About Us

Cape-Town-Hotels.Travel isn't just a run of the mill online booking portal. Instead, it's focused on supporting the ‘little guys', something that many online portals forget to do. Bed and Breakfasts, Guest Houses and Backpackers make up a huge chunk of the industry, yet they really struggle to market themselves, and that's where we step in. You know, this is the only site where you can actually book township properties!

We also manage the site for the beautiful Cape Winelands. Just one hour from CBD of Cape Town, visit local vineyards in Franschhoek, Wellington, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Montagu (just a bit further). Book with us and we can arrange overnight stays in both Cape Town and Cape Winelands hotels.

The team is led by Jodi and Zack. Originally from the USA, we made a fateful trip to Cape Town a few years back and our lives were changed forever. One thing about Cape Town, is that it knows how to impress.... by the time we were scheduled to fly home - the decision to move to the Mother City had already been made.

This giant leap of faith went hand in hand with the launch of their whl.travel sites. Having recruited staff to help develop and manage the site, not only do they now have a view of Table Mountain out of their office window but they also provide a helping hand to small tourism businesses, by giving them a platform to help them get their message out to the big wide world.

Then Jennifer joined the Cape-Town-Hotels.Travel crew. Jennifer was born and raised in Cape Town and knows her way around like a true local. Active and sporty, Jennifer has run in several Two Oceans Half Marathons and participates in the Cape Argus every year without fail!

The whole Cape-Town-Hotels.Travel team is an outgoing and adventurous one! Zack and Jodi are our resident rock climbers. With a distinct inability to deal with heights, Jen focuses her attention on the lower altitude sports of surfing, cycling and trail running. But don't be fooled, we have a cultural side too! There isn't a theatre or festival in the Cape that we haven't been to. If you are in need of recommendations, just ask.

So, as recent tourists to Cape Town themselves, we know exactly what tourists are looking for, and along with Jen, we know exactly how to get it for you. When you think about it, we really are the perfect team!

Something to keep in mind if you come to visit South Africa and particularly Cape Town, despite being one of the most beautiful destinations in the world, the Western Cape faces a slew of issues that affect the quality of life of its local population. Problems range from the devastation caused by HIV/AIDS and poverty, to the problematic water and electrical shortages that plague the Cape.

Whl.travel has pledged its support to sustainable tourism, so to make sure that we do our bit, the Cape Town office is starting small and tackling our own office. Our first step was to limit waste within our own office, after all we can't expect others to help us if we don't try and lead the way. We don't print things unless we really need to, we always switch appliances and lights off when we are not using them and we limit unnecessary commuting whenever possible. We have recently developed a partnership with Oasis Association. They are an organisation that collects all of your recyclable waste free and charge. All proceeds from the recycled goods help to support men and women who suffer from an intellectual disability. For more information on Oasis Recyling visit their website.
