Recommendation for Our Short-Term Guests
For visitors staying with us for only 10 to 14 days, we highly recommend including the following activities in your itinerary. Each of these experiences deserves a full day, ensuring you get the most out of your stay:
- Table Mountain in the morning/midday, followed by an afternoon and evening at the V&A Waterfront—potentially including a boat trip to Robben Island in the afternoon.
- Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope (a scenic peninsula tour), with whale watching in False Bay during the season.
- First Winelands Tour: Stellenbosch (southeast) and Franschhoek.
- Second Winelands Tour: Stellenbosch (northwest) and Paarl.
- Gansbaai for shark diving in the morning, followed by whale watching in Hermanus in the afternoon, and ending with a visit to Gordon’s Bay in the early evening.
Alternatively, Hermanus for whale watching, with lunch at Bien Tang’s Cave and a wine tasting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley at Hamilton Russell and/or Bouchard Finlayson. - Game Park Safari featuring the Big Five until early afternoon, followed by a wine tasting in the Robertson Valley.
- A guided tour through the Cape Peninsula and Cape Town on an Open-Top Double-Decker Bus is a great way to get an excellent overview of the area - preferably at the beginning of the trip.
With these seven days packed with adventures and some relaxing days in between, your 10- to 14-day itinerary will be nearly complete. Keep in mind that many of these excursions involve extended driving, which can be time-consuming and require extra energy.
Additional Experiences for a Well-Rounded Stay
- A visit to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, ideally on a Sunday for one of the summer concerts.
- A relaxing boat cruise, possibly at sunset, off Sea Point aboard a catamaran.
- A hiking day with wine tastings right here in our stunning Constantia Valley.
For Adrenaline Junkies
For those seeking an extra thrill, paragliding and/or skydiving are also exciting options!
