Six Selbourne: Cape Town's Hidden Gem? You WON'T Believe This!
Six Selbourne: Cape Town's Hidden Gem? Hold On – You Won't Believe This Mess! (A Review That's Totally Real)
Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because I'm about to spill the tea on Six Selbourne in Cape Town. Forget those pristine, perfectly polished reviews. This is the real deal. I'm talking nitty-gritty, warts-and-all, did-I-leave-my-toothbrush-at-home-again kinda honesty. You want a hotel review that feels real? You got it.
First of all, let's be honest, finding a genuinely "hidden gem" in Cape Town sometimes feels as likely as spotting a unicorn wearing a speedo. But Six Selbourne? It actually might be in the running. Or, at least, it's got the potential.
Accessibility (or, the Dreaded "Getting Around" Section):
Okay, so this is where things get a little…hmmm. Let's start basic.
- Accessibility: The hotel details that I have are a bit limited in this area, so I can't provide a full assessment.
- Getting Around: Okay, good news and bad news. Free parking? YES! Car park on-site? DOUBLE YES! Valet parking? Score! Taxi service readily available? Yep. Airport transfer? They've got that too. Great.
- Bicycle Parking: Not sure about bike storage..
Rooms: A Deep Dive (Because That's Where You'll Live):
Right, so let's dive into the heart of the matter: the rooms. Now, the details I know say there's air conditioning, which is practically a MUST in Cape Town – you'll fry without it. They've also got those essentials: a safe box (always a good idea), a mini-bar, a coffee/tea maker (essential for any caffeine addicts), and… wait for it… blackout curtains. YES! Finally, some sleep!
- Available in All Rooms: Air conditioning? Check. Alarm clock? Check. Bathrobes? Ooh, fancy! Bathtub? Possibly – depends on the room type. Blackout curtains? Praise the sun gods! A proper desk for working? Excellent.
- Bathroom Bliss (or, the Lack Thereof): I like that there is a bathroom phone.
- Tech & Convenience (aka, "Can I Actually Work from Here?"): They boast free Wi-Fi (more on that later), plus Internet access via LAN in some rooms.
- Amenities (the Good, the Bad, and the Possibly Weird): Refrigerator, mirror, safety/security features.
- The "Extras" (Because Little Things Matter): Slippers? Yes, please! Wake-up service? Sure, but I usually just set about a million alarms. Complimentary tea? Excellent.
Internet – The Modern-Day Oxygen (and, OMG, the Wi-Fi):
Okay, here's where things get…interesting. They claim to have free Wi-Fi in all rooms. This is a HUGE selling point. But, and it's a big but, the details don't go into detail. The question is… is it actually good Wi-Fi? Or does it cut out every five minutes and make you want to throw your laptop out the window? I need to know!
- Internet: Internet [LAN], Internet services.
- Wi-Fi in Public Areas: Hopefully, this is solid.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: Survival of the Fittest (aka, "Where's the Food?!"):
Food is life people, and Cape Town is a delicious city. So, what's the deal at 6 Selbourne?
- Restaurants Galore (Or, The Promise Thereof): A la carte, Restaurant, Western and Asian!
- **Quick Bites and Liquid Courage: Bar, Coffee shop, Poolside bar, and Snack bar.
- Breakfasts?: Buffet. The details suggest an Asian breakfast, and a Western breakfast. Is that breakfast IN your room? Good stuff!
- Oh, and Special Diets?: Vegetarian restaurant.
Things To Do & Ways To Relax: The "Ahhh" Factor (or, "Can I Actually Unwind?"):
This is where Six Selbourne could really shine. Cape Town is all about doing great things. Let's see what this place offers….
- Spa & Wellness: The big guns are here: Massage, Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, and the all-important Swimming pool.
- Fitness Fanatics: They have a Fitness center.
- Pool with View: Now we are talking!
- The Views: The pool with view is a HUGE plus, in my book.
Cleanliness & Safety: Because, Let's Be Real, Hygiene Matters:
Look, we've all become germaphobes in the past several years. So, what about Six Selbourne?
- Basic Essentials: Daily disinfection, anti-viral cleaning products, individually-wrapped food options, hand sanitizer.
- Protocols: Staff trained in safety protocol.
Services & Conveniences: The "Wow" Factor (or, The "Did They Think of Everything?"):
This is where a hotel can really separate itself from the pack. Let's see what Six Selbourne offers…
- Helpful Stuff & Extra Perks: Air conditioning in public area, Concierge, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Ironing service, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Terrace.
- Business Needs: Business facilities, Meeting/banquet facilities.
For the Kids: (aka, "Is This Place Kid-Friendly?"):
- The "Tiny Humans" Verdict: Family/child friendly.
Overall Vibe:
Okay, I'm getting a sense of Six Selbourne forming. It sounds like it's got a lot going for it. Now, I need to see it in person, so I can tell if the Wi-Fi is faster than a snail on sleeping pills, and if those "pool with views" are actually insta-worthy.
Now for the sales pitch, but with a healthy dose of "realness":
Six Selbourne: Escape the Ordinary. Embrace the (Slightly Messy, But Totally Worth It) Extraordinary.
Listen, are you tired of cookie-cutter hotels? The kind that feel like they were designed by robots? Then, Six Selbourne might just be your jam. It’s a place where you can actually relax, not just pretend. The spa looks heavenly, and the pool view is just begging to be Instagrammed.
But let's be real. No place is perfect. Maybe the Wi-Fi will be a little spotty (let's hope not!), maybe the breakfast buffet won't have your exact favourite cereal. But that's life, right? The imperfections are part of the charm.
Here's what you get:
- Breathtaking pool
- A Spa that's actually worth visiting.
- Those beautiful Blackout curtains.
- Safe Dining

Six Selbourne, Cape Town: A Slightly Unhinged Adventure (with some actual planning, maybe)
(Because let’s face it, I need structure to function, even if I rebel against it later…)
Day 1: Arrival, Jet Lag, and the Existential Dread of Empty Fridges
- Morning (Officially, around 9 am, Realistically, more like 11 am): Touchdown! Cape Town International Airport. The air smells different here, a mix of… sea salt and potential. The baggage claim, a chaotic ballet of tired travelers and oversized luggage. I was so hyped. I’m talking, full-on, “I’m-gonna-eat-all-the-biltong-and-hike-Table-Mountain!” hyped. Until I saw my suitcase circling the carousel, looking forlorn and lonely. It eventually showed up, after a solid 20 minutes of anxiety-fueled staring. Airport transfers, a blur of traffic and slightly panicky thoughts about whether I remembered to pack deodorant.
- Afternoon (1 pm - ish): Check-in at Six Selbourne. The actual building is gorgeous, like a chic, modern take on a Victorian dream. I was expecting more of a boutique place, and the place feels a bit impersonal. I could find no personal touch. I am sure I'm going to get used to the space. The room? Lovely. Spacious. The… fridge… empty. This triggered a minor emotional crisis. The fridge is the gateway to survival, the promise of cold drinks and late-night snacks. Empty fridges are a symbol of a life unfulfilled, a void where deliciousness should reside. I’m obviously overreacting.
- Late Afternoon (3 pm - 5 pm): Grocery shopping. The local Pick n Pay is a vibrant assault on the senses. Bright lights, fragrant spices, and a cacophony of Afrikaans. I, of course, got lost. I spent half an hour wandering around, asking panicked questions about hummus and realizing I had forgotten my glasses. Finally located the food-stuffs, and went back to the room feeling like I’d survived a combat mission. Purchased way too much fruit, because I’m trying to be healthy on this trip, dammit. Also bought EVERYTHING that looked remotely appealing.
- Evening (6 pm - whenever I pass out): Settling in, unpacking the fruit, and staring longingly at the mini-bar (still empty). A pizza delivery is ordered. It was a good pizza. I might have eaten the entire thing. Jet lag really hits around 7 pm. Bedtime by 9? Don't hold your breath.
Day 2: Boulders Beach Penguins & Coastal Chaos
- Morning (Slightly earlier - motivated by penguins!): Up at a reasonable hour. Coffee. A quick breakfast of cereal and fruit and then straight into the car and off! Today the focus, Boulders Beach and those ridiculously cute penguins.
- Late Morning & Early Afternoon (9 am - 1 pm): Boulders Beach. OMG. The penguins! They are just… everywhere. Waddling, honking, generally owning the place. I spent a solid hour just watching them. I took approximately 700 photos. I may have squealed a little. It was seriously magical. Also, the stench of penguin guano is… memorable. Let's just say it's an acquired aroma. The beach itself is stunning, giant granite boulders scattered along the sand. The water is shockingly cold. I dipped my toes in. That was enough.
- Afternoon (2 pm - 4 pm): Coastal drive along the scenic route. We stopped at a little cafe in Simon's Town, right on the water. Fish and chips. Okay, I admit, I had a fish and chips for lunch. The wind was howling, the waves were crashing, and I felt utterly alive. It was pure, unadulterated joy. The drive was epic, the views were breathtaking.
- Late Afternoon & Evening (5 pm onwards): Back to Six Selbourne. I'm exhausted, my hair is a mess, and I have sand in places I didn't know sand could get. The emotional reaction now to the room? Comfort. It’s starting to feel like home, and the fridge now stocked with drinks, snacks, and the fruits of my labor.
Day 3: The Table Mountain Debacle (and a Lesson in Humility)
- Morning (early… again): Table Mountain! Today's the day! Hiked up on the mountain at early hours.
- Morning (9 am - 12:00 pm): The cable car. I will just say the line was long. It was packed. The view from the top? Mind-blowing. Cape Town spread out beneath me, a patchwork of colors, the ocean a shimmering azure. We are on the hike trail, just not in the best state. It became a battle of the wills. The path was rugged, the air thin. I started to doubt my life choices. Then, disaster struck. I tripped. Flat on my face. The mountain, in all its majestic glory, had humbled me. Scraped knees, pride wounded. I was defeated.
- Afternoon (1 pm - 3 pm): Sat in a coffee shop. Ate something sweet. A double shot of espresso. So, I thought I'd hike down instead of using the cable car. More disaster followed.
- Late Afternoon (4 pm onwards): Back to the room. A long, hot shower. Netflix. Regret. Also, pizza. The comfort food is a lifesaver.
Day 4: Wine Tasting & Unexpected Revelations.
- Morning (10 am): The Stellenbosch wine farms. I was so overwhelmed at the beauty. The vineyards, the rolling hills, the beautiful houses. It’s idyllic, even if I was a bit hungover.
- Afternoon (12 pm - 4 pm): Wine Tasting. I went slightly overboard. The first farm, I sipped and savored. By the third, I was giggling and asking if they had any "grape juice for adults" (they didn't). One of the farms, I stumbled upon a hidden art gallery. I didn't even know I liked art. The art was beautiful. It felt like a revelation. The wine, the views, the art. It was a perfect moment.
- Late Afternoon & Evening (5 pm onwards): Back at Six Selbourne, my head a swirling kaleidoscope of colors and flavors. Dinner at a local restaurant. I can barely remember the names of the dishes. I think I made a friend.
Day 5: Exploring the City and Getting LOST
- Morning (10 am): Exploring the city! The Company's Garden, a little oasis of calm smack in the middle of the bustling city. I took a moment to breathe. I thought I was going somewhere.
- Afternoon (12 pm - 3 pm): I was lost. Wandered down cobblestone streets, marveling at the colorful buildings. I stopped at a bookstore, got lost in the stacks, and ended up buying a bunch of random books I'll probably never read. Then, I was lost again. I was so tired and frazzled and it was so hot. I had a moment of panic. I had to laugh. I had to ask for direction.
- Late Afternoon & Evening (4 pm onwards): Back at Six Selbourne, totally and utterly exhausted. The room feels like a safe haven.
Day 6: Departure and the bittersweet goodbyes
- Morning (8 am): Pack. I'm so sad to go. I want to stay. Breakfast. Last-minute panic about forgetting things.
- Afternoon (1 pm): Back to the airport. I was happy. Sad. Mostly happy, though.
Overall:
Six Selbourne, Cape Town, was… an experience. It wasn’t perfect, far from it. There were hiccups and mishaps and moments of sheer, unadulterated panic. But there were also moments of pure, unadulterated joy. The penguins, the wine, the beauty of the mountain. The city. Even the empty fridge, in its own way, was a part of the story.
And that, my friends, is the truth of it. It’s messy. It's imperfect. It’s life. And I wouldn't have it any other way. Now, where’s the biltong – I need to stock up before I leave…!
Budapest's MEGA Apartment: 5BR, Sleeps 19! Hungaria Center
So, what *is* this whole... thing... anyway? Like, the big picture?
Alright, deep breath. Trying to explain something, let's say… *something*… is like trying to herd cats. You think you've got it, and then *poof*! Scattered. But fine, I’ll try. It's about… connection, I guess? And trying to, like, make sense of things. About asking questions that you can't Google, you know? Maybe it’s even just about having a friendly chat about it. Or maybe it's about me ranting while you listen. I kinda…ramble. Sometimes. Don’t judge.
Why are you doing this? What's the point? (Besides, you know, torturing me with this setup of questions)
Oh, good question! See, *some* people would probably say “self-expression” or “creative outlet.” And sure, maybe a little of that. But honestly? Sometimes I just get this *itch*. This need to… *say* something. To see what happens when words get tossed around. And, let's be real, sometimes I just want to talk, and let's admit, it’s a good excuse to NOT do the dishes tonight. Don't tell my partner I said that.
What makes this… different? What's it all *about*?
Okay, listen. Everyone on the web is either selling you something, telling you about their "perfect" life, or trying to sell you something while telling how "perfect" their life is. This? This is probably going to be kinda… imperfect. I'm not promising sunshine and roses. I'm promising me, me, *me*. And sometimes that me is tired and cranky. Sometimes I'm wildly enthusiastic. Sometimes I'm just… confused. Mostly, honestly. I don't know; I’m kind of figuring it out as I go, and hoping you are too!
What are the rules? What Can't you talk about?
Rules? We have rules? Look, I'm a pretty laid-back person. I believe in respect, you know? So like, no blatant hate speech. No inciting violence. Be kind. Seriously, be kind. But I'm also not going to censor myself for political correctness, and I'll call out bad ideas when I see them.
How often will you be updating this thing?
Hah! That's a good one. Regularly? Listen, I love creating content, but I also may be spending my nights at the bar. I’m trying to be more consistent, but life... happens. Some weeks, you'll be hearing from me every day. Other weeks, I'll disappear into the ether. It all depends on the muse, my energy levels, and whether I've got a good batch of coffee brewing. (Coffee is *essential*.) I am working on improvements so I would be honest.
Can I give feedback?
Absolutely!!! Please. Feedback is like... well, it's like fuel for the fire of creativity. Or maybe it's like a slap in the face when I need it. Either way, it helps. Tell me what you like, what you *hate*, what confuses you, what makes you snort with laughter (or roll your eyes). My email is... well it's nothing yet, but I will let you know when I start using one!
What if I have a super specific question? Can I ask it?
Yeah, absolutely! Fire away. I'll do my best to answer. But don't expect miracles, okay? I'm not a walking encyclopedia. I'm just… me. And me knows a little bit about a lot of things, and *nothing* about a lot of other things. It's the human experience, right? I'll warn you; if I'm clueless, I *will* tell you.
Okay, but like… what if I *really* disagree with something you say? Are you cool with that?
Dude. Please. Disagreement is *encouraged*. I want to hear other perspectives. This isn't a dictatorship, folks. (Unless… just kidding! Mostly.) The whole point is to have a conversation, right? So disagree away! Just… maybe be civil about it. And don't go all caps lock on me. Unless it’s REALLY good. Then I’ll allow it.
I'm feeling stuck on something. Can you give me some advice?
I can try! But… I'm not a therapist, okay? I'm a flawed human being. I've made a *ton* of mistakes in my life, and learned a whole lot. I can share some thoughts, but take everything with a grain of salt. I'm also a big believer in, “sometimes you need to make a mess to clean things up.” Sometimes that’s just how life works.. So, if you're looking for a perfectly polished answer? Probably not. But if you're looking for a little perspective, or maybe just someone to say, "Yeah, that sucks," then yeah, I can probably help.
What will I *actually* get out of reading this stuff?
Honestly? I have no idea. Maybe you'll learn something. Maybe you'll get a good laugh. Maybe you'll be completely bored. Or maybe you'll find a kindred spirit, someone who understands the absurdity of it all. Or maybe you would just want to get off the website and live your life. Look, my expectations are low. But I'm hoping it's something more than just a waste of time. But, if you're looking for instant riches, or the secret to eternal happiness? You've come to the wrong place. This is a journey, not a destination, and we're all just stumbling along together.
