Great choice
Sea Five is a firm favourite in the YZ office due to its stunning location and good value for money! It’s just a short stroll into Camps Bay but set back from the main parade, so it offers convenience and peace and privacy.

Camps Bay Beach
Clifton Beach
Table Mountain Aerial Gateway

V&A Waterfront
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
District Six Museum

Just 300 metres from Sea Five, Camps might just be Cape Town’s most glamorous sandy spot. It’s brilliant for beach activities, fine dining, or simply soaking up some sun.
Not far from Camps Bay, this sheltered series of four coves is a top pick at Yellow Zebra. And 4th Beach is adjacent to La Med, our go-to for sundowners every time.
A trip up the famous mountain by cable car, to enjoy amazing views!
An excursion to Africa’s south-western tip, renowned for the quality of its beaches. While you’re here, you could also visit Boulders Beach to see plenty of penguins, and Simonstown or Fishhoek for a little culture too.
Situated approximately 7 kilometres off the coast, this is where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 of his 27 years behind bars. The island is accessed from Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront.
No stay in the Mother City is complete without at least one afternoon spent exploring the V&A’s shops, markets, eateries, and bars!
Full to the brim with indigenous flora, these gardens never fail to thrill, and they’re a great destination for a picnic lunch.
A fascinating exhibition of images, artefacts, and recordings, a lot of them provided by the district’s ex-residents.
The Mother City’s stunning venue for concerts, trade shows, and festivals. Sea Five’s staff will let you know what’s on here during your stay!

The communal areas at Sea Five are just as pleasant as the suites and rooms.
In the lounge, comfortable sofas and armchairs are positioned amidst coffee and occasional tables, with elegant lighting, fresh flowers, and sophisticated wall artwork contributing to the super-chic style. Immaculate individual tables-and-chairs are arranged in the dining area in readiness for delicious breakfasts every morning, with beautiful views out to sea. Sliding doors open into the hotel’s pool bar, which has both lounge and dining furniture and is a fabulous setting for tucking in to sandwiches, salads, and sundowners, all served on request. And adjacent to this space is, of course, the swimming pool itself, the perfect place to relax between activities! Spa treatments and yoga can be arranged too.
