Cape Town in summer is one of those destinations where it is almost impossible to run out of things to do.
From mornings at the beach and afternoons exploring Table Mountain to sunset drinks, harbour cruises, shopping and dinner at the V&A Waterfront, summer gives visitors the opportunity to experience Cape Town outdoors.
For travellers asking where to stay in Cape Town during summer, location is everything.
Old Foundry Hotel in De Waterkant provides a central boutique base for experiencing the city's biggest attractions.
Stay Close to Cape Town's Summer Action
Old Foundry Hotel is located in De Waterkant, putting guests close to the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town CBD, the Atlantic Seaboard and many of the city's major attractions.
The V&A Waterfront itself is a major summer destination for locals and international visitors, with shopping, restaurants, harbour activities, entertainment and experiences framed by Table Mountain.
This means you can spend your day exploring Cape Town without spending hours travelling between attractions.
