Canal Quays is situated just a short walk away from Cape Town International Convention Centre and is just a few minutes' drive to the hub of the V&A Waterfront's shops, cinemas, restaurants, galleries and craft stalls, as well as harbour activities and Robben Island Museum ferry. Uniquely situated on the canal waterway that runs from the V&A to the city (you can catch a water taxi that takes you right to the V&A's aquarium , an outing in itself), Canal Quays looks over to the working docks.
