Protea Hotel Colosseum

The Resort and Its Setting

Protea Hotel Colosseum operates as a timeshare and vacation club property under the Protea Hotels banner, one of Africa's longer-established hotel brands. It sits within Century City, a purpose-built mixed-use development on the northern edge of Cape Town, known for its grid of office parks, canals, and retail space rather than a beachfront or resort strip. For owners and renters, that means a stay here is geared towards convenience and city access rather than an isolated holiday-resort setting — useful to know when pricing a week or describing it to a prospective renter.

Century City and the Cape Town Area

Century City was developed as a self-contained urban hub, and the Century City Shopping Centre is right on the doorstep, covering everyday shopping, restaurants and cinemas. From there, Cape Town's headline attractions are a short drive away: Table Mountain, the V&A Waterfront, and the historic city centre are all reachable within about half an hour, which is a strong selling point for anyone renting out a week to travellers who want a base with easy road access rather than a long transfer every time they want to see the city. Cape Town International Airport is roughly 20km away, so airport transfers are straightforward to arrange.

Selling or Renting a Week Here

If you own a week at Protea Hotel Colosseum and want to sell or rent it out, BidMyTimeshare.com works as an owner-to-owner marketplace: you list the week yourself, set the asking price (or rental rate), and buyers or renters contact you directly through the platform. There's no commission on the sale — sellers simply pay a small, one-time listing fee to get the week in front of genuine buyers.

Because this is a resale rather than a resort-sold week, it's worth confirming a few things with the resort's owners' association or management before agreeing a price: the transfer fee charged to move the week into a new owner's name, whether the resort holds a right of first refusal on a sale, and the current annual maintenance fee. None of these figures are standardised across resorts, so always get them confirmed directly rather than relying on general estimates. A buyer taking over a resale week should also ask exactly what transfers with it — for instance, whether RCI exchange affiliation carries over automatically or needs to be re-registered in their name, and whether any points or banked weeks are included or lost in the transfer.

What Renters Typically Look For

Renters interested in a week at Protea Hotel Colosseum are usually after a comfortable, well-managed base with city convenience — easy reach of Century City's shops and restaurants, a manageable drive into central Cape Town, and reasonable proximity to the airport. If you're renting your week out, spelling out these practical points, rather than using generic resort language, tends to address the questions renters actually have.

Practical Notes for Owners and Buyers

Because the property is RCI-affiliated, owners exchanging through RCI should book exchange stays well ahead through their RCI account, as availability in the Cape Town area can be limited during peak travel months. South Africa's summer (November to March) brings warm weather suited to sightseeing and outdoor activities, while winter (June to August) is milder and quieter — each can suit different renters depending on what they're after. Buyers should always confirm directly with the resort or its management what is and isn't included before finalising a resale purchase.
