Travelling to the Mother City often turns into quite an expensive exercise which could, if one is not vigilant, cause credit cards to spontaneously burst into flames and self-destruct.

With a myriad of 5-star hotels with 5-star price tags employing their crafty tactics to seduce your senses, there is an alternative that is just as comfortable – sans the room service and extortionate prices. Enter the modern self-catering or bed-and-breakfast establishment. Cape Town is home to some of the finest B&B and self-catering establishments and the best part is, you’ll be able to afford it!
