Modern, classy and classic at The Three in Cape Town

By Chelsea Hirschfield


The Three is a 275 year old national building, located in central Cape Town, that has now been turned into a modern boutique hotel. Offering 15 rooms and the perfect roof-top for sundowners with an amazing view of Table Mountain , Devils Peak , Lions Head and Signal Hill , this amazing hotel has been rated 4 stars and can definitely live up to those standards. Every morning a hearty breakfast is served. Hot or cold, whatever you prefer.

Each bedroom is mounted with flat-screen TV's, has access to free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning/heating, hairdryers, tea/coffee facilities, electronic wall safe's and the bathrooms are equipped with modern skin products, robes and frameless rain showers. The Guest House also offers a large swimming pool with a gazebo, a sky-deck that is great for cocktails and a lounge with a fully licensed liquor bar. In these cozy styled rooms all ages are welcome.

As The Three is centrally located in the city, there are so many great activities that you can enjoy. From fine dining to riding the cable car and shopping at the famous V & A Waterfront there is a little something for everyone to enjoy. One can also enjoy walks up Table Mountains or through the Kirstenbosch Gardens or watching cricket or rugby matches at Newlands Stadium where the vibe in the evening is just crazy as everyone gets excited to enjoy a fun game.

The region is also home to some of the best beaches in the country, Clifton beach is very well known for its white sands and big boulders, along with great beach bodies and wind free environment. However I do warn you the water is kind of freezing. Blouberg beach approximately 25 minutes away is known for its great waves a plenty of kite surfers. With a great view of Table Mountain and Robben Island the whole family will definitely enjoy a day at any one of these beaches.

One of the best and safest places to take your children for a day of fun is Ratanga Junction, you can leave you children there for the day and they are guaranteed to have a blast with a variety of awesome rides and shows. For the older folks Cape Town has several amazing wine routes that will leave a picturesque imagine in your head. Go on tours of the farms and wine cellars; as well enjoy great cuisine and fine top quality wines. Staying at The Three will put you in easy and safe driving distance from all the above mentioned attractions.
