The story revolves around a young teenager who thinks that shares blood with a water sports champion (hence the title of the show).
The show, now back for the second season, stars Ama Qamata (Puleng), Khosi Ngema (Fikile), Thabang Molaba (Karabo 'KB'), and Gail Mabalane (Thandeka).
Welcome to our spoiler-free guide to the filming locations of Blood and Water.
Where is Blood and Water filmed?
The magnificent building of Parkhurst High School is Smuts Hall, a UCT Student Residence.
Located in the Upper Campus overlooking the city on the slopes of Devil's Peak, Smuts accommodates 230 students.
This is the same The Kissing Booth school used in the romantic comedy movie series.

Smuts Hall was founded in 1928 as Men’s Residence and it was renamed after the death in 1950 of Jan Smuts, the UCT Chancellor and former prime minister of South Africa.
The secondary school's large lecture hall is the Sarah Baartman Hall of the University of Cape Town, located also on the same campus.
Blood & Water features spectacular establishing shots of Cape Town, the Mother City.

The indoor swimming pool plays a key role in the drama. The production shot all the scenes in the Linden pool, located on the other side of the country near Johannesburg, 870 miles away from Cape Town.

The Blood and Water house
Karabo 'KB' Molapo's jaw-dropping rock house is the Llandudno Rock Villa perched on a dramatic cliff near Cape Peninsula outside Cape Town.
Built around the iconic massive granite boulder seen in the series, you can rent this luxurious four-bedroom villa for about US$1,500 per night.
