Neighbourhood

Situated between Robben Island and Table Mountain in the heart of Cape Town's working harbor, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront has become South Africa's most visited destination. Set against a backdrop of magnificent sea and mountain views, exciting shopping and entertainment venues are intermingled with imaginative office locations, world-class hotels and luxury apartments in the residential marina. We invite you to discover the experience... live, work, shop, and play at the V&A Waterfront.

Seal-watching is an amusing diversion. Visitors to the Two Oceans Aquarium will enjoy a fascinating underwater world. The Maritime Museum focuses on the history of shipping from prehistoric times to the present day. Boat trips around the harbor and along the coast are always popular. Helicopter flips provide a broader perspective. The Information Centre provides maps and information on special events planned for the day.

Waterfront heritage route:

Calls for greater public access and a wider use of Cape Town's historic harbor started in the early 1970's. In 1988, the then landowner (State-owned transport corporation, Transnet Limited) established a wholly-owned subsidiary company, Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (Pty) Limited, to redevelop the historic docklands. This was received with large-scale public acclaim.

Since its origins in 1860, the Port of Cape Town has been the scene of excavations, reclamations, harbor construction programs, and land-based developments. By the time Prince Alfred* tipped the first load of stone into the sea to initiate construction of Cape Town's harbor, the trade routes to the East had transformed the city into a hive of seafront activity. The discovery of gold and diamonds in South Africa meant that the first section of the harbor, the Alfred Basin, had to be added to and the Victoria Basin was built. (* Prince Alfred was Queen Victoria's second son)

The construction of the two harbor basins took place between 1860 and 1920, and the area is notable for its outstanding heritage buildings. It retains the charm of Victorian industrial architecture and the scale of a harbor built for sail and the early days of steam travel. In the 1970s, containerization had developed worldwide as the major method of cargo handling and transportation. It was this, together with South Africa's economic isolation at the time and the reopening of the Suez Canal, that led to a sharp reduction in the utilization of land and harbor facilities surrounding the Victoria & Alfred Basins. At the time, Transnet was in the process of rationalizing harbor facilities and reviewing its harbor and other land holdings with particular emphasis on the returns being generated by these assets.

Over the past 140 years, the harbor has undergone numerous changes, which continue even today with the redevelopment of land and buildings surrounding the original Victoria & Alfred Basins. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront project is the culmination of nearly three decades of planning and development proposals.
