Commodore V Waterfront hotel: Vacations at Cape Town - South Africa

Cape Town is the Mother City, South Africa’s oldest city, and one of the world’s most beautiful.

Situated at the south-western tip of South Africa and the African continent, it’s the city of Table Mountain, of Robben Island, of the beautiful Kirstenbosch Gardens, and the spectacular Cape Point... But aside from its natural assets, it’s home to colourful characters from a cross-section of cultures and it has a fascinating history.

A national park within city limits. Two World Heritage Sites. Enough said. Cape Town has one of the widest ranges of attractions in the world. This includes a diverse mix of cultural and heritage sites, outdoor and adventure activities, health and wellness options, entertainment, nature and environment, and wining and dining.

A proud host city for the 2010 FIFA World Cup™, Cape Town is about 1 400km (870mi) from Johannesburg by road and 1 600km (994mi) from Durban (both about a two-hour flight away).

Cape Town is set in one of the most beautiful locations in the world. It is dominated by the mood-setting Table Mountain, which cradles the busy commercial hub of the city between itself and the Atlantic Ocean. It is a key tourist destination because of diverse scenery that includes beaches, forests, mountains and wildlife, but at the same time offers the international visitor world-class service in some of the best hotels, restaurants, tourist attractions and shopping malls in the world.

The city is known for its good weather and outdoor lifestyle. Visitors can enjoy a range of activities on vacations, from skydiving off Lion’s Head onto the world-renowned Camps Bay beach, to sitting at one of the many outdoor cafés enjoying the mix of local flavours and people. There are fun activities for the whole family, romantic destinations for couples, and an exciting nightlife for all ages.

Walk the streets of Cape Town, meet its people and fall in love with a city of hope, creative freedom and incredible spirit.

The Commodore V&A Waterfront hotel is next door to the busy V and A waterfront in Cape Town, South Africa. The hotel is five kilometres from Table Mountain. Robben Island is 20 minutes away by boat. Cape Town International Airport (CPT) is 22 kilometres away.
