Starting with the most basic of backpacking and youth hostel options, through quaint B&B’s and elegant guests houses, to a wide range of hotels – boutiques, chains, elite 5 stars – not to mention every level of self-catering – there is not one need in the accommodation department that Cape Town cannot meet

The rates vary depending on both the type of accommodation you choose and on the time of year you plan to visit.

One of the great things about Cape Town is that no matter where you choose to stay you are never too far away from all the action.

Cape Town Climate

Green Season
The months between April and September are low-season, and many Cape Town accommodation establishments offer ‘Green Season’ specials – great for picking up some fabulous bargains in accommodation!

Off-Season
This is a great time to visit, although Cape Town is a winter rainfall region there are often fantastic days with crisp, clear skies. Cape Town is also very romantic in Winter and many of the up-market establishments feature fireplaces and air-con for regulating temperatures. So snuggling up with your partner while watching the mists roll in from the sea through the window becomes an appealing option after a day’s exploration of the countryside, museums and art galleries, or many world-class shopping malls.

Low Season
Autumn and Spring offer pleasant weather, generally, as the famous South Easter wind which sometimes whips along the coast in the full Summer months takes a break in these cooler seasons.
Prices tend to be considerably lower at these times than in High and Peak season, for accommodation as well as other tourist attractions.

High and Peak Season
Understandably, the majority of visitors to Cape Town look forward to soaking up the African sun, so Summer is the time of year that attracts the greatest numbers of visitors to the city. The prices are higher, but worth it if you really want to experience the city at its most vivacious.
