The parts of town that are an easy taxi ride to the Victoria & Albert Waterfront (where many hotels are located and from whence transport to the UWC will be leaving) are: Green Point, Sea Point, Tamboerskloof, Oranjezicht and Gardens.
 
For those who consider renting or hiring a car and drive to the UWC campus, some of the nice places to stay that are a bit further away are: Constantia, Rondebosch, Newlands, Bishops Court, Claremont, Tokai (all part of the Southern Suburbs), Hout Bay and Camps Bay (Atlantic seaboard).

A couple of sites with good maps of the area:
