Cape Town is a gateway to the historic winelands where innovative chefs create delicious cuisine accompanied by fine wines in beautiful settings. Head south to the spectacular peninsula where two oceans meet, north to a land of safaris and spectacular flowers and east along the scenic Garden Route.

We know the best places to stay, from lively waterfront hotels to personally hosted boutique properties. You can tee off on a Championship Golf Course, ascend Table Mountain, go whale watching and even caged diving among fearsome great white sharks.

You really are spoilt for choice of places to stay in Cape Town. Some will only consider the elegant pink frontage, 'Laura Ashley' décor and manicured gardens of the Mount Nelson sitting proudly beneath Table Mountain. Others would rather be among the shops, restaurants and entertainment of the Waterfront where the five-star Cape Grace has long been our favourite. Another option is to head for the beach where The Bay sits right on chic Camps Bay beneath the peaks of the Twelve Apostles.

Cape Town is a place to be explored and enjoyed. Look up and you can’t resist taking the cable car to discover the view from the top of Table Mountain. Look out to sea and you’ll be drawn to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was held prisoner. Or sail further out for a day on the high seas with expert guides watching huge southern right whales patrolling the Indian Ocean. Look down and you may glimpse a cruising great white shark. We can arrange the ultimate adrenalin rush as you descend in scuba gear with just the bars of your cage separating you.
