De Waterkant lies in the historic Bo-Kaap (above
Town) area of Cape Town, an historic and culturally interesting area of the
city.
A traditional residential area of Cape Town's Muslim
community, it is situated on the slopes of Signal hill. It still has
original cobbled streets, brightly coloured houses from the nineteenth
century, Muslim shrines ("kramats") and mosques. Most of the residents are
descended from slaves brought to the Cape by the Dutch in the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries.
Trendy and fashionable today, it is compared to New York's Greenwich Village
and London's Soho with its tree lined streets, restored cottages,
spectacular views and village atmosphere.
