Hotels near Table Mountain
Tafelberg Road, Table Mountain (Nature Reserve), Cape Town, 8001, South Africa
Table Mountain is the 1086-metre flat-topped sandstone mountain that defines Cape Town's skyline - one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature (2011) and a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its endemic fynbos plant ecosystem. The mountain's distinctive table-shape (caused by horizontal sandstone strata sitting on a granite base) makes it one of the most recognisable peaks on earth. The summit hosts a working cable car station, 3 restaurants, and well-marked walking paths.
The Aerial Cableway opened in 1929 and was renovated in 1997 with rotating cabins giving 360-degree views during the 5-minute ride up. Adult return ticket 400 ZAR. Hiking up Platteklip Gorge takes 2-3 hours (steep, no shade, do not solo); the cable car is the easier option. Open daily 08:00-19:00 weather permitting. The summit is often cloud-covered (locally called the tablecloth); morning is your best window.
Pro Tip: Book your Table Mountain visit for the first clear morning of your trip - weather is unpredictable and the tablecloth cloud can shut the cableway for days. Buy tickets online to skip the 1-hour queue; arrive 08:00 opening for the best photos and shortest wait.
