TO DO
I recently stayed at 117 on Strand in Cape Town CBD, and I wasn’t expecting it to be this convenient, stylish, and perfectly located. From walking to the CTICC to exploring Bo-Kaap and enjoying nearby restaurants, this stay completely changed how I experience Cape Town. Here’s exactly what it’s like—and why I’d stay here again.

What Really Happened? Lions Head Guided Hike
🌃 Starting in the City: 16 on Bree, Cape Town CBD
My experience started high above the city—on the rooftop at 16 on Bree, right in the heart of Cape Town CBD.
From up there, Bree Street disappears into a sea of lights. The buildings glow, the streets feel alive, and the rooftop pool sits completely still, reflecting the skyline like a mirror.
It’s one of those moments where everything slows down.
And honestly, it felt like more than just accommodation—it felt like the right way to start a Cape Town experience 😌
🌄 From CBD to Mountain: Guided Lions Head Hike
And then… Cape Town shifts gears 😅
From the calm of the CBD…
to the climb of Lions Head.
Next thing I know, I’m on the chain section—
holding on, stepping carefully, fully committed 😂
But this is where going guided makes a difference. No guessing routes, no stress—just following someone who knows exactly what they’re doing.
And as I climb higher, something clicks…
The same city I was looking at from 16 on Bree the night before…
is now opening up beneath me.
Cape Town from above hits different.
🍽️ From Mountain to Waterfront: One&Only Lunch
And just when the climb starts catching up with you…
Everything slows down again.
Now I’m at the One&Only, right at the V&A Waterfront.
The energy shifts instantly—calm, polished, effortless. You sit down, take a breath, and suddenly realise how much just happened in one day.
Food arrives, perfectly presented…
and just like that, the whole experience feels complete.
🔁 The Flow: Why This Cape Town Experience Works
What stood out most was how everything connected.
From
16 on Bree in the CBD…
to
Lions Head above the city…
to
the One&Only at the Waterfront…
It’s all the same Cape Town—just experienced from different angles.
City.
Mountain.
Lifestyle.
And somehow… it all flows.
💡 Why I’d Recommend This Exact Setup
If you want to experience Cape Town properly, this combination just works:
👉 Stay central at
16 on Bree (CBD)
👉 Do a
guided Lions Head hike (safe + structured)
👉 Finish at the
One&Only V&A Waterfront (reset properly)
It’s simple… but it feels premium, effortless, and well put together.
😅 Final Thoughts
Would I do it again?
Yes…
Just maybe with a little less confidence the night before 😂
Because Cape Town doesn’t just give you views…
it gives you experiences that actually flow together.
