Apart from the various restaurants rounds Cape Town, you also have the freedom to cook whatever meals you want in your self catering accommodation, so if you want to dine on traditional Cape Town dishes or just your favorite home-cooked meals, this will be possible. This also helps you save money as you don't need to eat out for every meal.
Finally, self catering offers much more freedom and flexibility than other forms of accommodation. Not only does it give you the independence to do as you please, but you will also have the opportunity to explore the city and the surrounding area without being tied to a strict schedule.
