safety surrounding various hotels.....

by fibbiwibbi

I'm interested in townhouse hotel in the area of garden and surrounding (next to castle of good hope) and st/george hotel in the area of city bowl & bo-kaap (near cape town train station).
I know they are in a prefect location and at a sensible price. But what about the safety?
I have read a serveral guest reviews, very few saying is insecure.
But I would to more comment on it.

to whom had stayed at this 2 hotel or near by, please advice in terms of security..... I'm concerned about my safety ... :(

Many thanks

regards
Tiffany

The area is fine. The area is vibey and night life on Long street pumps.
But like so many cities you must be alert.
I trust you have a great time - Cape Town is a great place. You can even stay in a B&B in a township. People are friendly and love visitors.

Travel Tips for Cape Town

The lay of the land

by Jenniflower

South Africa is made up of 9 provinces, some small, some large, with the 2 small countries of Swaziland and Lesotho landlocked within it's borders. The smallest province, Gauteng, is the most productive of all provinces in South Africa.

The Western Cape is the most visited province overall by travellers and tourists from around the world. Fondly known as the 'fairest Cape' by the locals, it's charm and beauty is world renowned, Cape Town itself being a favourite destination.

Milnerton Lagoon

by cokes

When Driving from Blouberg Strand to Cape Town you drive over the Milnerton Lagoon. I must say its something worth seeing. Its absolutely beautiful and everytime I went pass there you always seem to get people wind surfing and kite flying and so forth.

Well I did a bit of research and for those sporty people. Check out the link below for sports activities to do at the lagoon.

THE ATALANTIC COAST

by PEE-WEE

The Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula has some of the most spectacular coastal scenery in the world.
The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is for the young and the young at heart. It has beaches, restaurants, bars and accommodation with magnificent views. The white sand beaches of Hout Bay, Noordhoek, Kommetjie and Llandudno are of the most beautiful in Cape Town..

The Cape Town Atlantic Seaboard is popular with outdoor enthusiasts, surfers and sea kayakers. Whales visit the coast (June to November) and the road between Kommetjie and Scarborough offers some of the best view sights in Cape Town. Most of the beaches are well protected from the south-easterly wind which makes it perfect for sunbathing. The cold water of the Atlantic Ocean makes for exhilarating swimming.

The Atlantic Seaboard is home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa. It offers a variety of accommodations to visitors, trendy bars, and beaches where the action is as hot as the weather.

Minibus Taxis

by glennkasner

Be very careful and avoid using this mode of transport as many of these vehicles are not roadworthy and drivers are often unlicenced.
When using taxis rather opt for the sedan type that display their tariffs on the doors.

Lovely place for Lunch

by cochinjew about Mozart Cafe

On church street with several tables flowing on to the pavement, with very attentive service.. the second time i was there i was greeted warmly as an old acquaintance and the service was swift and pleasant
there are always lunch specials...
Once i ate there alone during lunchtime when the place was packed and the next time i had a lovely lunch with my professor, dr cecil helman and the local poet laureate, gus ferguson spinach, ricotta and mushroom salad
nice coffee..
