Top Highlights

  • V&A WaterfrontBo-Kaap's painted houses are a Cape Malay neighbourhood, not a colour scheme, and it is worth a guided walk rather than a drive-past.
  • Table MountainThe cable car shuts for wind at short notice — the "tablecloth" cloud is exactly that warning.
  • Chapman's Peak DriveGoing at eight is the best odds you get.
  • Hermanus cliff pathHermanus is the best land-based whale watching anywhere — southern rights come within metres of the cliff path from June to November.
  • Storms River MouthBloukrans is 216 m and has held the commercial bridge-bungy record since 1997.
  • Suspension bridgeIt is left optional and it is not cheap.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Would book with them again.
