Daddy Long Legs, Cape Town

Packed with uniqueness in every corner, each room has been designed with passion and is a work of art. The very soul of a poet, photographer, designer or musician manifests itself with full potential in each room as they were given complete freedom in designing the space. The hotel offers an unforgettable experience to the visitors. Décor is artistic and abstract theme has been used mostly. To push your curiosity to the next level, they have rooms named as The Emergency Room, The Photo Booth, Please Do Not Disturb and Far From Home.

Breakwater Lodge, Cape Town

For those who are fed up with conventional accommodation options and wish to try something totally unique, it cannot get better than Breakwater Lodge. The most unique thing about this property is that it has been a prison once. Now it has been completely transformed to offer offbeat accommodation to the Cape Town visitors. Tourists will be sleeping in the same place where once prisoners have been kept. Breakwater Lodge might have a dark history but the facilities now provided to the customers are great. Shops, restaurants, bars, and other entertainment options – everything is just a stone’s throw away.

Tsala Treetop Lodge, Plettenberg Bay
