Our Portfolio of Western Cape Accommodation
With Cape Town being the most popular tourist destination city in South Africa, it is vital to book your Cape Town accommodation well in advance during high and peak seasons. Camps Bay boutique hotels, guest houses and villas are particularly popular and booked out fast.
Similarly, don’t wait till the last minute for booking Cape Winelands in season.
When booking a West Coast vacation, plan ahead if you want to visit in the daisy season when visitors come from all over the world to see this natural spectacle. The rest of the year tends to be quiet.
Hermanus gets packed over the Whale Festival each spring so book in advance. The same applies for Garden Route towns such as Knysna.
