About National Council of Provinces

The National Council of Provinces sits in the City Bowl, the amphitheatre of flats and Victorian shopfronts wedged between Table Mountain, Devil's Peak, Signal Hill and the harbour. It is the upper house of South Africa's Parliament, and its business draws visitors to the parliamentary precinct on Wale Street, an easy walk from the Bo-Kaap Museum and the painted facades of Chiappini and Rose Street. Beyond politics, the City Bowl is the one part of Cape Town where you can genuinely live without a car for a week: the cableway, the museums, three markets and about two hundred restaurants sit within a thirty-minute walk of each other, and the mountain is always there to tell you which way is south. The trailhead for Signal Hill is at the Signal Hill Road turn-off on Kloof Nek, roughly 45 minutes to the top spiralling anticlockwise.

Tips for staying near National Council of Provinces

  • Parliamentary business sets the rhythm here, so check the sitting calendar before you pick dates; on busy weeks the closest City Bowl addresses fill first and booking early is the difference between walking 2 minutes and commuting in.
  • Summer heat makes the topography matter more than the map suggests. Vredehoek and upper Oranjezicht look ten minutes from town but are a punishing uphill, so choose a flat City Bowl address if you plan to walk to the landmark daily.
  • If you want the mountain quiet, go at dawn rather than on full-moon nights, when hundreds of people with head torches take the Signal Hill trail. Never leave anything in the car at the trailhead.
  • After dark, keep your phone away on Long Street and avoid walking the Foreshore or the top end of Buitenkant alone. Car-guard interactions are normal everywhere in the City Bowl.
  • Ask before photographing doorways in Bo-Kaap: it is a lived-in Cape Malay neighbourhood, not a photo set. Buy koesisters or a samosa at Rose Corner Cafe on the corner of Rose and Longmarket.
