Occupying a Georgian and Victorian building on Cape Town’s fashionable Kloof Street, Cape Cadogan is a bohemian-chic property inspired by the life of Oscar Wilde. Sitting pretty on the slopes of Table Mountain and just a short stroll into the city, the hotel is the perfect eclectic base for exploring the best of Cape Town.
Location
The hotel sits in the suburb of Gardens on the bustling Kloof Street. It’s just a 10-minute drive to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront or a safe 20-minute stroll to the city centre. Built on the slopes of Table Mountain, the hotel is also a convenient distance to the cable car for journeys to the top of the mountain.
Rooms
There are 15 luxury rooms decorated with a mixture of contemporary and antique furniture. Ranging from luxury rooms to superior luxury suites, each have king-size beds, writing desks and en-suite bathrooms. The luxury rooms have the addition of lounge areas and fireplaces with the suite offering a private plunge pool.
Communal Areas
In the cosy lounge, a neutral palette combines with accents of colour and decadent touches such as chandeliers and an open fireplace. Breakfasts are served in the bright and breezy dining area which overlooks the swimming pool and gardens, and the well-stocked library offers a quiet place to relax.
Activities
Explore the bohemian wares of Kloof Street with its second-hand bookshops, vintage stores and antique dealers sitting among art galleries, hip cafés and boutiques. The hotel runs complimentary transfers to the V&A Waterfront and can arrange a number of activities. Enjoy a sunset or sunrise picnic on Signal Hill, take a guided hike to the top of Table Mountain, tour the Cape Peninsula and explore the surrounding Winelands. Boat trips to Robben Island are available from the waterfront and Cape Town itself offers a number of museums, historical buildings and nightlife to discover.

SUMMER
Ideal weather with mainly clear skies, very little rainfall and little wind. Midday temperatures will generally reach highs of around 25°C/77°F, occasionally going over 32°C/90°F. Nights are warm but comfortable.
As with the rest of the Western Cape, the Cape Town can be best described as having a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and mild and wet winters. Ideally, we would recommend visiting in the Spring, Summer or Autumn when the weather is at it’s best within the area. Winter weather is cooler, wetter and often much windier; there are however still a huge number of activities possible and accommodation prices are more competitive.

AUTUMN
This can be a fantastic time of year to visit as the summer's heat subsides, the wind settles and autumn casts its brightly coloured mantle over the vineyards, generating red, burnished vistas spreading from the mountain tops to the sea. Midday temperatures of around 24°C/75°F, mornings can be a little chilly at times, so do pack a warm jumper.

WINTER
The arrival of Winter signifies cooler weather, increased rainfall with weather front often rolling in off the Atlantic Ocean, accompanied by strong winds. In between the weather fronts, the weather can be surprisingly pleasant, these days are just less frequent. This is a spectacular time to see the Western Cape in all of its glory, but just be prepared for any weather!

We spoke to numerous travel agents over the period we looked at booking our honeymoon and only hide and seek gave me the confidence I was looking for. Really pleased with our decision.

Hide and seek dealt with our last minute travel plans extremely well. Obviously, our accommodations shifted as availability diminished but ultimately they came up with a vacation that we will never forget.
