Introduction
The Grand Daddy Hotel is most welcoming and hospitable for all those that stay. This family-owned hotel is ideal for those who appreciate the inner city vibe with restaurants, bars and clubs on almost every corner.
Without question, the Grand Daddy is better known for those classic Airstream caravans on the roof.
Let us be honest here (as we have stayed in the caravans), to spend a few nights on a roof of a building in the middle of Cape Town in a trailer has to be one of the coolest experiences ever.
Rooms and Suites
All the superior rooms within the hotel itself offer up that typical 4-star comfort and refinement that one would expect, the mountain face rooms are our personal favourites.
Now onto that rooftop where those seven classic Airstream caravans are waiting for you.
More of a novelty than anything else but they do come highly recommended by us (just for that something exciting and fun).
Cuisine and Wine
Breakfasts are a right royal treat and up there with the best in Cape Town.
Should you want to eat in the hotel, there is The Showroom Café that offers incredibly scrumptious corner café delights. Well worth a lunch or dinner stop while staying in the hotel.
Family Friendly
Children are more than welcome while kids up to two years old are free of charge.

Climbing Table Mountain
Table Mountain is one of the most iconic landmarks in Cape Town, and with the Aerial Cableway closed for a few weeks, now is the perfect time to explore its many paths.
A hike up Skeleton Gorge provides an opportunity to experience nature's beauty while gathering breathtaking views along the way.
With record numbers of visitors coming to Cape Town due to its designation as World Design Capital 2014, and inclusion as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, it is no wonder why this city has been gaining so much attention.
Horse Riding in Cape Town
Experience an unforgettable adventure and explore the beauty of Cape Town by horseback.
Just a short drive from the centre of town, you will find Noordhoek – a sleepy community known for its stunning beach that stretches for over eight kilometres and is bordered by wetlands, Chapmans Peak and Kommetjie lighthouse.
Sleepy Hollow Horse Riding offers outrides on this beach where you can ride through dunes, trot across pools of water and even visit the skeletal remains of an old steamship wreck!
Cape Town Kite Festival
The 19th annual Cape Town Kite Festival was held at the beginning of November in Muizenberg, bringing together over 20,000 people for a two-day event.
The festival featured stunt kiting exhibitions, Japanese-inspired Rokkaku kite battles, and a Heritage Kite Competition that encouraged children to build South African swallow or bat-style kites from scratch.
In addition to the fun activities on offer, the festival also supports Cape Mental Health charity and provides an opportunity for local businesses and visitors alike to experience the beauty of Cape Town and Muizenberg.
