Casa Del Sonder is located in the trendy De Waterkant, just a 10-minute walk from the city centre. It has a rooftop terrace with a plunge pool and a 360 degree view of the city and Table Mountain. Decorated in rich and warm colours, the air-conditioned rooms feature a seating area, flat-screen TV and safe. They include tea-and-coffee-making facilities and a smart TV with Netflix. Some rooms offer a view of Table Mountain. Please note, Casa del Sonder is located in a historically Muslim area. We are situated next to the oldest mosque in the country which we take great pride in and enjoy hearing the soulful call to prayer a few times a day. We have a newly opened, beautiful coffee shop located on the premises. Book breakfast with us and enjoy world class coffee and delicious food on our rooftop overlooking the city, or grab a coffee and croissant before venturing out on your daily excursions. Free WiFi is available. The guest house is within 2 kilometres from the CTICC, V & A Waterfront and Sea Point Promenade. The Cape Town International Airport is 22 km away.
