Enjoy a Workation in Cape Town in 2024

In the last few years, Cape Town has increasingly been earmarked as a popular work destination by global travellers, digital nomads, travelling families or couples and even ordinary businesspeople.

In the past, these would have been people who wished to work while travelling or who travelled to this beautiful South African city for work meetings or conferences but then ended up staying longer to truly experience Cape Town.

These days, though, it’s not only digital nomads or business travellers who can see the benefits of working remotely in a different city.

Workations, too, are growing in popularity in Cape Town. Especially as the remote work culture (properly brought about during COVID and lockdown) continues to offer a new, more balanced way of life for many.

If you’re unfamiliar with the term ‘workation’, it simply involves an employee or worker travelling somewhere to work remotely from a new location.

Many people use workations to escape their ‘old’ normal or for a change of pace or scenery. They may see it as a way to travel and explore more of the world (after hours, of course). In some cases, it even simply be a way for them to experience the culture and atmosphere of a new city for a month or two before heading onto their next (work) destination!

No matter your personal reasons for needing a workation, if you’re looking for an amazing city to use for your next workation, Cape Town is the perfect destination. And, in this post, we share how and where to enjoy an unforgettable workation in Cape Town in 2024:

Book Long-term Cape Town Accommodation for Your Next Workation

While some travellers like to flit from one accommodation stay or hotel to the next, many remote workers need a set, established base from which they can easily ‘work and play’.

If this sounds like you, why not book one of DK Villa’s beautiful Hout Bay accommodation offerings?

Especially as, for guests who book stays longer than 30 days with us, DK Villas offers a 25% discount on any of our apartments.

Plus, with three stunning Hout Bay apartments for you to choose from, in our Harbour View, The Boardwalk and Riverview apartments respectively, we have you sorted when it comes to an ideal, yet luxurious temporary homebase in the Mother City.

Each of our city apartments has its own unique charm and appeal. Additionally, all three apartments are securely located; offer a host of incredible amenities and convenient facilities; provide gorgeous views of Hout Bay and surrounds; and above all, offer a tranquil, yet well situated stay in Cape Town.

While our apartments are regrettably not pet-friendly, we warmly welcome children, which makes our apartments incredibly family-friendly! This is especially useful for remotely working parents, who may be visiting with young kids or for families who are doing online schooling or homeschooling.

For larger families or those travelling as a group, our spacious, three-bedroom Harbour View apartment is the perfect stay for up to six guests (including children).

While our two-bedroom, two-bathroom Boardwalk apartment sleeps four guests (including children). This makes it better suited to families of four, a group of friends or even two visiting couples.

Lastly, we have our Riverview apartment, which comfortably sleeps two guests, including children. This apartment is ideal for single parents, solo travellers and of course, couples.

Best of all, our added features, including free WiFi, washing machines, tumble dryers, TVs and weekly cleaning services (for long stays exceeding six (6) nights), perfectly gear our DK Villa’s apartments towards remote working or workations.

If, however, you prefer to work beyond the walls of our beautiful, safe apartments, Cape Town also has many coworking spaces (that is, shared working spaces suitable for any budget), as well as many cafes and restaurants that you can easily work remotely in for a few hours or days at a time, if needed.

After-hours or on weekends, you can also use our apartments as the perfect base from which to explore all the Mother City has to offer. With a host of great restaurants and cafes, shops, beaches and even markets close by in Hout Bay and so many other excellent experiences, activities and offerings in broader Cape Town, as well as the Cape Winelands to savour, there’s no shortage of awesome things to do in your free time.

Because, as anyone on a workation will tell you, it can’t be all about work and no play; you have to find your balance!
