Planning a trip to the fascinating destination of Cape Town<\/strong>, at the very southern tip of the African continent, can sometimes be tricky\u2014especially when you start sorting through hundreds of accommodation options. But I have some wonderful news to share right away: regular power cuts, known as load shedding, have been suspended since 26 March 2024<\/strong>. Just two years ago, having a generator was essential and one of the main criteria when choosing a place to stay. Today, however, South Africa has enjoyed its most stable electricity supply in more than five years<\/strong>, and a generator is now more of a welcome bonus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You also no longer need to worry about the dreaded water shortage. No blanket restrictions are currently in place<\/strong>, and the city even lifted its precautionary drought warning at the beginning of 2026. When choosing the right area, completely different factors now matter\u2014most importantly, the prevailing wind and how safe you feel after dark<\/strong>. You can explore the sights comfortably during the day, but in the evening you will appreciate staying somewhere that means you do not have to make complicated journeys for dinner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are considering renting a private apartment, bear in mind that Cape Town is planning a significant increase in short-term rental rates<\/strong> to bring them more in line with commercial hotel tariffs. Some properties booked through platforms such as Airbnb or Booking already charge a nightly city fee of around $2\u20134 per person<\/strong>. Factor this into your budget, and for longer stays compare prices carefully with traditional guesthouses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
