Southern Sun Waterfront Cape Town

Practical, polished and well placed, Southern Sun Waterfront puts Cape Town’s harbour and city centre within easy reach.

The hotel stands on the Foreshore, between the City Bowl and the V&A Waterfront, with Table Mountain rising behind. A complimentary shuttle runs to the V&A every hour from morning until late evening, so a day of shopping, harbour cruises or a visit to the Two Oceans Aquarium needs very little planning.

Days begin with a generous buffet breakfast. In the evening, Yizani serves contemporary South African cooking made with fresh seasonal produce. Look out for the premium grill cuts and save room for a classic malva pudding, all matched by a wine list that celebrates the country’s vineyards. The Waterfront Bar is open through the day for cocktails and light meals.

Between excursions, cool off in the outdoor pool or stretch out on a lounger, work out in the well-equipped gym, or book a massage or facial at Utopia Beauty Salon and Spa. It all adds up to a comfortable, easy-going base for discovering the Mother City.
