An area of outstanding natural beauty, boasting some of the most famous landmarks in the world, Cape Town, the Mother City of South Africa, is one of the most stunning locations for a rented serviced apartment or holiday letting.

South Africa’s 3rd largest city is part of a vast National Park that covers ¾ of the peninsula and boasts rich and varied terrain, an abundance of flora and fauna and some exquisite stretches of coastline. Table mountain sits comfortably within the National Park and the summit, 1086 metres up, can be reached by cable car. Once on the top of the flat mountain you can look down over Cape Town and enjoy far reaching views of the surrounding area.

A visit to Cape Town wouldn’t be complete without a stroll along the V&A Waterfront. Enjoy a coffee at one of the cafes here whilst overlooking the water, do a bit of shopping or just soak up the electric atmosphere of this waterside meeting place.

Your serviced residence or aparthotel in Cape Town also gives you access to Boulders Beach, a beautiful stretch of beach where large boulders have formed intimate little coves. But the biggest draw of this place are the 3000 Jackass penguins that have colonized the sands. Spend a day with the penguins and watch them go about their daily business in their natural habitat. Lots of fun and some great photo opportunities.

There are also abundant outdoor recreational facilities in Cape Town if you fancy something a little more active. Why not try your hand at mountain biking, sand boarding or surfing or, if that’s not enough adrenalin fuelled action for you then perhaps you would prefer diving with great white sharks. On a lighter note you could just hire a couple of bikes and cycle through the Constantia Winelands, not quite so hair raising but just as much fun. This region boasts miles and miles of wild terrain just waiting to be explored so why not pack up a picnic and spend the day hiking over some of the world’s most stunning landscapes. Remember to take sun cream, hats and water with you.

For a delightful place to eat that is within close proximity of your self-catered apartment or holiday let in Cape Town why not try The Test Kitchen. This fabulous restaurant is situated in an old biscuit mill and here you can enjoy some really adventurous cuisine. Go in with an open mind and be prepared to sample things that you have never tried before. Everything is beautifully presented, the wines are superb and the trout tartare is just exquisite.
