Secure Complex
The pool in the apartment complex is a quiet oasis to read or listen to your iPod. The garden is a great place to top up your tan and to picnic alfresco.
The apartment complex is secure with regular security patrols and on street parking is normally easy to find.
Cape Town has a great international airport and most of the world's big airlines fly there. For direct flights from the UK, British Airways, South African Airways and Virgin Atlantic have up to two flights a day. Most of the national European carriers also fly direct and there are flights from the US with Delta and South African Airways.
If you can't get a direct flight then you could fly to Johannesburg and connect with a no frills carrier like Kulula.com to Cape Town. The apartment is 30 minutes in a taxi from the airport. Or you can quite easily pick up a rental car at the airport and drive into town.
The roads are great and it's a left-hand drive country like the UK.
About the area
The Cape Peninsula has a long and eventful history. Prehistoric people first left their mark here more than 600,000 years ago and traces of the tools of these Early Stone Age hunter-gatherers have been found in a wind-scoured depression near the Cape of Good Hope. The Middle Stone Age inhabitants (dating from 200,000 to 40,000 years ago) also left evidence of their life on the Peninsula. There are about six sites where artefacts, including scrapers and fragments of worked stone, dating from this period have been found and more than a 100 sites where signs of Late Stone Age habitation (from about 21,000 years ago) is evident. The San (or Bushmen) hunter-gatherers relied on the seashore for most of their food and are known colloquially as the strandlopers or beachwalkers. Middens (prehistoric refuse heaps) created by the strandlopers are found in a number of caves in the park and reveal a great deal about their lifestyle. About 2000 years ago the Khoikhoi migrated from the north, displacing the San, bringing with them their herds of cattle and sheep. It was the Khoikhoi who were the dominant tribe when the Europeans sailed into Table Bay. On April 6, 1652, the Dutchman, Jan van Riebeeck, stepped ashore at Table Bay tasked with establishing a refreshment station for the Dutch East India Company and their ships that sailed the route to the Dutch East Indies. A fort (the castle) and gardens were established at the foot of Table Mountain. A viticulture industry was initiated and land was granted to settlers to grow crops. And so began European settlement at the Cape.
There really is so much to do you'll have to return. For this visit here are some ideas:
Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was in prison.
Table Mountain Cape Point (the most southerly point of the African continent).
Hermanus for whale watching Penguins on Boulders Beach Cocktails and watch the sun set on Camps Bay (the African riviera).
Great seafood in any of the restaurants along Camps Bay.
The Winelands (book a picnic and enjoy it surrounded by stunning scenery).
Visit a Township to get the whole story on Cape Town.
Shopping at the V&A or Canal Walk (designer gear for Rands).
Safari abot 2 hours away in a private game farm.
Hiking up Table Mountain if you wish.
Helicopter flights.
Shark diving (in a cage!).
Cycling
Golfing
Surfing
Fishing
Dining at some of the world's best restaurants; we recommend
Five Flies - modern cuisine in a fabulous building.
Tokara's - in the Winelands Bukhara's - probably one of the best Indian restaurants in the world.
Cafe Manhattan for great steaks and burgers.
Tank for sushi.
Il Leone for excellent Italian food
You'll need to book these places in advance. They're good and therefore very popular with those in the know!
