V&A Waterfront - Surrounding the Twelve Apostles Hotel

Attracting over 20 million visitors per year, the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront has become one of South Africa's most popular tourist attractions. It consists of over 400 stores, 45 different restaurants and bars, an arts and crafts centre, an aquarium, a children's science exploratium and the IMAX cinema.

Shopping

The Waterfront is an outstanding work of art as it is a unique blend of Victorian architecture, maritime tradition and African culture. The atmosphere created is perfect for shopping as it is modern, 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

One of the world's foremost marina developments is located on the V&A marina and six years of planning and designing are now taking shape. Boat moorings and dwelling units are in the process of being built and the development of the Waterfront is continuous.
