      We are looking to stay at a BNB in Cape Town for six nights when we arrive. Due to being both seniors, is there an area you might suggest we stay in? I am hoping for a nice view, the ocean maybe?

    • Cullinan Guided JourneysOperatorWritten August 2024

      Sea Point is incredibly affordable. There is a 3.5-star guest home called Amoris Guest Home-Sea Point. Elizabeth, please keep your camera off your chest and constantly be aware of your surroundings whilst traveling.
