Delicious smoothies, red cappucinnos, beutiful cosmetics and other products add to this perfect hot spot.
Please note that due to the restaurant industry being as capricious as it is, that we highly recommend giving the above venues a call beforehand. Should they decide to change the terms of usage, you’ll be glad to be informed before you race to any one of the above in a rush only to find that the fount has been turned off.
Cape Town is however studded with an abundance of Wi-Fi hotspots; some of which are free, some of which charge a nominal fee and others that are connected to portals like Skyrove and Cape Connect and similar service providers who specialise in alleviating the unconnected.
