Spindrift: 1 bedrm apt mint-new drop-dead sea view

Spindrift is spectacular! Built in 2016 to exacting standards, it's thoughtfully designed and carefully furnished. Accessed by steps or funicular, (great for luggage!) Spindrift is sufficiently elevated to command 180° sea views, set back enough to be peaceful and yet close enough to walk to the harbour, the beaches, the pavement cafés and restaurants for which Kalk Bay is famous. Wine farms, golf courses and big-ticket sites - Table Mountain, Kirstenbosch and Robben Island - are easy to access.
