Sightseeing
To do's that will make your trip a memorable one.
This is a must do in Cape Town. The perspective and views you get of Cape Town are simply outstanding. The hike itself is easy and only takes about 45 min if you are moderately fit. Please do take warm clothes, water and use good shoes. The starting point is less than 10 min by car from the house.
Sunset is typically busy but you get the best views.

This is the local wine area within Cape Town. Some of these farms are well worth a visit (http://constantiawineroute.com/) and all offer wine tasting and have various restaurants. My particular favourite is Groot Constantia where you can buy the dessert wine Napoleon apparently drank while on on St Helena.

These gardens are well worth a visit (https://www.sanbi.org/gardens/kirstenbosch/). The gardens typically have art exhibitions and local concerts.
This is my preferred access point onto Table Mountain - up Skeleton Gorge, across to Maclears Beacon and over to the cable car at the front of the mountain - about a 4 hour stiff, but well marked hike (take water, warm clothes and wear good shoes).

This is in Constantia, so a bit far away from the house, but it is one of the best breakfast places I know of. Always busy and great food. Located on the outskirts of Constantia shopping centre, so close to the local wine farms.
