Cape Town has a way of switching on holiday mode the moment you arrive. Whether you’re easing into a well-deserved break or planning a quick escape from everyday life, the Mother City offers stays that match every mood, pace and preference. And with DG Properties curating a standout selection of short-term rentals and vacation villas, finding the perfect holiday base becomes part of the excitement.
From seaside apartments with sunrise views to spacious villas designed for group getaways, the options feel almost endless, but in the best way. Here’s how to shortlist your ideal Cape Town stay and make the most of the city’s festive energy.
Find your perfect holiday setting
Cape Town’s neighbourhoods each offer their own flavour, especially during the holiday season. If you’re drawn to ocean views and days spent wandering between beaches and cafés, look toward the Atlantic Seaboard. DG Properties has a range of apartments and villas in areas like Camps Bay, Clifton and Sea Point, giving you premium access to the coastline.
Prefer something artistic and walkable? The City Bowl and Woodstock deliver a vibrant blend of culture, cuisine and creativity. For those craving wine, food and open spaces, the winelands-adjacent suburbs offer charming homes that feel worlds away without being far from the action.
Whatever your style, DG Properties’ short-term listings make it easy to filter by size, location, amenities and budget, so you land on a space that genuinely suits your holiday plans.
Luxury villas that set the scene
Nothing says “holiday has officially begun” like arriving at a private villa built for relaxation. DG Properties offers several upscale villas perfect for family trips, group retreats or romantic escapes. Think infinity pools overlooking the ocean, entertainment decks made for long summer evenings, and interiors that blend comfort and elegance.
The beauty of a villa stay is having everything in one place: a kitchen for lazy breakfasts, living spaces for gathering, and quiet corners for mid-afternoon downtime. Add daily servicing or concierge-style assistance, and it becomes a personalised home away from home.
Short stays for spontaneous plans
Not every holiday needs weeks of planning. Cape Town thrives on spur-of-the-moment adventures, and short-term rentals make it easy to be flexible. There are plenty of compact, stylish options ideal for solo travellers, couples or digital nomads looking to explore at their own pace.
Whether you want to spend a weekend hopping between wine farms, checking out new eateries or simply walking the prom in Mouille Point, there’s a convenient, ready-to-book stay waiting.
Make the most of the holiday season in the Mother City
Once you’ve found your base, Cape Town’s summer magic takes care of the rest. You can spend your mornings at Clifton or Beta Beach, enjoy long lunches in Constantia, stroll through markets at the V&A Waterfront or Oranjezicht, or explore Table Mountain’s many trails. Evenings bring sundowners on rooftops, sunset drives along Chapman’s Peak, and festive pop-ups all over the city.
For families, there’s plenty to enjoy too, from penguin-viewing in Simon’s Town to picnics at Kirstenbosch and boat trips from the harbour.
With such a variety of experiences, choosing the right accommodation helps shape the tone of your holiday. Whether you want pure relaxation, adventure, culture or a bit of everything, DG Properties has something that fits.
