The most popular corner on the South African subcontinent, the Western Cape has a long list of attractions which draw travellers from around the globe, again and again. From mountains to vineyards, beaches to cityscapes, as well as the lesser-known wilderness of the Karoo, there is a huge variety of opportunities for the discerning visitor. Be as sedate or as active as you’d like, from foodie escapes to adrenaline-filled holidays, we’ve selected the best places to stay in the Western Cape to see it all including secluded lodges, chic city centre boutique properties and family friendly B&Bs.
Cape Town, with the striking Table Mountain as a backdrop, beautiful beaches and a relaxed cosmopolitan atmosphere is the first port of call for most travellers to the Western Cape. From upmarket to trendy, there is something to suit every traveller. Whether you want to be amidst the action along the V&A Waterfront, the colourful cottages of Bo Kaap and trendy Woodstock, the liveliness of Long Street, or in the upmarket Clifton, Camps Bay, Oranjezicht, and Tamboerskloof, our collection of the best places to stay in Cape Town, really does boast something for everyone taste, budget, and locale.
A little further afield, some travellers prefer the residential peace and tranquillity of the Southern Suburbs, where you’re within easy access of Cape Town’s inner-city attractions, whilst still being able to explore the surrounding countryside and Winelands with ease (namely, without stuck in a traffic jam). Some of our favourite neighbourhoods include Constantia, Newlands, and Hout Bay for their open countryside, excellent walking and riding trails, inviting beaches, and world-class sports facilities.
Or, if your idea of a holiday is pairing a bottle of your favourite red with 28-day aged rump steak, then a journey through the Cape Winelands might be more up your street. Franschhoek, forever the most popular and with the most critically acclaimed restaurants (not to mention some world-class hotels) quite rightly receives a lot of attention, but more low-key Paarl is also home to some superb restaurants and award-winning vineyards. Historic Stellenbosch is well worth a visit, as is the quaint town of Robertson, Worcester, and Wellington. Our picks of the best places to stay in the Cape Winelands ensure that your glass need never run dry.
If you fancy a self-drive exploration of the Western Cape, then The Garden Route is one of the most scenic ways to explore some of its most picturesque locations. Starting from Mossel Bay traverse much of the Indian Ocean’s coastline, right the way along to Storm’s River in the Eastern Cape – if you decide to drive that far. From antiquated towns to shark cage diving, superb dining and sleepy coastal villages (with just a few hundred inhabitants) – there is so much to be seen and explored along The Garden Route, it’s no wonder it’s one of the most popular ways to explore this part of Africa. Some of our favourite places to visit include Mossel Bay, George, Wilderness, and of course the ever-popular Knysna and Plettenberg Bay.
