Cape Town hotels: frequently asked questions

Is Cape Town safe for tourists?

Yes, in the areas visitors actually stay - the City Bowl, Atlantic Seaboard and Waterfront are well-patrolled and busy with tourists. Use e-hailing rather than walking alone late at night, and keep valuables out of sight in the car, as you would in any major city.

Do I need a car in Cape Town?

Helpful but not essential if you are based in one area. E-hailing apps cover the city well and are affordable, though a car pays off if you plan to explore the Winelands or the Cape Peninsula at your own pace.

Why does the Table Mountain cableway sometimes close?

Wind and low cloud, most common from December to February when the southeaster ("Cape Doctor") blows. If the mountain is your priority, build in a spare morning and check conditions before you go.

Will load shedding affect my Cape Town stay?

Most established hotels run backup power for lights, Wi-Fi and hot water. See our load shedding guide for how to confirm a specific property before you book.

How far is Cape Town from the Winelands?

Stellenbosch is about 45 minutes by road, Franschhoek closer to an hour - both are realistic as a day trip or a one-to-two night add-on.
