The Tree House Boutique Hotel

The Tree House is one of Green Point’s most polished small stays, wrapping contemporary design around a quiet, leafy courtyard just minutes from the Sea Point promenade, the V&A Waterfront and the city’s best restaurants. If you want to be in the middle of Cape Town’s buzz and still retreat somewhere calm and stylish, it is a lovely choice.

Rooms are elegant and comfortable, the service is warm, and the central location means you can leave the car and walk to the sea, the stadium and Green Point’s cafe scene.

Compared with CUBE, the trade-off is setting: this is city living rather than CUBE’s scenic Atlantic-seaboard calm above Hout Bay, and you won’t find the complimentary guest smartphone or the personal, host-led trip planning that make a CUBE stay feel so effortlessly organised.
