Family Accommodation
Cape Town

Family accommodation can be tricky because needs vary so widely. And no one wants to spend their holiday in a tree-shack!

I have selected the options on this page to accommodate younger families for those of us who still need a suite or inter-leading rooms because the kids want to be close to Mum and Dad.

Find Family-Friendly Hotels in Cape Town

Protea Hotels offer great options for families, and this is my favourite of the Cape Town Protea Hotels . It’s close to the beach, out of the urban hullabaloo of the City Centre but less than 15 minutes from the Waterfront.

For five star family hotels, consider the Cape Grace (right in the Waterfront), or the Radisson (love it, love it – that would be MY first choice with the kids). For a more country feel, this one in Tokai or another in Kenilworth are great options.

Stay in a child-friendly Cape Town Guest House

We opt for a guest house when we want a little pampering. They’re more indulgent than a B & B, less pricey than hotels.

Here are my top picks... a Hout Bay guest house which welcomes family parties and our favourite – right on the beach in Kommetjie.

Rent a Cape Town Villa – great choice particularly for multi-generation family groups!

Most of the best Cape town villas are clustered along the Atlantic Seaboard, though you’ll find villa-style accommodation elsewhere, too.

Wine estate farm accommodation

The Cape Winelands is worth more than a day trip. If you can fit it into your itinerary, plan to overnight on one of the farms and really take the time to enjoy your tranquil surroundings.

This is my favourite family spot en route from Stellenbosch to Franschhoek. For a little more luxury (a wellness centre on the property!) and great family suites, this country house near Stellenbosch is on my wish list.
