Working remotely from Cape Town

The work area at Steenberg’s Cape Colonial Suite  

Working remotely and staying in touch with friends and family from Cape Town improved in the last couple of years. It used to be some high end hotels offered internet access, but it was low speed and from shared computers in a common business center area. The slow speed and set up were so frustrating we used the hotel access only for the most urgent issues.

Recently, we discovered two luxury properties with excellent connectivity and ideal conditions to work remotely. One in the central area of the city is the Cape Cadogan Owner’s Villa, a one-bedroom two story villa with the privacy, space and convenience of a villa and some of the amenities of a hotel. It offered excellent wired high speed internet access downstairs. The Cape Colonial Suite, one of the Steenberg Hotel’s recently opened Heritage Suites, is excellent for executives who need to work remotely from Cape Town. More a townhouse or villa than standard hotel suite, it had all the services and facilities of a small hotel and additional suite amenities.

The Cape Colonial Suite, a two story one bedroom suite, has a separate section for working executives on the first floor. It comes with complimentary Wi-Fi and internet service, personal fax and copying facilities, PC data and power outlets, extra large safe for laptops, audio entertainment system, iPod station, and large work desk. The Steenberg property, surrounded by vineyards and a golf course, is in the outskirts of town, a 15 minute drive from central Cape Town.
