Where to Stay in Cape Town

Sea Point is Cape Town's most popular neighborhood for digital nomads, stretching along the Atlantic coastline between Green Point and Bantry Bay. The famous Sea Point Promenade offers kilometers of scenic walking and running paths with ocean views. The area is highly walkable with numerous cafes, restaurants, and the beloved Mojo Market for food and live music. Regent Road has become a hotspot for trendy bars and eateries. It's one of the safer areas to walk during the day, though nighttime caution is still advised.

Green Point sits between Sea Point and the V&A Waterfront, offering excellent centrality and a calm residential atmosphere. The area features Green Point Park, a beautiful urban park with fitness facilities and playgrounds. Home to the Cape Town Stadium and the iconic Green Point Lighthouse, it's well-connected to the city. Main Road has a growing selection of restaurants and bars, while Caffe Neo offers sea views perfect for laptop work. The MyCiti bus runs through here, making transport easy.

De Waterkant is a small, trendy enclave between Green Point and the CBD, known for its cobbled streets and colorful Cape Victorian cottages. It's one of Cape Town's safest neighborhoods thanks to 24/7 security patrols. The area is famous for being LGBTQ+ friendly, home to iconic venues like Cafe Manhattan and Pink Candy. Its central location means you can walk to the V&A Waterfront, CBD, and Green Point easily. The area is less affected by load shedding due to the hospital grid.

Woodstock is Cape Town's creative hub, a semi-industrial area transformed into a vibrant neighborhood of art galleries, design studios, and trendy cafes. The Old Biscuit Mill hosts the famous Neighbourgoods Market every Saturday. Home to many coworking spaces and studios, it attracts artists, entrepreneurs, and digital nomads seeking an edgier vibe. However, safety is a concern, especially after dark, and the area is less walkable than coastal neighborhoods. Best for those with a car.
