Majeka House - 2 Nights of guilty pleasures

Cape Town

Located at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is South Africa's oldest city, stunningly framed between mountains and sea. Having recently been voted the second most desirable holiday destination in the world, The "Mother City" is recognised as one of the most beautiful cities on earth and offers a range of attractions, breathtaking sights and endless activities.

Apart from its stunning natural features, the city is blessed with a cosmopolitan ambience that meets with the approval of bohemians and descerning holidaymakers alike. Not far from the compact city centre, visitors can choose from a magnificent portfolio of world-class attractions - Table Mountain, Camps Bay beach, the Winelands, Robben Island and Cape Point nature reserve.

Life for Capetonians is focused on the outdoors, and visitors too find that the beach, mountain and hiking trails are the highlights of their stay. As a result, one seldom feels the constriction normally associated with being in a major urban centre, and each area of the city unfolding around the mountain possesses its own character and charms.

The somewhat erratic weather may rain on the Capetonians' parade on occasion but the city remains a year-round destination, although the most popular time to visit is still in the summer months between November and March.

Cape Town's laid back beauty and paradoxical character ensure that this is just about everyone's favourite South African city. Even if you are from Johannesburg.
