Things To Do Around Cotswold

Table Mountain

Table Mountain is the most iconic landmark of South Africa. It is also the country’s most photographed attraction and its famous cable car took millions of people to its top.

 

Table Mountain has become the single most welcoming icon to not only our people, but travelers from all over the world.

 

Since the first person laid eyes on Table Mountain, it has exerted its powerful and charismatic pull, enchanting and drawing any and all who fall under its spell. The way to the top has never been easy, and for many centuries only a handful of bold and enterprising people could say that they had climbed it.

 

Hiking to the top of Table mountain is for the more adventurous of people. Those would would like to take it easy and enjoy the views, can take advantage of cable car.

 

Signal Hill and Lions Head are also nearby and offer an enjoyable hiking experience for any age.

Why Not Join The Fun?

About 40 km to the east of Cape Town, lying in the shadow of a continuous belt of Cape fold mountains, lies a series of generous valleys known as the Cape Winelands – a collection of historic towns, little hamlets and Cape Dutch farmsteads that provide well-regarded South African wines to the world.

 

These mountains create an incredible scenic backdrop for a myriad vines, but they are also one of the reasons wines do so well here. Their geological compositions provide unique soil conditions that directly effect the character of wine.

 

 The Cape Winelands district is a landlocked area in-between the West Coast and the Overberg coasts, including Drakenstein, Somerset West, Stellenbosch, Witzenberg and Breede River Valley, and Langeberg winelands. Collectively they are known as the ‘pearls’ of South Africa’s rural and small towns.
 
 
And like all good Wine Vineyards there is the opportunity to discover the wines with onsite wine tasting and many have excellent restaurants too.

Drop the kids off at one of two film cinemas before shopping a range of premium local and international brands in the mall.

Finally, as the stars come out and the city lights up, climb into the Cape Wheel for the inimitable 360° view of the marina, the city and the stadium, all framed in the foreground of Table Mountain.
