Cactus House

Cactus House, on Darling Street in Cape Town's City Centre, is a gay-only guesthouse. It’s been welcoming LGBTQ+ travelers to South Africa’s Mother City for a long time.

The longest-running spot of its kind around here, it’s become a trusted home base for anyone looking for an explicitly gay-friendly place in Cape Town.

Staying at a gay guesthouse means you don't have to worry about feeling comfortable or safe. The City Centre location also means you can walk to many of Cape Town's main sights, restaurants, and places to go out. Cape Town has become a popular LGBTQ+ destination, with everything from great waterfront areas and mountain hikes to a buzzing nightlife and museums.

If you're in Cape Town for the scenery, the culture, or the social life, a gay-owned and operated place in the city center gives you both convenience and a sense of community. For more details on rooms, what’s included, and current prices, check their website at cactushouse.co.za.
