Located in the heart of Cape Town, Taj Cape Town is within walking distance of many tourist attractions and businesses.

Taj Cape Town truly has international standards. We’ve stayed in many of Cape Town’s “top” hotels, but Taj stands out above the rest in both elegance and guest services. Highly recommended.

Providing garden views, Atholl House in Cape Town offers accommodations and a garden. This property offers a pool with a view and free private parking.

The property, location, and views were absolutely stunning. The grounds are very well maintained by the groundskeeper (cant recall his name) who was onsite everyday and very courteous. Hats off to him for keeping up the beautiful esthetics! We used the hell out of the honesty bar which was super convenient and every day there were new baked goods available for all house guests. Prudence, the house chef, was literally the whipped cream and cherry on top for our stay. She greeted us, gave a tour, and made scrumptious made-to-order meals for us each morning alongside candle lit place settings. She also assisted us with check-out. She definitely deserves a raise/promotion for being more than a chef for this property.

    Almost perfect. Nice, modern apartment with everything you need for a short stay. The property host Xolisa was 5 stars. He went above and beyond to cater for any need we had and was always very prompt in finding a solution. It is very well located, with shops, restaurants and gyms all around 5 minutes away. Great experience!

    So much to like about this property, the host goes above & beyond to ensure a immaculate stay ahead sealed with comfort for her guests. The layout, amenities, cleanliness we were spoiled for choice even with some treats,bottled water, milk etc. & even yogurts for my little one (absolutely appreciate the efforts & spoils by this amazing friendly host.) The safety, peaceful area, gated safe parking & so much more good to add. This Hidden Gem gets a definite 5 stars from me.

    Simply sensational. Our penthouse had the most unimaginable views of the the VA Waterfront and ocean. The suite itself had everything we could ever think to ask for and the Netflix and fast Wi-Fi were great. The hotels location is also incredible with dozens of eateries, coffee shops, convenience stores all with in 2 minutes walking distance. Great gym in the building as well (extra cost) as well as convenient grocery store on the ground floor and a lovely coffee shop as well. Luxury 5 star accommodation the way it should be done.
