This 5-day tour of Cape Town and the Winelands offers guests an in-depth exploration of one of the world's most breathtaking cities.
The first two days are best spent exploring the beautiful coastline of the Cape, visiting the vibrant waterfront, and experiencing the incredible views from the top of Table Mountain. Cape Town offers an array of activities and some of the world's finest cuisine. Winchester Mansions will be your humble abode and is situated at the famous Sea Point Promenade, offering spectacular views of the Atlantic ocean and only a few minutes drive from the V&A Waterfront.
Your journey continues as you head to Stellenbosch; the university town in South Africa's Western Cape province. It's surrounded by the vineyards of the Cape Winelands and the mountainous nature reserves of Jonkershoek and Simonsberg. The town's oak-shaded streets are lined with cafes, boutiques and art galleries. Cape Dutch architecture gives a sense of South Africa's Dutch colonial history, as do the Village Museum's period houses and gardens. Spier Hotel is a working farm that produces its own collection of wines and is home to a spectacular collection of artwork. During your stay at Spier, you will have the opportunity to experience a Segway tour, an eagle encounter, world-class cuisine, and visit the artisan studio and craft market.
This tour is ideal for solo explorers, couples, and families.
Children of all ages are welcome at the Winchester Mansions. A large variety of amenities and services are available to ensure a delightful stay for little guests.
Children of all ages are welcome at Spier Hotel. The Kids' Clubhouse has been specially designed to roll out fun and secure childcare services for young hotel guests. Whilst parents are out wine tasting, at the pool or having lunch on the farm, children are being thoughtfully cared for. They have an imaginative variety of developmentally appropriate activities for children, from age 2-12. Icing biscuits and pizza-making. Feather arts and farm walks. And lots more.
Facilities include two indoor playrooms and an outdoor play area.
Accommodation: The Winchester Mansions
This morning you arrive in the 'mother city' of South Africa where you will be met and transferred to your hotel for check-in. Depending on your time of arrival you may have some time to explore the V&A Waterfront or perhaps take a ride up Table Mountain to enjoy the awe-inspiring views of Cape Town. Harvey's at the Mansions offers guests South African cuisine with a European twist. The Winchester’s beautiful colonnaded Courtyard, built in the style of an Italian piazza, is a tranquil oasis from the pace of city life. Encircled by palm trees and water fountains, it makes a perfect setting for a romantic dinner under the stars.
