The Barracks | Contemporary Apt Overlooking City

Welcome to The Barracks, an inviting studio apartment ideally located
in Cape Town’s dynamic city centre. Nestled on vibrant Bree Street,
this tastefully furnished retreat offers a chic and comfortable base
for discovering the city's top attractions. With acclaimed eateries,
artisan coffee shops, art galleries, and cultural landmarks just steps
away, you'll be perfectly placed to take in the best of Cape Town.

The Space

This thoughtfully curated studio blends contemporary design with
practical features, offering everything you need for a seamless stay.
The sleeping area includes a plush queen-sized bed dressed in soft
linens, with generous cupboard space to store your belongings. A
designated workspace which is complete with a desk and supportive chair
makes remote work or planning your adventures effortless.

Just off the bedroom area, the private ensuite bathroom is fitted with
a walk-in shower, offering the perfect spot to refresh and recharge

The fully equipped kitchen includes all the essentials for preparing

Tall windows bring in natural light and frame the ever-busy Bree Street

independently managed rooftop venue situated at the top of the
building. This space includes a stunning saltwater pool, reliable wifi,
and a casual lounge area which is perfect for catching up on work or
