Cape Town can be pricey, but with the right timing and areas you can find real value. Here is how to keep costs down without sacrificing location.
Avoid the mid-December to mid-January peak. Winter (June to August) and the shoulder months offer the lowest rates, and midweek is usually cheaper than weekends.
Sea Point, Green Point and the City Bowl offer more mid-range options than Camps Bay or the Waterfront, while self-catering apartments can beat hotels on longer stays.
