Cape Wheel

Back in time, a settling pink, red skyline silhouettes against a big wheel.

An icon of Cape Town’s Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

The Cape Wheel offers a breathtaking adventure that elevates you 40 meters above the ground in 30 fully enclosed, air-conditioned cabins. A 12 to 15-minute, four-revolution ride unveils panoramic views of Granger Bay, the historic Robben Island, the majestic Table Mountain, and the silhouette of Signal Hill. Recently relocated on Breakwater Boulevard at the V&A Waterfront, it's where the magic happens – a snapshot of Cape Town's extraordinary beauty.

Cape Town’s beauty rests in its balance of nature, sea, sky, and people. While so much time is spent on the challenges and difficulties of life around us everywhere, life has a way to remind us that wherever we are, we are also living in beauty and the subtle offer of peace. Strolling along the piers and cafes of this renown seaside location, the Waterfront reminds me that capturing images can include the most obvious and popular views, and for good reason. The pace of life in this part of the world is picking up, yet it is neither overcrowded nor overbearing. One can still sense a feeling of refreshment on occasions like this, especially with good food, happy people, and the sounds of the sea around us as the sun sets at magic hour.

Living Cities Collection

Welcome to who we are, what we do, and those who live around and with us.

As social creatures, humans have always lived in tribes, building communities based on shared values and beliefs. Within these tribes, humans have created homes and cities, both as a place of shelter and as a reflection of their identity. Humans also have an innate desire to explore the world beyond their immediate surroundings, and our curiosity extends beyond physical exploration as we seek out new experiences and live life in our own domestic spaces. Whether at home or on the move, we are constantly driven to survive, create, or discover the meaning of living.
