Recent Reviews in Big Bay

The Rockefeller Hotel by NEWMARK

10/10 Excellent

"Very friendly and helpful staff went out of their way to make this a wonderful stay. We got early check-in and our room was nice."

Taj Cape Town

10/10 Excellent

"We absolutely loved our time here! For comparison, earlier we stopped over for one night in Cape Town during our trip and stayed at a supposed luxury hotel directly on the V&A Waterfront. It was awful. We were so glad we had booked a different hotel (The Taj) when we returned to Cape Town the second time, for our final leg of our South Africa trip, a 3 night stay before returning home. Upon entering we already knew it was so much better than the last hotel. Even without comparing, The Taj completely stands on its own in every category: Service: Amazing front desk staff, the bellman’s are so respectful and attentive. The housekeepers and waitstaff were full of smiles. Amazing service and staff. Dining: Wow!! The breakfast blew me away, from the menu to the buffet option, it was fresh, well prepared and delicious! We also ate at their restaurant, Bombay Brasserie, which was delicious! From the chefs tasting bites to the butter chicken, it was great! Spa: Two people in my party got massages (Warrior massages) from different people. One loved their massage and one thought it was okay. Overall, they enjoyed the spa services and would try another service. Overall, we loved our stay so much, we looked up the hotel brand of Taj Hotels and are planning to stay with them when we go to Dubai."

InterContinental Table Bay Cape Town by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean. Our first room was facing a construction site and was noisy. Upon request, they moved us to a different room. It took them the whole day to get the room ready. The breakfast staff was numerous but slow. There were nice juices, but you need to ask for them. Coffee/tea service was very slow. The breakfast overall was amazing."

Road Lodge Cape Town International Airport

8/10 Good

"Convenient location. Clean room. The staff was friendly and efficient. Reasonably priced. Only problem was no shuttle service! I have to pay $450 ( both ways) to the transportation company for the mere 7 mins ride. It’s not really safe walking down there at night."

Frequently asked questions

What other neighbourhoods are similar to Big Bay?

While Big Bay offers a unique coastal experience, there are a few other neighbourhoods along the Western Cape coastline that offer similar qualities for travellers seeking quality and convenience.

For those who appreciate Big Bay's relaxed beachfront lifestyle and water sports opportunities, Bloubergstrand is an excellent alternative. Located just south of Big Bay, it shares the same stunning views of Table Mountain across the bay and is renowned for its consistent winds, making it a hotspot for kitesurfing and windsurfing. The main beachfront road, Otto du Plessis Drive, is lined with restaurants and cafes, offering a similar dining experience with ocean vistas. This area is particularly well-suited for active couples or solo travellers who enjoy outdoor pursuits and scenic beauty.

Further along the coast, towards the city centre, the Atlantic Seaboard suburbs like Camps Bay and Clifton offer a more luxurious, yet still beach-focused, experience. Camps Bay, in particular, boasts a wide sandy beach and a bustling strip of high-end restaurants and cocktail bars along Victoria Road, rivalling the upscale dining options found in Big Bay. While generally more expensive, the properties here often feature private pools and direct beach access, providing a similar level of comfort and exclusivity.

Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival.
