Whether you want to spend a day exploring our iconic mountain, laze on a Blue Flag beach, discover your new favorite local dish or immerse yourself in our unique melting pot of cultures and authentic adventures – you’ll find it all right here in Cape Town. Exploring Cape Town has never been this easy – let us take you on this journey! Step outside and discover a world of wonder right on our doorstep. Just a short stroll down the road from the hotel will take you to The Atlantic Ocean where Queen’s Beach and Saunders’ Rock Beach lead onto Sea Point Promenade and the Sea Point Pool. Continue along the Promenade to the famous V&A Waterfront, while looking out for whales, dolphins, and seals along the way. Do you like to hike, trail run, or explore on foot?
