Cape Town Visit

[steve71]

Does anyone have any ideas on best areas to stay and hotel recommendations for an upcoming 3 night stay in Capetown. This will take place the beginning of May in 2026. Want to be able to walk safely.to restaurants and shops ( the wife ). Thanks

Green Point, Camp's Bay are both great areas.

I recently posted my recommendations for restaurants and more in the western cape.

We have stayed in Higgovale, Tamberksloef, City Bowl, Gardens, Sea Point and Camps Bay. Outside of Bo Kap I have been comfortable walking in all of the more downtown areas.

For shops and restaurants I would say VA Waterfront, Camps Bay and Gardens are ideal.

V&A waterfront year round. In RSA summer months Camps Bay.

I stayed at the Commodore last August. Short walk to the wharf, great eating places, safe. It was a huge surprise after many trips through Joburg and that anxiety. They have an incredible breakfast buffet. Only regret was we didn't stay an extra day. VERY reasonable for everything.

In these places, can you stay there if you have rifles?

watching closely as I too will be there but in April. I will have rifles as well.

V&A Waterfront is probably the most convenient but will come at an increased cost. I’ve stayed at the Double Tree and the Canopy (both Hilton properties) and covered the cost of the stay with points.

Driving in Cape Town is very easy and stress free. I’d suggest you consider renting a car and driving to some of the sights instead of relying on walking, the hop on/off bus, or hiring a car. It’ll open up a world of possibilities.

My buddy took his rifle, no problems and a breeze compared to Joburg
