About Sea Point

Sea Point is a vibrant, bustling part of the city, centrally located within the Atlantic Seaboard. Sea point Accommodation can be found on the Sea Point Promenade which runs the length of the beachfront while Main Road boasts an array of shops, restaurants, and coffee shops to satisfy even the most avid socialite.

We have a wide array of Cape Town guest houses near the beach, as well as beachfront accommodation for those who can’t get enough of the waves. The small, vibrant suburb of Green Point on the lower slopes of Signal Hill lies between Sea Point and the commercial centre of Cape Town, very close to the popular V&A Waterfront.

The main thoroughfare of Somerset Road that runs just below the main residential part of Green Point is lined with a great variety of restaurants, shops, cafes and night clubs and cabaret bars, making this one of the liveliest and fun parts of town to stay for those who enjoy a great night out.

Green Point is also extremely well placed for enjoying the excellent beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, just a 10-15 minute drive away and with the Waterfront and City Centre so close at hand Green Point really makes a great base as a holiday destination. The suburb has also taken on a much higher profile and benefited from improvements to infrastructure with the Cape Town Stadium being built on Green Point common between the residential area and the ocean, where there is also a fabulous award winning park and nearby golf course, the closest in Cape Town to the City centre.

The nearby beachfront promenade area beyond the Stadium around Mouille Point is a very popular place for locals and visitors to walk, jog and cycle enjoying fabulous ocean views, and it’s also not far to both the excellent large Virgin Active gym and the 50m outdoor swimming pool in Sea Point set dramatically above the (much colder) Atlantic ocean
