    3 Nights in Cape Town

    WELCOME TO CAPE TOWN

    Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met by your English speaking representative, who will assist you to your transfer vehicle for your road transfer to your hotel. The day is yours to explore the city at your leisure.

    Day 2 begins with breakfast at the hotel before your guide collects you for a full day-tour of the spectacular Cape Peninsula. This awe-inspiring tour to the towering headland known as ‘Cape Point’ encompasses magnificent beaches, breathtaking views and picturesque coastal villages. Along the way you’ll see all the sights & beauty of the Cape.

    After breakfast on day 3, the day is yours to enjoy at leisure. We can recommend a variety of tours if you wish, such as a private day trip of the Winelands; a private half-day trip of the city and Table Mountain; a cooking class in ‘Bo-Kaap’ to experience authentic Cape Malay cuisine; or perhaps a private half-day City-to-Township tour to experience the stories of personal transformation from local entrepreneurs.

    With stunning opulence & unrivalled service, this hidden gem and place where you’ll be staying in Cape Town, is nestled away in a hub of peace & tranquility and boasts impressive views of Table Mountain and The Mother City. An absolute treat.
