Stay Under the Iconic Table Mountain in Cape Town Holiday Accommodati

For centuries, Table Mountain has caught the eye of foreigners travelling to the Cape, mesmerizing them with its sheer size and enchanting them with its beauty. Nowadays, a trip to the Cape isn’t complete without a ride up the Table Mountain Cable way or hike up to the plateau; not only is this a beauty to behold from a distance but also when up close. Recently, the icon of the Mother City won a place in the finals of the New Seven Wonders of Nature competition, and has received thousands of votes from both locals and foreigners.

Table Mountain is a plateau which backdrops the city of Cape Town. Its top is flat and is an incredible 3km in length; long enough to stretch the entire length of the centre of the Mother City. On its left is the legendary Devil’s Peak and on its right is the majestic Lion’s Head – named after how it looks – which offers truly beautiful views of the Mother City and Robben Island, especially during the Full Moon. Table Mountain is part of the Table Mountain National Park which stretches to the Cape Point Nature Reserve on the tip of the Cape peninsula; the mountain’s sheer cliffs mark the end of the range.

This mountain has been photographed by thousands of tourists and professionals, has been the location for thousands of family and school outings, and has been the site of hundreds of marriage proposals. This mountain has also been the focus of calendars hanging in homes all over the world and has been pictured on hundreds of postcards being sent all over the world every month. Undoubtedly, this majestic mountain has played a huge role in enticing thousands of tourists to visit the Cape every year; and although there is an endless list of things to do and see in the Mother City, none of them are quite like a visit to Table Mountain.

Many tourists visiting the Cape choose to stay in Cape Town holiday accommodation or Cape Town self-catering apartments. Whether you choose to stay in the centre of Cape Town, on the slopes of one of the mountains, or on the beach front, you can expect incredible views and an exciting atmosphere surrounding you. As Capetonians are quite laid back, you’ll easily be swept up in the relaxed lifestyles and enjoy the beauty of the city surrounding you.
