Whale-watching is even possible from the comfort of the hotel restaurant. However, the location of the property is also ideal out of season with a central setting within town and quick access to the 7.5mi (12km) Hermanus Cliff Path. We spend the next two days in and around Cape Town, the most exciting city in South Africa. Our activities in Cape Town will, to some extent, be dictated by the weather as visits to sunday specials the top of Table Mountain, which has its own micro-climate, are determined by cloud cover and wind. Because of this often-temperamental weather, it is best not to prebook the cable car but to buy tickets on the spot (not included). Those staying in Cape Town post-tour may opt to visit Table Mountain later if the weather looks as though it may improve.
For those looking for something a little more fancy (but still affordable), you can live large with your choice of a small plate and main, or main and dessert, paired with a glass of local wine for $55. We’ll take the kingfish sashimi with coconut, ginger and finger lime, followed by the salmon fillet with liquorice teriyaki and edamame, washed down with a glass of Montalto’s finest. If you haven’t yet visited Cptn Jacks, this waterside restaurant is well worth a trip to Somerville. Get your mouth around a soft, doughy bao bun served alongside salty nori fries & a pint or wine of your choice for $20 midweek at The Hop Shop in Frankston.

Vegetarians and vegans can be well catered for on this trip – please inform us before departure of any special dietary requests so our local team can be well prepared. Our next destination is the much-celebrated wine region of South Africa. The industry here, which dates to the 17th century and was heavily influenced by French Huguenots, produces some of the best wines in the world.
