In Woodstock in the biscuit mill, really impressive, views of the whole city and the food is tapas style but not in the normal sense at all - very cool (Chef is Luke Dayle Roberts who also owns the Test Kitchen which is at the moment No1 restaurant in SA – also in biscuit mill and is fine dining).

Is a fabulous concept. By the same owner and chef Karen Dudley. You book a seat at a table with strangers, or your own group you wish to sit down for dinner with. But no matter how you do it, you will be in for an evening of delight. Booking essential. Worth checking their website. https://www.facebook.com/lovethediningroom/

Karen Dudley has lived and honed her culinary skills in Washington DC and in London, but now lives in Woodstock, Cape Town. She has this tiny, but amazing restaurant that prepares a daily menu and if you arrive by 12, you can choose your items from a buffet and pay for what you eat. The food is absolutely divine. http://www.lovethekitchen.co.za/

Woodstock is an edgy, evolving neighborhood where hipster cafes, veggie eateries and galleries occupy old factories covered with vivid murals. The renovated Old Biscuit Mill is home to cool design stores and hosts the weekly Neighbourhoods Market, with street food stalls, African handicrafts and designer fashion. On nearby streets, quirky stores sell vintage fashion, upcycled furniture and antiques. (Wikipedia). Gentrifications is evident here but it makes for an amazing experience. Do hold on to your belongings such as fancy cameras you leave unattended while you gaze on the scenery. It can be snatched here easily. But it is worth a great visit.

More or less between the apartment and the Waterfront is a suburb called De Waterkant. Cobble streets and walking distance to shops, it is a great area to stay in overnight or in an Airbnb or other short term rental. Nice vibe. Safe area. Although Cape Town is open and inclusive in terms of all gender and race, this area is especially popular and friendly in this regard. Wonderful area to stay. Close to everything.

We always love to drive out to Hout Bay – mainly for the nice ride along Chapman’s Peak. But our treat is to go eat fish and chips there at the harbor and enjoy the birds that have become very aquinted with the humans (guilty from feeding them I guess). But still a nice stop to make for Lunch if you drive out that way.

The Motor Museum is an interesting place covering more than 100 years of Motoring History. You will find South Africa’s First Perfume Museum. Take note that you have to MAKE A BOOKING in advance to do this, Below is a link where you can see what are offered as packages when you go to Franschhoek or the Motor Museum. Wineries near this area are plenty, including the famous La Motte, Boekenhoutskloof and Eikehof Wines. The town has many art, curio shops and eateries. And the Monuments there tells the history of the Huguenotes. I would not pay a visit to the Museum unless you have a specific interest. But a visit to the town in general is a worthy outing. Dutch Architecture makes it an amazing.

One of the major Universities in South Africa is in Stellenbosch so the town evolved very much around Student Life. But as rich in culture as Cape Town. Over Holiday periods it is not as busy as when the University is in session, but it is standing on its own as a tourist town with lots to offer.

My ABSOLUTE favourite, must-see!!! Don’t ask – just go. A wonderful family outing. Go early and eat lunch at the Greenhouse. Everything fresh from the gardens. For the restaurant Babel you usually need months in advance for reservations, so don’t bother. Enough to do for a good 4-5 hours. You can combine it with an outing to Paarl as they are within close proximity. https://www.babylonstoren.com/

The only real Safari that there is close to Cape Town is the Aquila Safari to which the link is posted below. Just under a 2 hour drive from Cape Town, you can get to experience the wildlife and medium range luxury without having to go to the more well-known areas that tourists go to when they specifically come for Safari. But if you are with kids and you want to not miss out while you are here, this is a golden opportunity to add in a Safari.

If you have no special destination in mind, I suggest you just drive over Chapmans Peak. It is worth every kilometer of the drive around the scenic coastline of the Cape. Start in the centre of Cape Town and drive out to Sea Point, then Camps Bay, Llandudno, Clifton etc all the way to Hout Bay.

You can get to Noordhoek when you take a drive out on Chapmans Peak or you can go the inland road. Famous for its beautiful white sand beaches in a Nature Conservation Reserve. You can go horse riding here on the beach, Caution re security at times. There had been some incidents with people on their own, but my understanding is that following those security has been increased. But I would not feel comfortable not pointing that out. The horse community is very tight knit in this area and if you stop in at the “The Toad in the Village”.
