…pe Town, to perhaps not look so much on Expedia or Travelocity and look at hotels, but actually look for guest houses on Tripadvisor.com or sites like cape town.org and cape town.net. We stay at Derwent House (which is usually #1 or #2 on Tripadvisor.com) and on the blog is a review, photos and video. Or visit my YouTube channel (tipsfortravellers) and take a look.
