A little more about the Western Cape...

Cape Town has that enticing mix of modern vibrancy, fascinating history and exceptional natural beauty... all rubbing shoulders under the magic of the iconic Table Mountain. Cape Malay and centuries-old Dutch and British architecture, sits cheek-by-jowl with cutting-edge 21st century lofty apartments and sleek modern skyscrapers. Sit a while in this, South Africa’s ‘Mother City’, and enjoy the timeless buzz and bustle of flower sellers, buskers and craft markets.

The Houses of Parliament are just around the corner, as is the sensational Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, the hottest, happening part of the city, with boutique shops, the fun and entertaining Two Oceans Aquarium and innumerable great restaurants from which to watch the coming and going of the world’s finest ships, cruise liners and luxury yachts.

A short boat ride away is legendary Robben Island and the prison cell of the universally loved and admired former president of South Africa, Nelson Mandela.

Whale watching at Hermanus, ambling through the beautiful botanic gardens of Kirstenbosch, wine tasting at any or many of our legendary wine estates - there’s no doubt the Western Cape is a vast kaleidoscope of experiences. For those who constantly reach for the stars, a visit to the sleepy little Karoo town of Sutherland, where the night sky is ablaze with starlight and with its 11 world class telescopes, is drawing a new type of holiday maker to South Africa! 

Of course you may simply opt for time out with the beautiful people on the magnificent Clifton, Llandudno or Camps Bay beaches, followed by a chilled sundowner cocktail at a ritzy beachside pub or lounge. It’s all part of the charmed Cape lifestyle.
