These Cape Town Airbnbs Offer Views of the Coast and Luxury Amenities

The core of Cape Town is anchored in its outdoor lifestyle, coast, and excellent wine, and all of those things are enjoyed to the fullest in an Airbnb home — not a hotel. If you’re planning a trip to South Africa and have anywhere from a few days to a few weeks in the city, here’s a selection of some of the best Airbnb options. Most of these have baller status but are reasonably affordable. If you’re packing a surfboard or just want to enjoy a cold glass of rosé with ocean views, here are the best Cape Town Airbnb options.
