Departure

Lawhill Luxury Apartments

Day 1

Upon arrival at you will be met by a member from our

andBeyond team who will drive you to Lawhill Luxury

Apartments. As you drive toward the city, your view from afar

will be Table Mountain, one of the most spiritual places on

earth, with its heart, two oceans and the beautiful city of Cape

Town at its feet. Explore the sights during your 3 night stay at

the Lawhill Luxury Apartments in a Luxury Two Bedroom

Apartment. Your stay inlcudes daily servicing, wi-fi, coffee,

tea, sugar, milk and bottled water on arrival.

Day 2

This full-day tour takes in the scenic highlights of the Cape

Peninsula, including activities guaranteed to delight and

entertain family members of all ages. Explore the warm sands

of Clifton’s four secluded beaches and browse the sidewalk

cafés and bars of trendy Camp’s Bay. The next stop is the

spectacular coastal suburb of Hout Bay, a former fishing village

with a long, sandy beach facing a bay framed by the mountains.

If open, the tour will continue along the breath-taking

Chapman’s Peak Drive before stopping near Simon’s Town,

where children can enjoy the opportunity to hunt for a wide

variety of polished gemstones in the Scratch Patch while adults

shop for jewellery at Mineral World. Just a little further we stop

again to explore the penguin colony at Boulders Beach, where

you can choose to enjoy lunch at a local restaurant before

wandering the beachside paths and watching the antics of these

charming creatures. We then head to Cape Point Reserve,

where you can walk or take the funicular to the famous Cape

Point Lighthouse, which boasts magnificent views over False

Bay and the shoreline. Also within the reserve is the fabled Cape

of Good Hope, the most south-western point of the African

continent. The day ends at the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical

Gardens, where you are free to ramble along the wide paths,

relax on the spreading lawns or even enjoy the spectacular

aerial walkway through the treetops.

Day 3

Explore the scenic city of Cape Town on a family adventure that

begins with a ride on the revolving cable car up to the top of

iconic Table Mountain. Marvel at spectacular views over the city

and the entire Cape Peninsula as you stroll along its flat top or,

if the weather is not favourable, explore the smaller peak

known as Signal Hill. From here, travel to Company Gardens,

set up in the 17th century as a fresh produce garden used to

supply ships stopping in the harbour and now home to the SA

Museum, Cultural History Museum, Houses of Parliament,

National Gallery and St George’s Cathedral. Next, witness one

of Cape Town’s oldest traditions as you head up to Signal Hill

for the firing of the noonday gun. Taking place every day except

Sundays, this involves the firing of the world’s oldest cannons

charged by gunpowder that are still in daily use. Originally

intended to provide a time signal for ships anchored in the bay,

this maritime tradition continues to this day. From here, you

will visit the traditional Malay Quarter, situated in the

predominantly Muslim Bo-Kaap. Admire the area’s brightly

coloured houses, which date back as far as the 17th century and

get a glimpse into one of the Cape’s many vibrant cultures. The

day’s adventure ends at the V&A Waterfront, with an

opportunity to explore the Two Oceans Aquarium, which houses

one of the best marine collections in the world. The Aquarium

showcases the variety of marine species that live in both the

Indian and the Atlantic Oceans, with a number of exhibits

designed especially to provide up-close, interactive

experiences for children. Once you have explored to your

heart’s content, enjoy lunch at one of the many popular

restaurants at the Waterfront.
