Ark Royal is a fully equipped, 2-bedroom, 1-bath condominium apartment in the leafy urban suburb of Sea Point. The Ark is a secure building that includes a reserved, secure parking spot.

Sea Point is the ideal jumping off point to see Cape Town, the Cape Peninsula and the Western Cape. By car, you are 5 minutes from the V&A waterfront and city center, 10 minutes to the Table Mountain tramway and the Clifton and Camps Bay beaches. You are 20-30 minutes from some of the best golf in the Western Cape. The wine routes are 20 minutes to an hour away.

The apartment itself has an open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining area leads out onto a balcony with mountain and partial sea views. The living area comes equipped with an entertainment centre, with TV, stereo and CD/DVD players. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, double door refrigerator/freezer, toaster, kettle, utensils, etc. The dining area seats 4 people, as does the balcony. Satellite TV with US and UK programming.

The main bedroom has a double bed and is amply-sized. The smaller second bedroom has single bunk beds and is good for one adult or two kids but is tight for 2 adults. Both bedrooms have a built-in wardrobe and a dressing table. The full bath has a combination bath/shower. Quality linens and towels are supplied. The Ark is decorated in an African theme, with original oil paintings and African folk art throughout.

You are located on Hall Road, a quiet, residential street running between Beach Road and Main Road, and just up from the famous Winchester Mansions Hotel. Beach Road runs along the waterfront and with its broad pedestrian promenade is great for walking, jogging and people watching. Main Road provides all the necessities of life, such as shops, restaurants, coffee bars, post office, Internet cafes, etc. Public transport to the Waterfront or to city center is available from Main Road and Beach Road. One can manage quite well without a car.

To see the location use Google Earth or Google Maps and paste in the following coordinates: 33 54 44.13S, 18 23 30.75E

If your party is more than 4 persons, or your budget permits, see my ocean front properties on Blouberg Beach, just outside of Cape Town, VRBO #73276 and 250969. Also, see my two ocean front listings in the resort town of Hermanus (75 minutes from Cape Town), VRBO #50736 and 85058. Finally, beach front house near Mozambiquen resort town of Inhambane (write for details).

Owner's Profile

Owner Description

Year Purchased: 2004

Hi, my name is Marie, and I'll be your host during your stay in Sea Point. My husband, Chris, and I have family roots going back to the founding of South Africa. We welcome you to South Africa and are confident you will enjoy your stay in Sea Point.

Why the Owner Chose Cape Town

My husband, Chris, and I live inland, in the scenic Breede River Valley. When my husband semi retired I bought this "pied á terre" in order to have a place to stay in the city without the necessity of a hotel. The location is wonderful. It's close to everything - the city, Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, the beaches, golf, the Cape Peninsula, the wine routes, you name it.

The Unique Benefits of this Condominium

Great location and budget friendly. The pedestrian promenade on Beach Road is a great asset. You can walk for miles or kilometers in either directions, toward the Waterfront or the Beaches.

    • marie's getaway is a delight with the location super. 1/2 block with safety jump into a shared mini cab on main street near nando's chicken restaurant[yummy food]for 4.5 rands and get into downtown in 15-20 minutes. also internet cafes and laundries abundant there. walk 1/2 to beach avenue and bus [4.5 rands] goes to the waterfront in 15 minutes and really enjoy the best of capetown at the waterfront cafes, malls, restaurants, clubs etc etc. at maries corner at beach go to the sunday brunch or dinner at the class winchester hotel. marie left her telephone on which was a great help.

      Homeowner Response:

    • I would just like to recommend this Condo as one of the best places to stay in South Africa. We have been travelling in Southern Africa for the last 3 months and Sea Point and this condo is such a high light of our trip. The condo is perfectly furnished and immaculate. A true home away from home. The owners (Chris and Marie) made us feel so welcome and gave excellent advice. We will definitely be back and recommend staying here to anyone that is staying into capetown.

    • We stayed in this comfortable apartment for two separate weeks during our three month stay in South Africa. We found that the apartment was close to all amenities. Walkers and Joggers will be delighted because it is very close to the ocean. Also, Cape Town is a shopper's paradise!!! We spent the rest of the three months at the house in Vermont which is owned by the same people.We would recommend this apartment and/orhouse anytime. The owners are very amiable.

      This is a condo conversion that I purchased and furnished in late 2004. Since then, I have had 3 overseas rentals (2 Canadian, 1 USA/British). All are still on their travels and have yet to post comments but if you want references, let me know, and I shall forward their email addresses to you for enquiries. Having stayed in the condo many times myself, I can tell you that it is totally comfortable, and conveniently located to see the whole of Cape Town from a base of a nice leafy suburb, almost on the seafront.
