Locations

Cape Town has something for every type of traveller, so where you stay makes a big difference. The right area can shape your trip, from your morning coffee spot to how you end your day. Start by deciding what kind of experience you want.

If you want energy and convenience, stay close to the City Centre, De Waterkant, or the V&A Waterfront. You’ll be near restaurants, bars, and shopping, with easy access to top landmarks. These areas are ideal if you want to walk or use Uber instead of renting a car.

If you’re chasing sea views and sunsets, the Atlantic Seaboard is your spot. Camps Bay and Clifton are famous for beach days and oceanfront dining. Sea Point and Green Point offer balance, with running routes, cafés, and family-friendly parks. Bantry Bay gives you peace with a touch of luxury.

For a local, laid-back feel, head towards the Southern Suburbs or the West Coast. Gardens and Tamboerskloof mix nature with cafés and quick access to Table Mountain. Milnerton and Bloubergstrand are perfect for kite surfers and beach lovers, with long stretches of sand and coastal wind.

Before booking, think about how you’ll move around. If you plan day trips, stay near main roads or the N1 and N2 highways. For public transport, look for areas covered by MyCiTi buses. Always check if parking is included and whether load shedding backups are in place.

Use this quick guide to help narrow it down:

• City breaks: De Waterkant, V&A Waterfront, or Cape Town City.

• Beach escapes: Camps Bay, Clifton, or Bloubergstrand.

• Quiet retreats: Bantry Bay or Milnerton Ridge.

• Adventure and views: Gardens or Tamboerskloof.

• Family stays: Sea Point or Green Point.

Read reviews and look at recent photos before booking. The same street can feel very different by day or night. Check Wi-Fi speeds, security, and proximity to supermarkets or attractions you plan to visit.

In the end, it’s about balance. You want comfort, safety, and easy access to what excites you most about Cape Town. Cape Town Holiday Apartments can help you find the perfect match, whether you want ocean views, city lights, or quiet mountain air.
