Cape Town, South Africa

Brenden Mulligan

Cape Town was stunning. I didn't expect it. An absolutely beautiful city on the coast, surrounded by incredible natural experiences. Spend a few days in the town, then venture down the coast and then northeast to the winelands. So much to do, it's hard to leave.

Tips

Must Do Table Mountain , One of the most beautiful scenic points I've ever been to, plan to spend a few hours on top of Table Mountain. I went my first day and it was a great way to get our bearings. You'll be blown ...
Must Do Clouds Estate , If you're in the Winelands, seriously consider this place. I stayed here for a few nights in one of their self service cottages. The property is absolutely beautiful, the chenin Blanc made on site is delicious, and the staff is ...
Must Do camps bay beach , Camps Bay is AMAZING. AMAZING. My favorite part of Cape Town. I wouldn't stay anywhere else the next time I was there. Not only was it beautiful, but it has a condensed main strip that's walkable but doesn't feel too ...
Must Do Cape of Good Hope , You're close enough, you need to make it down to the cape and look around. The drive from Cape Town is phenomenal and the park around the Cape is beautiful.
Must Do The Roundhouse , Everyone who I asked before going told me to make sure to go to Roundhouse. You can go for casual lunch, a very formal dinner, or just cocktails. I had my last glass of wine here, overlooking a beautiful view ...
Must Do Fairview Wine and Cheese , I think this is known as more of a commercial winery, but that's okay. I loved it. I did the master wine and cheese tasting, which lasted 90 minutes and was $8. It included 9 wines and 8 cheeses. Everything ...
Do Dunes , If you're down in Hout Bay, this is a great little place to eat that has really reasonable prices (I got a $10 filet that was about 3x bigger than your typical US filet). Good vibe in an old cottage.
Do Green Point , great area
Do Ernie Els Winery , Great scenery and great wine.
Do Wakame , This little restaurant / bar in Green Point was great. All the food we had there was delicious, and happy hour out on the porch in really fun (especially fridays). Get there early.
Do Boulders Beach , If you're down in the area, you need to stop at boulders beach. There are two attractions, the penguins and the scenery. When I was there, the scenery was by far the most impressive part. Some of the photos I ...
Do Dizzy's , Fun, local dive bar that has decent bar food and a fun scene.
Miss Kleine Zalze , We heard a lot of good things about this winery, but it wasn't our favorite. Most of the others had better views.
Miss Van Hunks , Local restaurant that was just okay. It felt even more western than most of the city. Lots of better places to grab a bite to eat.
