Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel, Cape Town

Camping is big in South Africa. Many childhood holidays are spent in sites across the nation. But if you don’t fancy waking up to a hippo outside your tent or tripping over guy ropes on your way to the loo, then how about a night in a vintage American Airstream? On a rooftop. In the middle of Cape Town.

You can do just that at the Grand Daddy, a beautiful four-storey Victorian hotel right in the middle of vibrant Long Street in the heart of the city.

The sunny rooftop plays host to seven luxury trailers which have all just had an individual makeover from some of the country’s top designers, depicting the wildlife, winelands, beaches, deserts and gold that define a road trip through this diverse land.

Glamping was never this glam, dahling. You can pop in for a drink at the rooftop Skybar if you’re not staying at the hotel.
