Top Getaways To Work From in Western Cape

Now that the holiday restrictions have been lifted in level-3 of our lockdown, and we can travel again, many people are looking for a place away from home, but where they can also work.

Finding a great getaway where you enjoy nature and new surroundings, bring your dog with of course and still stay on top of work – especially for those that can work from home – is the ultimate way to replenish your mind and body.

All our getaways are of course fully enclosed – hence pet-safe, and not just pet-friendly – so you can be assured that you will still be able to get things done, and your furkid can also enjoy getting out in a new environment, safely.

These are our top pet-safe getaways with WiFi in the Western Cape, so you can still work from “home”:
