Before Green Point became a hub for sports, recreation, and holiday rentals in Cape Town, the landscape was a low-lying coastal plain at the foot of signal hill, marked by rolling dunes and sandscapes. Some of the earliest maps of Cape Town indicate that Green Point was a “hottentot village” - which is believed to be an early settlement of the Khoisan people who cultivated the area before the arrival of European settlers. The Green Point Common served as the major grazing land for the Dutch East India Company, who referred to the region as the “Waterplaats” (waterfront). Today, Green Point Town Luxury Accommodation offers a unique blend of this rich past and a vibrant, contemporary urban experience.
