ACCOMMODATION

Spoilt for choice

What the Western Cape offers in greater abundance than anywhere else is the range and proximity of spectacular settings – waterfront, winelands & wilderness – and world-class accommodation.  Other provinces have their own unique attributes.

Mount Nelson Hotel Table Bay Hotel Grootbos Private Nature Reserve
"Boost your Best": Taking that adage to heart, we must mention that the Cape's hotels stand among the world's best – perrenial winner Mount Nelson and the more recent Table Bay are voted among the best in the world and the very best in Africa... while Tatler named Grootbos Private Nature Reserve as the best family hotel in the world.

      accommodation
CapeInfo offers a few ways of searching for accommodation:

You will find all listed accommodation for a particular province by clicking on the province's name on the map to the right.

Online booking: If you want to make a quick and secured booking, use one of the establishments that offer online availability and booking.  They are identified in the directory with Whats available & book online.  The quick search facility only shows establishments with available accommodation for the locations and dates you select.



You can also explore and browse all accommodation establishments using the Directory Search facility on the left.  You can also select provinces as well as keywords.  For example, you can search using a suburb name, a feature like "fynbos", or an activity that interests you.
You can search for different types of accommodation:
  • Hotels
  • Guest Houses and B&B's
  • Self-catering accommodation
  • Farm accommodation
  • Nature reserves with accommodation
  • Backpackers

    Hotels
    There is a wide variety of hotels, ranging from large and luxurious establishments to superior "boutique" hotels and small, family-run operations. There are also all-suite hotels and notable country manors and golf estates.
       Hotels in the Cape have a proud tradition of excellence that goes back over 100 years. The Mount Nelson, for example, was favoured by luminaries like Sir Winston Churchill, Rudyard Kipling, John Lennon and Lourens van der Post.
       There are over 20 000 hotel rooms in the greater Cape Town area and prices range from R180 to over R8 000 per room per night.

    Guest Houses & B&B's
    Guest Houses and Bed & Breakfast establishments are very popular, providing a sometimes less 'commercial' alternative to hotel accommodation. Frequently owner-managed, they provide personalised service and a more homely atmosphere.  Accommodation ranges from super-luxury, which exceeds many 5 star hotels, to the more basic.  They are, however, not necessarily cheaper than hotels but may offer more in other ways.

    Self-catering Accommodation
    This ranges from private houses and apartments that are let out to..... Apart from city establishments, there are also destinations on farms and in coastal or inland villages waiting to be explored.

    Farm Accommodation
    Converted (and sometimes new) farm cottages offer a real break from city stresses, and an opportunity to experience something different.

    Nature Reserves
    This offers much more than accommodation – it will be a treasured experience!  These range from really basic (and very affordable) wilderness experiences to a luxurious exploration of the Cape's natural wonders.
