Family friendly hotels

Looking for a place to take a break with your family? Protea Hotels offers you the best of both worlds, adult comfort with plenty of entertainment for the little ones plus all of the facilities that you need as a parent.

Cape Town is an ideal family destination with plenty of activities to keep both young and old entertained. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a great place to enter into the unique spirit of Cape Town. Parents can relax at an outdoor coffee shop or restaurant and watch life go by while kids are entertained by wandering mime artists and regular performances in the amphitheatre. It is home to the fabulous Two Oceans Aquarium that has over 3 000 living sea animals, a kelp forest and predator feeding tank, a sure hit with both adults and children!

The Waterfront is also the departure point for ferry trips to Robben Island, the infamous island prison that once housed Nelson Mandela. The 3-Star Protea Hotel Cape Castle is situated just minutes away from the Waterfront with fabulous views of both the Waterfront and ocean. The luxury suites all have sleeper couches for extra GUESTS or children.

If you are looking to be in the heart of the city, the 4-Star Protea Hotel North Wharf is conveniently situated in one of Cape Town's most popular day and night time destinations, your family will not have to go far from the Hotel to experience the pulse of this unique city. Best known for its eclectic collection of shops, markets and pubs, Loop, Bree and Long Street really come alive at night.

The Protea Hotel President is also a great family accommodation option. This 4-Star Hotel is situated in Sea Point, Cape Town, close to the great Clifton and Camps Bay beaches. Being close enough to the CBD enables one to easily explore the city while the Hotel is also only minutes away from the Sea Point promenade, a putt-putt course and a park.

Situated on one of the Western Cape's most beautiful beaches is the Protea Hotel Dolphin Beach in Tableview, just north of Cape Town. Step out onto an endless stretch of white beach and relax completely at this 4-Star establishment. There are numerous beach activities to partake in from volleyball to board and wind surfing, paddle skiing and horse riding facilities nearby to the Hotel.

Both the 4-Star Protea Hotel Island Club and Protea Hotel Colosseum are situated close to Cape Town's fastest growing residential, business and shopping district, Century City. It is also home to Canal Walk, the biggest shopping mall in the Southern hemisphere!

Entertainment options for both young and old abound here from Grand West Casino for the adults (even if you are not gamblers!) to Ratanga Junction for the kids. This theme park offers more than 30 exhilarating rides and attractions ranging from mild to wild options. The MTN Science Centre is also situated at Century City. Guaranteed to be great fun for the whole family, this is South Africa's first interactive Science Centre. Boogaloos in Canal Walk offers a skate experience like no other with great ramps and atmosphere. Canal Walk also has several cinemas for rainy days and during school holidays look out for their scheduled children's activities.
