Need to know Daily rates are more affordable during these periods, and flights are more readily available. While the Cape is still popular with international vistors, it is a lot quieter because the locals have gone back to work!

How do the rental rates work?
Each house rental is charged on a flat rate per day.
What are the check-in and check-out times?
Cape Hideaways homes are made available to you from 2pm on the day of your arrival, and before 10am for your departure. We will be able to accommodate you with other times if you inform us at the time of your booking, and the rental home is able to meet this request.
How do I book into my rental?
A Cape Hideways staff member will meet you at your rental the day you arrive to show you around and settle you in. If you have any concerns, or requirements, please discuss this with our representative, or contact our offices, and we will do our best to assist you.
I want to book! How do I go about it?
Cape Hideaways will send you the paperwork, which includes a Reservation Agreement between you (the Tenant) and the home owner (Property Owner). This needs to be filled out, signed and emailed to us. Once we have this and the non-refundable booking deposit (50% of the total rental) we will confirm your booking.
On your arrival at your rental, we require a breakage and security deposit from you. This agreed-upon amount will be frozen on your credit card, and will cover breakages, damages, telephone calls or other charges that may be incurred during your stay. These charges will be deducted if required and the remainder of the deposit released to you.

[av_textblock size=” font_color=” color=”]
How do I get around Cape Town?
Uber is popular and reliable, so if you have already downloaded the App you will be able to use it seamlessly here. However, public transport is unreliable so we recommend you hire a car for your stay. This needs to be booked well in advance in peak season. Most car hire companies have offices at the airport, so you can collect your car when you arrive. Ask if they can meet you at the arrivals terminal and take you to their offices. You can also drop the car at the airport when you leave. Alternatively, you can book a transfer company to meet you and take you to your destination.
Are there any road laws I need to know about?
You will need a valid international driver’s licence to drive a car in South Africa. Our speed limits on highways range between 100 kph (62 mph) and 120 kph (75 mph). In urban areas it is generally 60 kph (37 mph). You will drive on the left-hand side of the road, so if you are unfamiliar or nervous, we recommend you hire an automatic car. Seat belts are compulsory and you may not talk on a mobile phone while driving. Petty theft, smash and grabs or remote jamming are unfortunately common, so we recommend you remove all items from your car when parked.
What other services do you offer?
All linen and towels are included in your holiday stay. Please let us know if you require baby cots, high chairs or other specific items to suit your family’s needs. Should you require a maid service during your stay, please contact us and we will arrange this at an additional cost. The same goes for babysitting, au pair services or chefs.
