you need a car. public transport in cape town is suboptimal at best. (you're lucky i know how busy you are, lady, or else i would say "don't you read my complaints?")
the castle is in the city centre. unless you stay at a CEO hotel, you will need a car for it, and even then you still might.
yeah, without elaborating, you need a car for everything. the lack of adequate mass transit is one of the reasons i was suprised that south africa was awarded the world cup. i will recommend drive africa www.driveafrica.co.za which means you get europcar for half the europcar price. they usually make you get a 4-day minimum, but tell them that one of their semi-regular customers recommended them, and they might be inclined to waive it.
a good place to stay? hm. what's your budget? depending on the hotel that is either right before high season (a lot of places have high season starting on the 15th) or just after the start of high season (almost all the others have high season starting on the first). because the dollar is tanking, even the crappy hotels will be around $100/nite. but your trip will either be during or after the ANC party conference, and if jacob zuma becomes president of the anc, the rand will go through the floor. cross your fingers.
