Your stories about Africa and Travel

Welcome to our World...

The Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel and the Daddy Long Legs
Self-Catering Suites on Cape Town’s Long Street.

DADDY LONG LEGS ART HOTEL
Staying in the Daddy Long Legs hotel is like being part of an interactive art exhibition. The thirteen air-conditioned rooms are quite unlike anything else in South Africa. Not only is each room uniquely decorated by an artist, poet, photographer, designer or musician, but, they were afforded complete freedom to interpret the space as they pleased, resulting in a collection of hotel rooms that are an adventurous, humorous (and sometimes ironic) representation of Cape Town’s contemporary cultural landscape.

Daddy Long Legs redefines the travel experience by offering a space that is as much a creative expression as it is a clean, comfortable place to lay your head.
“It’s about funky, affordable accommodation”, says owner Jody Aufrichtig. He adds that Daddy Long Legs is, “a place where you can meet people, have fun whilst you are at it, and – get an awesome night’s rest. Just by staying in your room, Daddy Long Legs gives you the opportunity to absorb the creative spirit of Cape Town so just lie back and enjoy!”

ABOUT DADDY LONG LEGS HOTEL
As an independent traveller’s hotel, Daddy Long Legs will appeal to those seeking an authentic experience of Cape Town and it is ideally situated on Long Street; great for exploring the character and nightlife of the city and its surrounds. We also proud ourselves in having regular art exhibitions and local music performances providing true Cape Town cultural experiences for our guests.

Daddy Long Legs is perfect for the independent traveller who is looking for an experience and it will be also welcome respite for the local businessperson tired of sterile hotel environments.

The communal bar / lounge area is the perfect spot to meet fellow travellers and visiting locals. Relax, order a drink and sit on the balcony to take in the vibrant atmosphere of Cape Town’s creative and eccentric heart.

Breakfast can be ordered at ground level R-Caffe and Daddy Long Legs is in proximity to a plethora of city restaurant choices.

ABOUT DADDY LONG LEGS SELF CATERING APARTMENTS
The Daddy Long Legs concept began with these original Daddy Long Legs Suites. The apartments were the answer for the independent traveller needing a private space with kitchen and living area for a long or short stay.
Daddy Long Legs Suites is a group of stylish, self-catering, fully furnished apartments. Spacious and recently refurbished these funky apartments have retained their old world feel with Oregon wooden floors, exposed brick and ceiling beams and been decorated with a hint of contemporary urban Africa.
Each apartment sleeps 2-4 people and has an open plan kitchen dining area and lounge. The front apartments have French doors, which open up onto Long Street the perfect place to sit on a warm evening and watch the street transform.

At the end of the day, the proof is in the pudding – we are happily busy but never resting on our laurels and we are keen to speak with you.
