Hastings Hall

The Resort & Its Setting

Hastings Hall sits at 12 Hastings St in Tamboerskloof, a leafy, Victorian-and-Edwardian-terraced suburb that climbs the lower slopes between the City Bowl and Table Mountain. Tamboerskloof is known for being quiet at night yet within easy reach of the city's main draws, which is part of the appeal for owners who use their week themselves as much as for those who rent it out.

The Area & What There Is to Do

Cape Town rewards owners who actually use their week. Table Mountain (around 5km away) is the obvious anchor — go early and book the cableway in advance, as daily capacity is limited and queues build fast. The V&A Waterfront (roughly 3km) covers shopping, harbour-side dining and boat trips to Robben Island, the former political prison now operated as a heritage museum. Closer still, the City Bowl itself (about 2km) is full of independent cafés, galleries and restaurants worth wandering through on foot. Further afield, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden (around 8km) is a must for its summer sunset concerts, while Constantia Wine Valley (about 30km) and Cape Point Nature Reserve (around 45km) make for a full day out with a hired car or pre-booked transfer. Winter (June–August) brings whale-watching along the coast; summer (December–February) is beach and outdoor-dining season; spring and autumn tend to offer the mildest weather and thinner crowds at the big attractions.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Hastings Hall and are considering your options, BidMyTimeshare.com works as a straightforward owner-to-owner marketplace: you list your week yourself, set your own asking price, and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's a one-time listing fee to get your ad live, and 0% commission on whatever sale or rental you agree — unlike agent-led resale routes, we don't take a cut of the final price.

As Hastings Hall is an independent resort, resale transfers are typically handled through the resort's own owners' association or on-site management rather than a branded head office. Before you commit to a price, both buyer and seller should confirm directly with the resort: the current transfer or resale administration fee, whether the resort (or other owners) holds a right of first refusal on any resale, how long the transfer process usually takes, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are published facts we can quote here, so get it confirmed in writing by Hastings Hall before completing a deal — it protects both sides and avoids surprises after the sale.

A resale buyer should also clarify in advance exactly what transfers with the week — the deeded or right-to-use interest itself, certainly, but confirm separately whether any loyalty perks, banked points, or prior owner benefits carry over, since these commonly do not transfer automatically at independent resorts.

Practical Notes for Owners and Renters

Renters typically ask about location (Tamboerskloof's walkability is a genuine selling point), proximity to Table Mountain and the Waterfront, and whether a week falls in peak summer, whale-watching winter, or the quieter shoulder months. Owners listing a rental should be upfront about which calendar week or season their ownership covers, since that's usually the first question a renter asks. For getting around once on site, Cape Town's MyCiTi bus network covers many central routes, though a hired car or pre-arranged transport is worth organising for Cape Point and the Constantia Wine Valley.
