Tintswalo Atlantic
Cape Town

Cape Town is one of the world's most beautiful cities, wedged between Table Mountain and the sea. Days can take in a cable car to the summit, the penguins of Boulders Beach, Robben Island, Kirstenbosch Gardens and the Cape of Good Hope, with evenings at some of Africa's best restaurants.
Where to stay
The Atlantic seaboard – Bantry Bay, Clifton and Camps Bay – has the sunsets and sea views. The V&A Waterfront is convenient, the City Bowl and Gardens are close to restaurants and Table Mountain, and Hout Bay feels like a seaside village.
Good to know
The summer months of December to March are warm and dry but busy; the southeaster wind can blow hard. Book the Table Mountain cableway early in the day.
