The Watershed

"The Watershed at the V&A Waterfront is a must-visit for those looking to experience the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of Cape Town. This unique market brings together local artisans, designers, and craftspeople, showcasing a diverse range of products that reflect the city’s vibrant culture and talent. The space is home to more than 150 shops offering handmade goods, from beautiful jewelry and fashion to homeware, art, and decor, many of which are inspired by the city’s rich history and natural beauty. In addition to being a market, The Watershed also hosts several community-driven projects and initiatives, which aim to uplift and support local artists and communities. Visitors can wander through the stylishly designed interior, admire the quirky craft designs, and even find some township-inspired art. It’s the perfect place to pick up a truly unique souvenir while supporting local businesses and celebrating the creative energy of Cape Town."

"Well known for the crafters market on the ground floor, make your way up the stairs - I think it is called Pure Good. But there is ample seating with access to plug points on every table. The cafe is apart of Workshop17, a paid coworking space. But members of the public can work at this cafe with the V&A Waterfront Wifi. Don't mind paying? Check out Workshop17 for the day. Trust me you won't regret it."

"The Watershed is a vibrant design and craft space where local artisans display their crafts, art, designs, fashion, and flavour. Workshop17, a coworking space, is located at the Watershed, making this an ideal location for remote workers."
