Qamaras

Self-catering in Cape Town means working with what the seasons hand you—winter rain, summer water restrictions, and the reality that many visitors want to cook with local ingredients but don't know where the shops are. Qamaras operates in a city where guests often spend two or three weeks, not two nights, which changes everything about how an apartment functions. Kitchen equipment needs to be reliable; hot water during winter mountain rain isn't optional; and backup power matters when load shedding bites. The layout, the appliances, the information about local suppliers—these are what separate a frustrating stay from one where guests actually enjoy preparing their own meals and living like locals.
