    UK - Cape Town

    You’ll fly overnight from the UK to Cape Town. The small time difference means there will be no jet lag preventing you from exploring South Africa as soon as you arrive.

    Cape Town

    Arrive in the ‘Mother City’ and be whisked away to The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa. Have your first day to relax and enjoy the breath-taking views of the Atlantic Ocean. Treat yourself to a spa treatment or stretch your legs and explore one of the nature trails behind the hotel followed by a gourmet picnic. This is a great location for whale watching during the season.

    Cape Town

    Following a hearty breakfast, join your private guide for a day of adventure. You can start the morning with either a hike up Table Mountain or if you want to take it easy jump on board the cable car and enjoy 360-degree views as you ascend this city landmark. Once at the top enjoy a walk with your guide stopping to see the hyrax before enjoying a picnic.

    Cape Town - Paternoster

    After breakfast, your hire car will be delivered to the hotel. Enjoy a scenic drive north to Paternoster, a quaint fishing village and your home for the next two nights is The Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel. Discover wild beauty along this unspoilt coastline known for its beaches, white-washed fishermen’s cottages, seafood, and art scene. Explore the charming town by bike or take a guided coastal hike. Round off the day with dinner at the restaurant set right on the beach.

    Paternoster

    You have all day to explore Paternoster or simply recharge by the pool. Take a peaceful stroll on the beach dotted with white-washed cottages and rugged fynbos. Enjoy a range of activities on offer from kayaking to guided beach buggy dunes. If you want to try a unique dining experience, we recommend booking a table at Wolfgat. With only 20 diners per sitting this is a one-off experience.

    Paternoster - Cederberg

    Time to leave the coast and head to the rugged Cederberg Mountains, your home for the next three nights. The wilderness has an exceptional botanical diversity. Among the twisted rock formations, farmers cultivate the world-famous rooibos tea. Join your guide for a nature drive or guided walk. Weather permitting enjoy a candlelight dinner under the stars ready for your adventure tomorrow.

Each evening enjoy a fine dining experience in the restaurant.

    Cederberg - Cape Town
