Our furry guests leading the way to Slate Café – one of our favourite dog-friendly spots near Bohemian Guesthouse, Cape Town.

🌿 Take a Scenic Dog Walk at Intaka Island

One of the top recommendations we give our guests is to visit Intaka Island, just a short walk from Bohemian Guesthouse. This beautiful urban nature reserve and bird sanctuary in Century City offers well-kept boardwalks and peaceful walking trails where you can enjoy a tranquil stroll with your dog on leash. It’s a gentle way to start the day — and a hidden gem most people don’t know about!

Slate Café sits peacefully beside the canal in Century City – perfect for a sunny coffee stop after a dog walk.

🌳 Explore Ratanga Park – A Dog-Friendly Urban Oasis

A short walk away, Ratanga Park is another local favourite that’s perfect for dogs. This former amusement park has been transformed into a stunning, spacious green park with wide open lawns, shady paths, and calming water features. It’s a relaxed spot where locals come to jog, walk their dogs, or simply unwind. It’s also ideal if your pup loves a bit more space to sniff and roam.

Dogs get spoiled too! Slate Café offers free puppucinoes with every coffee – just a 5-minute walk from Bohemian Guesthouse.

☕ Grab a Coffee at Slate, a Dog-Friendly Café by the Canal

After a good walk, treat yourself (and your pup!) to a coffee at Slate Café, one of the best dog-friendly cafés in Century City. Nestled alongside the canal where you’ll often spot kayakers and water bikers, Slate is open:

• Monday–Friday: Lunch & Dinner

• Saturday–Sunday: Breakfast to Dinner

They serve free puppuccinos with every coffee order — yes, really! It’s one of the reasons we stop by so often. The vibe is calm and friendly, the staff are lovely, and the outdoor terrace is a sunny haven for both humans and dogs. On a nice day, nothing beats basking in the sun with a freshly baked croissant while your dog slurps up their puppuccino beside you.
