City Centre

Make your way to the beating heart of Cape Town and wander around stalls offering handcrafted African souvenirs on Greenmarket Square. Stroll around the beautiful Company’s Garden and breathe in the sweet fragrance of the roses. Or soak up the atmosphere and watch the world go by over coffee in a quirky café. As night falls, head to Long Street for cocktails at a buzzing bar. Stay in the heart of the action at one of our great-value, affordably-priced hotels.

Winelands

No Cape Town holiday is complete without a visit to its renowned winelands. Even before you sample the world-famous produce, captivating views of breathtaking scenery await. Explore the verdant, rolling vineyards with their majestic mountain backdrop. Book one of our hotels set amid some of the region’s most prestigious wine estates, including Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Tour the cellars, learn about the production process and taste some of the region’s finest wines.

Take a drive along the stunning Cape Peninsula coastline or choose a base in scenic Camps Bay, at the foot of the magnificent Twelve Apostles mountain range. Stretch out on the soft white sands of one of Cape Town’s most beautiful beaches. Enjoy an al fresco lunch or dine on gourmet cuisine at one of the many seafront eateries. Watch the sunset over the shimmering Atlantic Ocean while sipping cocktails at a chic bar. Or groove to the latest sounds at a hip nightspot.

Hermanus

A two-hour journey south of Cape Town will take you to Hermanus, known as the ‘Riviera of the South’. Visit in summer and take a front-row seat for the awe-inspiring natural spectacle of majestic whales frolicking in the shallow surf around Walker Bay.
