Cape Town accommodations
Cape Town accommodations welcome you to a destination nicknamed “Mother City”.
Cape Town known for: iconic mountain, cable cars, museums, beaches, surfing, beach penguins, harbor seals, whale watching, shark diving, gardens, parks, squares, pavilions, promenades, hiking trails, viewpoints, waterfalls, gorges, ravines, port, bays, shopping malls, farmers’ markets, wine estates, fynbos (South Africa shrubland & heathland vegetation)
Cape Town is located on Africa’s southwestern coastline. Cape Town’s two main bays are Table Bay (Atlantic side) and False Bay (southerly). False Bay typically is about 6 °C warmer due to its proximity to the Indian Ocean’s Agulhas Current. Once prevalent in False Bay, great white sharks have decreased in numbers significantly since about 2018. Part of the reason for great white disappearance is the presence of two apex killer whale predators named Port and Starboard, who are known to eat great white shark livers by ramming them and flipping them into a tonic state.

Cape Town’s main sports are cricket, rugby and football. The city’s professional sports teams are MI Cape Town (cricket), DHL Stormers (rugby) and Cape Town City FC. When in South Africa, keep in mind that rolling blackouts, or load-shedding, can happen. Caused by a monopoly on the power supply, outdated power facilities and/or worker strikes, load-shedding occurs when power demand exceeds the power supply. Good accommodations, such as those found herein, should have a back-up power supply / generator, so that a power outage will not interrupt your stay. During load-shedding, cellphone towers should continue to operate normally, as they also should have a backup power supply. Be sure to keep your cellphone charged and keep in mind that ATMs will not be operable during load-shedding. The smartphone app EskomSePush (ESP) (should be available in a smartphone app store) allows the user to see Cape Town’s load-shedding schedule in advance. Cape Town tourist areas generally are safe. Places to avoid, however, are nearby townships, or “flats”, which are located southeast of the central business district. In addition to poverty, flats are known to have gang activity. When in Cape Town, one should consume bottled water, though tap water should be fine for brushing teeth. Cape Town’s currency is the South African rand, the drinking age is 18 years old and cars travel on the left-hand side. Cape Town accommodations are some of Africa’s best. Before we get to Cape Town accommodations, let’s take a look at some more background information on the area to help you along the way.
Discovered at Fish Hoek (Peers Cave), archaeological evidence suggests that humans have inhabited the Cape Town area for at least 12,000 years. Written history of the region does not exist until an account by Portuguese mariner and explorer Bartolomeu Dias, who, in 1488, became Europe’s first navigator to round Africa’s southern tip. Dias first named the area “Cape of Storms”, which was later renamed to “Cape of Good Hope” by Portugal’s King John II. En route to India, Portuguese explorer Vasco da Gama in 1497 recorded his sighting of the Cape of Good Hope. The Battle of Salt River on March 1, 1510 between the Portuguese Empire and the indigenous ǃUriǁʼaekua nomadic tribe resulted in a decisive ǃUriǁʼaekua victory. Prior to the advent of gunpowder, the Portuguese arrived armed with crossbows, spears and swords, while the ǃUriǁʼaekua, anticipating the Portuguese’s advances inland, awaited with poisoned arrows, spears, stones and cattle shields. Table Bay became an important stop-over for late-16th century European ships traveling to the Indies. Ships, mainly Portuguese, but also English, Dutch, French and Danish, traded iron, copper and tobacco with the region’s Khoekhoe clans in exchange for meat and other traveling provisions. Dutch navigator Jan van Riebeeck of the United East India Company established a way-station at Fort de Goede Hoop, which would later become Castle of Good Hope, in 1652. Van Riebeeck and his successors introduced a range of agricultural plants such as grapes, apples, citrus, potatoes, ground nuts and cereals. In 1795, Britain captured Cape Town, though it was returned to the Dutch by way of treaty circa 1803. The January 1806 Battle of Blaauwberg between the United Kingdom and the Batavian Republic and the First French Empire resulted in a British victory, with the United Kingdom subsequently controlling the Dutch Cape Colony throughout the Napoleonic Wars. In 1814, the Anglo-Dutch Treaty granted Britain possession of the Cape Colony, or Cape of Good Hope, indefinitely. Uniting with three other colonies, Britain would control Cape Colony from 1806 until 1910. Throughout the 1800s, Cape Colony’s territory expanded substantially. Britain engaged in nine wars with the ethnic Xhosa Kingdom on the colony’s eastern frontier. In 1849, the Convict crises, caused by Britain’s prospect of creating a penal colony in the area, were marked by civil upheaval and protests. Carrying 288 “ticket of leave” Irish convicts, The Neptune merchant ship sought to moor at Cape Town in 1849. Ultimately, the Convict crisis proved successful for Cape Town’s protestors, as they were able to thwart the penal colony system to places such as Hobart, Tasmania. These events triggered a nationalistic sense of self-government, and the Cape attained its own parliament in 1854, followed by a locally accountable Prime Minister in 1872. Britain introduced more plant species such as rooikrans and eucalyptus during the 1850s-60s. Cape Government Railways built the area’s first railway line circa 1859. In 1867, diamonds were discovered in Northern Cape Province’s Griqualand West area. The 1886 Witwatersrand Gold Rush flooded South Africa with immigrants. In 1895, Cape Town’s first public power station, the Graaff Electric Lighting Works, opened. The Second Boer War (October 11, 1899 – May 31, 1902) between the United Kingdom and the South African Republic, Orange Free State and Cape Boers resulted in a British victory, dissolution of the South African Republic and the Orange Free State and the Treaty of Vereeniging, which officially ended the Second Boer War. The Treaty granted self-government to the Boer colonies. On May 31 1910, the Union of South Africa was created, with Cape Town becoming the Union’s legislative capital. Johannesburg overtook Cape Town as the Union of South Africa’s largest city in 1936. 480 acres of developed land were added to Cape Town’s City Bowl area circa 1945. In 1950, Cape Town ‘s new apartheid government introduced the Group Areas Act, which classified and segregated urban areas according to race. The District Six suburb was declared whites-only in 1965, housing was demolished therein, and residents were forcibly removed, mostly to the Cape Flats area (remember to avoid). Since the end of the 17th century, the area’s Robbin Island had been used not as a penal colony, but as a place of incarceration for political prisoners. One of Robben Island’s most infamous prisoners was anti-apartheid activist, lawyer and eventual president Nelson Mandela, who served 18 of his 27 years of imprisonment therein. On April 27, 1994, Cape Town’s first democratic election was held. Following apartheid, Cape Town experienced economic growth, mainly from international investment and tourism, though the city has been affected negatively by water and power shortages, turf wars and gang activity outside of tourist areas.
South Africa’s capital and oldest city, Cape Town is home to around 430,000 “Capetonians”. With its Portuguese roots, over 80% of Mother City’s population identifies as Christian. Cape Town welcomes around 3 million visitors annually. Food and fashion retailer Woolworths is headquartered in the city. Over 3,300 feet high, Table Mountain, with its characteristic flat top, is one of the world’s most distinguishable mountains, accessible by cableway or on foot. Around 2,200 different plant species exist on Table Mountain. Many types of Table Mountain’s proteas, or flowering plants known also as sugarbushes, are found nowhere else in the world. As introduced by Europeans throughout its history, Cape Town’s biodiversity is one of the world’s highest-ranking. Apart from penguins and seals, otters, ostriches and baboons are some of the area’s other types of wildlife. Although Great White Sharks are not as abundant as they once were, wintertime is still considered the best time to go Shark Cage Diving due to better visibility. A warm, Mediterranean climate accounts for mild winters and warm summers. Similar to Melbourne, Cape Town may experience rapid weather changes during winter months, which last from June to September. Aside from Table Mountain and other peaks, Cape Town is absent from snow and frost during winter. For much of the year, Mother City’s high temperatures average above 70s degrees Fahrenheit, with cool to warm evenings. Additional points of interest include Robben Island Museum, St. George’s Cathedral, Grand Parade (square), Central Business District (City Bowl), Devil’s Peak, Signal Hill, Clifton Beach, Sandy Bay (nudist beach), Cape Floristic Region, Simon’s Town, Cape Town City Hall, Houses of Parliament, Port of Cape Town and University of Cape Town. A common cooking method in Cape Town is barbecue, especially when the power goes out. Local foods include various seafoods of course, the Gatsby sandwich (submarine sandwich filled with French fries, known as chips, and choice of fillings / sauces), Bobotie (baked spiced minced meat, topped with egg, French fries, various other fillings – steak, fish, calamari, chicken, sausage), koeksisters (cake-like pastry), Malva pudding and Cape Brandy Pudding. Beer and of course wine are popular alcoholic beverages. Equipped with some background knowledge on the area, we’re ready for Cape Town accommodations that will help make for a memorable experience.
