Choosing your side of the mountain

Where you stay shapes the whole trip. Here is how we help people choose.

Cape Town wraps around a mountain, so two addresses a short drive apart can feel like different holidays. Summer's south-easterly wind matters too. It can blow hard on some beaches and barely reach others.

Before we suggest a house, we ask how you want your days to look. Then the map usually decides for us.

Sunsets and beaches
The Atlantic Seaboard, from Clifton to Camps Bay.
Restaurants and walking
The City Bowl and its surrounding streets.
Space and shelter
Constantia and the Southern Suburbs.
Vines and long lunches
Franschhoek or Stellenbosch, for a night or two.

Make it yours.

Treat this as a starting point. We will shape it around your dates and your group.
