01, The Apartment A Rare Address

On the waterfront,
above the canal.

Perched above Durban's inner harbour canals, Point Bastille is a quietly beautiful apartment where the rhythm of the water shapes the day. Gondolas glide past the veranda. Ships slip in and out of the port. Ducks and fish move through the water below, a living view, every hour of the day.

Ideal for families visiting Durban, the apartment is close to uShaka Marine World and within walking distance of Addington and Vetch's Beach. The secure, access-controlled building and two dedicated bays make arrivals easy, while the braai stand and spacious lounge make evenings with kids simple and relaxed.
