overview

Explore Cape Town from the perfectly-located Winchester Mansions Hotel. Situated in Sea Point and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, the hotel has easy access to several major attractions as well as the city centre. The popular city beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton are a short drive away, as is the ever-popular V&A Waterfront but the hotel is also right on the sea-facing promenade, a favourite spot for lazy evening walks or a scenic early morning run.

The activities available in and around Cape Town are both diverse and plentiful: from walking the city streets to surfing, mountain hiking to fine dining and wine tasting, there's something for everyone. This family-friendly hotel prides itself in putting the comfort and happiness of its guests first so just ask the staff for their suggestions for things to do and help with bookings and reservations.

Traveller Reviews

  • Well, to start with, we all had a wonderful and fun filled holidays. We had a comfortable stay at all destinations especially at Winchester Mansions in Cape Town. They were very hospitable and we loved the city. Cape town is really beautiful . Kids simply loved the city.

    Anamika Rastogi, August 2012

  • Winchester Mansions was perfect in every way. The service, the location, the food, the rooms. Just pure delight, which certainly increased the pleasure of being in already such a wonderfully unique city like Cape Town.

    Emma Goldsmith, April 2012

  • Winchester Mansions was such a nice place to stay! We enjoyed the complimentary bottle of wine and snacks. It was definitely a more luxury place than we are use to staying in. The staff was very helpful. We would have liked to have one more day in Cape Town to visit the wineries.

    Amy Vangstad, April 2012

  • The Winchester Mansions was great.

    Helen Belcher, April 2012

  • We loved Cape town, the hotel was spectacular. We spent five full days sight-seeing.

    Janie Nickel, September 2011

  • The Winchester Mansions upgraded me to a suite which was sea facing and lovely. The staff at all the hotels were so wonderful. They make you feel like you are so welcome. The food was tremendous.

    Patricia Irvine, September 2011

  • Winchester Mansions in fact has excellent service. The staff are warm and have a lovely family environment which the kids certainly enjoyed as well.

    Vanessa Godinho, August 2011

  • Cape Town is fantastic and the Windchester Mansions is such a great hotel! The room (well... it looked more like an apartment) we got was more then perfect and the hotel staff was very nice too.

    Diana Cunha, March 2011

  • I would recommend the Winchester Mansions to anyone. The room was enormous, which was great for Amelie and they couldn't have been more helpful with the baby. They also arranged a babysitter for us one night, which worked out fine and they did accommodate the early check in which was great after the flight with the little one.

    Sarah Wiley, March 2011

  • Winchester Mansions was very convenient. We had a huge room and excellent food. I left my sunglasses there but they found them and posted them back to me in the UK.
