Holiday Accommodation Cape Town

Cape Town is South Africa’s holiday mecca and if you look at all the accommodation available you will wonder if there are actually people living here as the entire area seems to consist of possible holiday accommodation.

When you start looking at Cape Town as a possible holiday destination you are going to feel overwhelmed with everything there is to do and see. A week, two weeks and even a month won’t feel long enough.

Finding the right accommodation for your holiday can be a daunting task and you should decide what exactly you want from your holiday and where you are planning to spend the most time.

Sun and the Beach

If you are planning to spend a lot of time on the beaches and do some fishing or water sports you will want to look at the areas with the beaches. The city itself doesn’t really have much to offer in the sense of beach holidays. Areas like Blouberg, Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek are close to the city while you will have lovely beaches and lots of opportunities for water activities. Come rain or high water if you drive in the direction of Fish Hoek, along the coast from Cape Town, you will find the guys with their wet suits and surf boards everywhere on the beaches.

These areas are close enough to Cape Town’s attractions for easy trips into the city. The quaint little village of Kalk Bay is an experience on it is own and if you like shopping of a different kind this is where you want to be. Kalk Bay hosts the most exiting restaurants and the very popular Olympia Café.

History

If you want to experience the magic and mystery of the age old city at the foot of the amazing Table Mountain, you will find various types of accommodation right in the heart of the city. If you can think of it, you will find it. Backpackers lodges, luxury and budget hotels, self catering apartments and B&B’s to pick and choose from. If you don’t have a car available you will find staying in the city the easiest. Even though Cape Town has a better bus service than many other areas it is still far from perfect. There are various tours leaving from the city to Cape Point, the wine lands and other popular tourist areas for people without their own transport.

Spa and Luxury

If a luxury or spa experience, with exquisite sunsets and drinks on the beach are more your scene there is no better place than Clifton, Camps Bay or Llandudno. Very few views in the world can match the sunset from Camps Bay beach and even better if you are higher up on the mountain at the Twelve Apostles Hotel. Relax on the verandah with an exotic cocktail while the sun sets and you will know you have experienced magic. Camps Bay and Clifton have a vibe that fits the rich and famous. Street cafes, hotels and restaurants line the beach front. Don’t expect to find cheap accommodation here but you can rest assure you will find value for you money.

So if you want to bake in the sun or roam the streets of the oldest city in South Africa, you will find the perfect place to stay.
