Or, for an idyllic sunbathing spot, head down into your garden, where your immense heated swimming pool sits sparkling in the sunshine! You even enjoy direct access to this incredible Clifton beach straight from your garden!Located right on the beachfront of Clifton’s third beach and within walking distance of Camps Bay, Cape Rock is a superb home for beach-lovers and city-folk alike – not to mention the wealth of rich natural landscapes between the two! Clifton itself is one of the most exclusive areas of the city. The four Clifton beaches are famous for their natural beauty, spectacular scenery and gentle waves year-round and its 4th beach even enjoys Blue Flag status.
What’s more, just to the south and within walking distance is Camps Bay, where you will find plenty of restaurants, bars and cafes, as well as, of course, more beaches! Meanwhile, just north of the four Clifton beaches and also within walking distance is Bantry Bay and its Sea Point Promenade, ideal for gentle strolling or even jogging, all with the most magnificent views! Indeed, across the sublime landscape of Cape Town, there are virtually endless attractions and excursions to visit and join – so you can be sure there’s something for everyone! Be sure to head up Table Mountain; you can take the cable car (or a 2 to 3 hour very steep walk!) up to the top, where 2km of paths can be wandered giving you panoramic views of the city and Table Bay. There’s even a restaurant up here for dining with a view!
Just around a 10-minute drive from both the City Bowl and the V&A Waterfront, you’re ideally located to get out and about to the many stunning sights of the city. The iconic V&A Waterfront, a retail and entertainment area right at the foot of Table Mountain with tons of shops, restaurants, markets of all kinds and even both an Aquarium and Marine Museum. It is the starting point for almost all tours, cruises and excursions. Within a short walk of here is the Green Point market, tucked just outside the Green Point Stadium. Visit on Sundays to find locals selling all kinds of authentic arts, craft and curios – just be sure to barter, as they’ll be expecting you to!
Alternatively, another unforgettable day out is a trip to Robben Island, the Maximum Security Prison where political prisoners, including Nelson Mandela, were held during the apartheid. The tour begins at the V&A Waterfront and includes not only a tour of the prison itself but also meeting a former political prisoner and a tour of the 575-hectare Island which often includes sightings of penguins!
If you’re a fan of wine you already know South Africa is unmissable – what you might not know is that the Constantia Valley, with some estates dating back as far as 1685, is the oldest winemaking region in the southern hemisphere! In this exquisite valley you will find not only vineyards but also countless excellent restaurants to enjoy along the way!
As well as wine, Cape Town and its surrounding region are major fruit producers and you can enjoy some of the freshest, most delicious fruits around here. As you’d expect, there is also tons of seafood, including yellowtail, cape salmon and kingklip, which are absolutely delicious.
With both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean to choose from, you’ll find an inspiring selection of water-sports available all along the coastline! Surfing (and kite surfing) are, as you might expect, major sports in the area, thanks to the varied coastline made up of protected coves to huge open beaches with enormous waves, promising something for all levels! You can also take part in a little sea kayaking, where you’ve got a good chance of spotting seals, penguins, dolphins – and even the odd whale!
