panoramic vistas of the
Atlantic Ocean to the north and
mountain views to the south, The
Breakwater offers units ranging
in size from 30m2 to 120m2, with
studio, one- and two-bedroom
apartments available.
In-house facilities include 24-hour
security, free 5G Wi-fi, and a
gym. Undercover parking is also
available.
Residents will enjoy
an 18m rim-flow pool with some
of the best views in the country
surrounded by a spacious Balau
timber pool deck, plus almost
200m² of poolside AstroTurf to
relax on or kick a ball about.
Designed by award-winning Louis
Karol Architects, The Breakwater
is
sophisticated,
cool
and
understated. Some apartments
offer floor-to-ceiling windows,
while many benefit from voluminous
bay windows that literally pop out
into the magnificent views. The
contemporary interior design is
complemented by luxurious finishes
including white high-gloss kitchens
with integrated refrigerators and
dishwashers, Hansgrohe taps and
neutral-toned living areas, with
an emphasis on natural materials.
Bathrooms are expansive, elegant
and flatteringly lit, with a choice of
bathtubs or super-sized showers.
