V&A Waterfront
- Surrounding the Steenberg Hotel
The Victoria and Alfred Waterfront is one of South Africa's
most popular tourist attractions and today attracts more than 20 million
visitors each year. 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 unique blend of Victorian architecture, maritime
tradition and African culture creates a traditional, yet modern environment.
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
The most special feature of the Waterfront is probably
the familiar sight of a colony of Cape fur seals resting on the seal landing
near the old clock tower. They are also found lounging around on old tyres
that line the quayside.
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
Six years of planning and designing are now taking shape
in the form of the V&A Marina on the water's edge, one of the world's
foremost Marina developments. The V&A Waterfront Marina is being developed
in phases and when complete will consist of some 600 dwelling units with
over 200 boat moorings.
