Your Itinerary
4 nights in Cape Town
A family holiday in Cape Town is all about exploring the big attractions, discovering the lesser-known gems and becoming immersed in authentic experiences. Soak in the views from the summit of Table Mountain, from the drive along Chapman’s Peak and at Cape Point, where two oceans meet. Kayak among the resident penguins of Boulders Beach, watch for sharks (and possibly whales) from Boyes Drive and wander among the famous quays and shops of the V&A Waterfront.
This is no cookie-cutter Cape Town experience. Even your accommodation at the Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel speaks to the quirky eccentricity of the city. Each of the 15 rooms is unique; boldly cheeky but blanketed in luxury. It’s the kind of place that feels just like home, only amplified.
DINING SUGGESTIONS
From ocean-fresh fish to Cape Malay flavours and delicious street food, Cape Town promises a feast for the whole family.
WHERE YOU'LL STAY
Cape Cadogan
Set in the heart of Cape Town, this stately double-storeyed Victorian building dates back to the beginning of the 19th century. Each of its fifteen bedrooms has been individually decorated, striking a beautiful balance between classic-chic and bold-elegant.
