Set within Cape Town’s lively V&A Waterfront, the Victoria & Alfred Hotel combines a historic setting with contemporary comfort. The building dates to 1904, when it served as the North Quay Warehouse, and the hotel takes its name from Queen Victoria and her son Prince Alfred, whose work helped shape the harbor area that later became the V&A Waterfront.
Today, the hotel offers 94 well-appointed rooms with views toward the Alfred Basin, Table Mountain, or the waterfront piazza. Its central location places guests within easy reach of restaurants, shops, harbor attractions, and the wider city, while still providing a refined and comfortable base for exploring Cape Town.

Set beneath mature trees along the banks of the Sand River, MalaMala Camp is designed to keep guests closely connected to the surrounding landscape. Pathways wind through the grounds to guest rooms and suites tucked into the greenery, while decks, lawns, and common areas offer frequent opportunities to watch wildlife and birdlife between game drives.
The camp underwent an extensive reimagining and refurbishment in 2017-2018, updating the accommodations and central lodge areas while preserving its traditional safari character. Guest rooms were renovated, interiors refreshed with natural textures and earthy tones, and shared spaces including the dining room, bar, lounge, and riverfront deck were redesigned to create a more contemporary and comfortable experience. The result is a historic safari camp with an updated style that remains firmly rooted in its setting and heritage.
