Photos and Description of the Sea Point vacation condo rental
Condo, 2 Bedrooms, 1 Bath, (Sleeps 4)

Ark Royal is a fully equipped, 2-bedroom, 1-bath condominium apartment with balcony in the leafy Atlantic Seaboard community of Sea Point. The Ark is a secure building that includes secure off-street parking.

Sea Point is the ideal base from whch 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.

Open-plan kitchen, sitting and dining area with seating for 4. The sitting area comes equipped with an entertainment centre, including satellite TV (US/UK programming), stereo and CD/DVD players. The kitchen has a stove, oven, microwave, double door refrigerator/freezer, toaster, kettle, utensils, etc. Balcony has table and chairs for 4 with mountain and partial sea views. Most of our guests use the balcony as their outdoor sitting and dining area.

The amply-sized main bedroom has a Queen-size bed. 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).

About The Owner

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

The Owner purchased this condo in 2004
Why The Owner chose Sea Point

My husband and I live inland, in the scenic Breede River Valley. We bought this "pied รก 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.

What makes this condo unique

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.

Even though we didn't know much about the city, this looked like a good option for a place to stay while we visited our daughter. We spent 2 weeks at the Ark Royale in December 2011. It was pretty close to perfect. As the owner describes, the condo is very comfortable, has everything you need for a family of four and is in a great location that allows you to walk to the grocery store, laundry, and other shops or take a taxi to downtown or the Water front. A block the other direction, we walked to the promenade along the Atlantic -- a beautiful place to walk, jog, or sit and relax. We walked out every night to watch the sunset. And on top of that, the apartment is really tastefully decorated so it was a pleasure to settle in each evening for a glass of wine and a movie. Finally, I want to thank the owner, Marie, for all her help in getting us oriented, making it so easy to arrange for payment and being responsive to all our questions and needs. (We were probably more needy that most renters, coming from the US.) She is great!

Owner's Response: Catherine - thanks for your kind comments and for your stay. Glad you enjoyed the apartment and the sunset and hope we will have you back again. Regards, Marie.

This little flat is ideally located and started our South African trip off to a great start. Sea Point is a perfect spot if you want to be in a neighborhood, in a flat that has it all. It was so nice to know that we had this little home away from home to start our journey off with. The owners were more than accommodating. Just great.

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.
Owner's Response: Stan, it was a pleasure having such nice folks. Susanna and Micheal said if all my guests are such nice people they will do "anything" for them. Hope to see u back in the future. Marie
