Area Attractions

CAPE TOWN:
Considered by many to be one of the most beautiful cities in the world, most visitors will dedicate three to five days to Cape Town and its environs.

Table Mountain Robben Island, the Waterfront, The Peninsula and Cape Point, Boulders Penguin colony, Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, shopping, great beaches and many excellent museums and art galleries as well as some of the world?s finest restaurants. Many visitors also incorporate the winelands of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek etc in their Cape Town stay, as they are only a 40-50 minute drive from the city. You may choose to stay in the City or the foothills of Table Mountain (vibey, views of the bay, stroll to restaurants), on the Atlantic seaboard, (also very hip, great sunsets over the sea or on the Peninsula (far more laid back and country but just 20 minutes from the City.

CAPE WINELANDS:
Wine lovers and/or those appreciating the countryside might consider a day or so less in Cape Town in favour of a day or two dedicated to the Winelands. We recommend one or two different wine experiences (or both) if you take your glassful seriously! The first is centred on the Stellenbosch/Franschhoek Paarl area and the second in the Robertson wine region over the Hottentots Holland Mountains.

Stellenbosch is closer to Cape Town (40km) and resultantly considerable busier that the Robertson area. It is however more historical, boasting the oldest wine estates dating back more that 300 years. Robertson area my favourite is much more ?country? ? friendly and laid-back. As for quality of wines, both are excellent with winemakers from both claiming superiority and winning awards!! Maybe fit Stellenbosch into the Cape Town part of your trip, and the Robertson area into your travels east. It?s easily done.

WEST COAST:
Flower lovers will want to fit in a day or so on the West Coast during the spring flower season (late August to September) The normally drab countryside is then, for a few weeks transformed into a floral wonderland with sheets of vividly coloured blooms stretching to the horizon. Truly an awesome sight. You may do a day trip out of Cape Town but for the real thing then a full day much further north is required with an overnight stay ? Extremely advanced bookings required for those trips as accommodation becomes rarer than the tooth of the hen!! Flower season dovetails beautifully with the whale season so do consider both if you are that way inclined.
