Alternative accommodation
If you were not able to register on time to get a room at the conference venue or are looking into bringing family members or staying any amount of extra days once the conference is finished, this is a list of good alternative accommodation. They are all within walking distance to the conference venue and service-friendly. However, the General Conference takes place during the high season of Cape Town tourism, so booking your accommodation as early as possible is recommended to make sure you get the type of room and rate you are looking for.
