Where to look for self-catering in Cape Town

The Atlantic Seaboard (Sea Point, Green Point and Camps Bay) has modern apartments near the promenade and the beaches. The City Bowl and De Waterkant offer stylish loft-style stays close to restaurants and nightlife. For more space and better value, look to Century City and the southern suburbs.

What you get with self-catering

A private kitchen or kitchenette, usually a washing machine, and far more living space than a hotel room. For families and groups it is often better value per person, and it lets you cook around Cape Town’s excellent markets, delis and farm stalls.
