A bar, and website, that’s dedicated to sourcing honest, natural and sustainably-produced wines. The space is lovely, and their website offers a weekly curated case of mixed wines, making finding new, great wine easy.
It’s hard to miss – the bright yellow building on Long Street. If you’re looking to embark on a night out, and like beer it’s a good starting point. There is a wide selection of local, international and micro-brewed beer, as well as yummy flammkuchen.

an old-school night at the bioscope, this is one of the few independent cinema houses in the country. It was opened by Princess Labia in 1949 and shows artsy films at a fraction of the price of commercial mall-based cinemas. Plus you can bring the wine you bought at the bar into the movie house…

Very popular with tourists and for good reason - it's too easy to get up and down the mountain. Breathtaking views, restaurant on top. Better is to hike up and take a one-way ticket down.

Strawberry picking! A lovely way to spend a few hours in the summer months (from October to December). There’s a restaurant and a bunch of wine farms nearby as well, so you can really pack in a day’s worth of ensuring you’re well fed and watered with tasty local victuals.

If you’re looking to explore the winelands, this is pretty special way to do it. Really, the question is who doesn’t want to explore some of the best vineyards (Haute Cabrière, Dieu Donnè, Chamonix, Rickety Bridge and Grande Provence as well as the Huguenot Museum) on an 1890s-style, open-sided Brill Tram?

Of the famous four beaches, 1st is my favourite - somehow it feels more charming and relaxed, less pretentious and on the right evening, there are few better places to throw a frisbee or sip a cold one (but don't let the policeman see you sipping it)...

Unless you're a surfer, come here when the wind isn't blowing...and let this beach blow your mind! Vast, breathtaking and waves aplenty. One of my Top 3 Beaches of The World. Big call.

Long, gentle drive out of town and a beautiful place to go for a walk on the beach. This name is quite literal, come at sunrise and a quiet mist hugs the hills. Coffee in Simon's Town...sorted.

A must-see. It’s a gorgeous as well as informative outing spent admiring the local flora at the foot of Devil’s Peak. There’s an aerial walkway that offers a fresh perspective on the gardens, a restaurant, and, in summer, weekly live music that’s a real sunshine-y, picnic-y, lazy-hazy-day treat.

You haven't fully experienced Cape Town until you've driven the iconic Chapman's Peak. Pull over at the main viewpoint looking across Hout Bay, climb down the rocks to the little amphitheater...
