About Cape Town Direct
Cape Town Direct is part of the wider Accommodation Direct group and lists a wide range of accommodation establishments in and around Cape Town. They list hotels, villas, guest houses and more, in all price categories, from luxury to budget. What I like about their directory is its clean look, the site’s responsiveness, and well-structured listings.
How it works
What’s nice about their business model is that the client (i.e. you) deals directly with the accommodation owner – Cape Town Direct doesn’t play middleman, so there’s never a “broken telephone” problem, and there’s no monetary incentive for them to push one listing above another.
When you’ve found somewhere that you’d like to book or get more information about, you just fill in the online form and submit it. The accommodation owner will then receive an email with your contact details and respond to your query directly.
