Have kids, will travel?

Finding a good family hotel in Cape Town is like finding a needle in a haystack. There are plenty of hotels that accept children, but not many that are actually suitable for kids. I mean, if you take your children traveling all the time to upmarket hotels, then they are used to it and you don’t have to worry. But for most of us, the kids only get to stay in a hotel on very special occassions, so they are likely to put a dirty paw on a white sofa, should there be one in the room!!

Two reasonable accommodation options in Cape Town are the Protea Hotel Sea Point or the Self Catering flats in the Cape Town Waterfront. These both come in at just over R1000 per night, making them affordable and good quality.

The Protea Hotel Sea Point is near the sea, the public swimming pools and has a family Spur restaurant for meals. It is nice and close to all the sights and a short drive from Camps bay and the beaches there.

The Cape Town Waterfront apartments are situated inside the marina area and there is plenty of place to play. The aquarium, scratch patch and boat rides are all within walking distance.
