Huge open blue skies, ocean and mountains in every direction, smiling faces and bright sunshine. There’s no better way to experience Cape Town’s unique rhythm than living the local way.

your home

With this experience you’ll feel like you’ve slipped from being a local in your home town to being a local in Cape Town. We’ll put you up in a cosy, chic apartment  just off Kloof Street, in the heart of the city. You’ll be collected from the airport, dropped off at the More Quarter Suites and handed your keys. Welcome to your South African home from home.

This is where your ‘daily life’ begins. But don’t worry, we won’t desert you: you’ll have a dedicated contact to call whenever you want recommendations, to make a booking, or simply ask directions.

Got the post-flight munchies? No problem. Head for your fridge, where you’ll find snacks waiting for you. On the coffee table you’ll find your all-important Little Black Tomato Book created by us and our local insiders. This guide to the city is your up-to-date bible for your stay, and will include a list of recommended restaurants, bars and key phone numbers (think taxis and local trusted contacts) to help everything run smoothly.
