The Reveal

Newly decorated, the apartment offers a comfortable living space in one of the most iconic buildings in Cape Town. The double volume ceilings and elegant furnishings create a warm but spacious atmosphere. The apartment is located in the most iconic Art Deco building in South Africa. Opened in 1940 as the headquarters of what is now the Old Mutual insurance and financial services company, the "Mutual Building" (or "Mutual Gebou" in Afrikaans) was reportedly then the tallest building in Africa apart from the Pyramids in Egypt. The Mutual Heights building is set in the heart of Cape Town, within walking distance to historical landmarks such as the Company's Garden, the Cape of Good Hope Castle, the City Hall, Greenmarket Square and the Grande Parade. The apartment is perfectly located to get around on foot.

Nic's place was amazing. The apartment is centrally located in city center in an old historic building that has been renovated into apartments. Nic was great in communicating and provided details instructions on how to access his place. The nearby pool was also relaxing on the hot sunny days I was in Cape Town.

Unique space with super comfy bed in downtown Cape Town. Beautiful building and nicely decorated apartment with access to gym right across the hall and rooftop pool. Nic was super friendly and communication was super easy. Clear instructions as well as helpful recommendations available.

Nicholas was an excellent host, even though we did not meet unfortunately. He called and sent messages, to check, if I am happy or if I would need anything else. So I had the whole apartment for myself. If you like architecture and especially Art Deco, this place is a very special experience! The whole building is pure Art Deco from the facade to the stunning entrance hall or the elevators. The flat offers everything you need with extra high ceilings. You are in the centre of town in a pretty safe area, just be a bit vigilant and you will have a great time there... I can highly recommend this place - thanks to Nicholas!
