Cape Town

With its majestic backdrop of Table Mountain, spectacular coastline and harbour, Cape Town is quite rightly regarded as one of the world's most beautiful and interesting cities. Nearby at Cape Agulhas is where the 'two oceans meet'. Just an hour away are the superb vineyards with their lovely Cape Dutch homesteads, and then there is the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront where one can while away the hours or even days - wining, dining or shopping. These four day breaks include a half day city tour and a full day Cape Peninsula tour. Whatever your length of stay in Cape Town - it won't be long enough.
