Your destination is Cape Town -- the most scenic, sophisticated and well-run city in Africa (some of us would say the southern hemisphere) -- and your experience of this beautiful city will hinge almost entirely on your choice of accomodation in Cape Town.

Natural beauty, convenience and full functionality, good value and privacy are all inherent in the quality accomodation in Cape Town.

Most holidaymakers and businessmen have often overlooked Green Point in the past with regards to accomodation in Cape Town.

This area which is located on the western border of Cape Town city and close to the Waterfront is continously being upgraded.

The 2010 Soccer World Cup will be hosted at the Green Point stadium which is currently in it's completion stages and has helped invigorate this increasingly fashionable area.

There weren't many reasons to frequent Green Point up until quite recently.

There was the Cape Town traffic department, known as Gallows Hill (the penalties for parking transgressions were severe and final), still there, still uncharming yet necessary.

If you were feeling a little gay or a lot gay then The Bronx bar was a reliable meeting place for gentlefolk.

And ladies would stand on display on the corners of streets with staid names such as St George's and Vesperdene.

All these factors made Green Point quite an unsavoury place - at least for tourists when choosing accomodation in Cape Town.

Green Point has always had character but now as a result of development and modernisation the suburb has become fashionable as an area to live and play in.

This has opened up a large choice of accomodation in Cape Town for the holiday and business traveller.

As one moves west of Cape Town, along Somerset Road, the influence of the aflluent V&A Waterfront cannot be ignored.

There is no more room for expansion in the Waterfront Marina where the exclusive location and setting has resulted in a high demand for this type of accomodation in Cape Town.

This has resulted in a similiar quality of development in Greenpoint which lies on the V&A Waterfront's southern boundary.

And so the Green Point stretch alongside this has responded with a swathe of glossy and modern apartment blocks and luxury all-suite hotels.

The reason Green Point apartments are an excellent choice for accomodation in Cape Town is that while delivering better value for money they have easy access to all the V&A Waterfont's attrations & facilities.

And of course Green Point scores points for its street credibility which the more tourist-orientated V&A Waterfront lacks.

Good food outlets, trendy restaurants, delicatessens, coffee shops, a few first floor balcony lounge bars and the massive liquor and wine warehouse, Ultra Liquors, pepper the pavements and add to the unpretentious groove of Green Point.
