V&A Waterfront
- Surrounding the Hôtel Le Vendôme
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is one of South Africa's
most popular tourist attractions and attracts visitors from far and wide
who come to view the wide variety of entertainment in this area. Surrounded
by a marina and with Table Mountain as its backdrop, it makes for a magnificent
shopping venue with an IMAX theatre and an aquarium. Today the V&A
Waterfront attracts more than 20 million visitors each year.
Shopping
The unique blend of Victorian architecture, maritime
tradition and African culture creates an environment that is lively and
cosmopolitan. All stores at the V&A Waterfront are open until 9pm,
seven days a week for your convenience, and there are over 6000 open-air
and underground parking bays, patrolled and monitored 24 hours a day for
greater peace of mind.
Seal Landing
A unique feature of the Waterfront is probably the familiar
sight of a colony of Cape fur seals resting on the seal landing in the
Clock Tower precinct, or on old tyres lining the quaysides.
The Two Oceans Aquarium
The Two Oceans Aquarium offers glimpses of over 3000
living animals, including fishes, invertebrates, mammals, reptiles and
birds. The Aquarium offers unique opportunities such as diving with the
sharks and copper hat diving, sleepovers for children, facilities for
conferences and functions and the daily feeding of the fishes at 15h30.
The V&A Waterfront Marina
Six years of planning and designing are now taking shape
in the form of the V&A Marina on the water's edge, one of the world's
foremost Marina developments. The V&A Waterfront Marina is being developed
in phases and when complete will consist of some 600 dwelling units with
over 200 boat moorings.
