The beautiful city of Cape town, in South Africa, is home to many attractions for the intrepid explorer. With an amazing array of culture, history, and stunning scenery, it is no wonder tourists flock to the area every year. One of the more popular tourist activities is self catering, either booking a hotel room or staying in an apartment or villa. This blog post will look at the many reasons why self catering is a great option when travelling to Cape Town in South Africa.

One of the major benefits of self catering is the cost savings – with the potential to save up to 30%-40% on traditional accommodation. You can find self catering accommodation in all price ranges, so whatever your budget you're sure to find an option to suit your pocket. In addition, you can often get much bigger and more spacious apartments or villas than a hotel room or suite, so if you're travelling with a large group or family, self catering can be a great option to ensure everyone is comfortable and has enough room.

Another great advantage of self catering is the choices of meals that are available. 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.

In conclusion, there are many reasons to choose self catering when travelling to Cape Town in South Africa. With cost savings, freedom and flexibility, and a great range of meals available, it is an attractive option for all types of travelers.
