 The exclusive residential suburb of Fresnaye is one of Cape Town's most fashionable residential areas. It is situated between Sea Point and Clifton, on the slopes of Lion's Head and has magnificent views of the Atlantic Seaboard, Table Bay and Robben Island. Its choice position, the fact that it is sheltered from the notorious south-easterly, its easy access to Cape Town and the V & A Waterfront has produced some of the most expensive real estate along the Atlantic Seaboard. The trendy Atlantic beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton are literally just up the road, within walking distance and a stone's throw away from Sea Point's Main Road with an eclectic offering of shops, bars, clubs and restaurants that give it its own cosmopolitan flavour. Tours to historic and notorious Robben Island, where former President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned and laboured in the limestone quarry, depart daily from the Waterfront. The Waterfront also houses some of Cape Town's bustling nightlife, and it boasts a wide variety of restaurants as well as many clubs and pubs, and live jazz music venues. |
