When the bustle of academic life comes to a halt in Cape Town's glorious summer, UCT's residences are transformed into comfortable but affordable holiday and conference accommodation. Situated on the lower slopes of Devil's Peak, the University overlooks the sweep of the Cape Flats to the far-off Helderberg mountain range. Several of the University's residences are on the campus itself but, as UCT has grown, many other residences have been acquired in the nearby suburbs of Rondebosch, Rosebank and Mowbray.
Accommodation varies from self-contained flats to single or double rooms.
But all offer you the facilities to ensure an enjoyable, carefree holiday. Whichever you choose, your holiday home is furnished, serviced once a week, supplied with basic bedding - and free parking is plentiful. Each is comfortably furnished with a single bed per person, wardrobe facilities, coffee tables and easy chairs. While at times the weather can be a little daunting, the Peninsula also enjoys many crisp, clear sunny days. This is the perfect time to take advantage of the cooler weather and fewer tourists.
