AIRPORT / V&A WATERFRONT (CAPE PENINSULA) - 4 Nights:
Cape Town is without doubt one of the most beautiful
destinations in the world. Blending the old with the new, it has a relaxed,
almost continental atmosphere. The influence of early Dutch settlers
in 1652, Malay slaves and British rulers has created a rich tapestry
of culture not found anywhere else.
Situated in the heart of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Cape Town's
premier entertainment and tourist attraction, The Portswood
is one of South Africa's most popular hotels - a four star oasis of
calm and comfort alongside the active nightlife and vibrant restaurants
of the Waterfront.
The natural theme chosen for The Portswood Hotel has been carried throughout
the private as well as public areas of the hotel. All the rooms offer
views of either the harbour or the full splendour of Table Mountain.
The bright and spacious rooms are fully equipped with individual air
conditioning, DSTV, tea/coffee machines, en suite bathroom with bath,
shower and toilet and direct dial telephones. Although it is situated
on the Waterfront, the hotel is far enough removed from the actual working
harbour to ensure a good night's sleep.

CAPE TOWN / STELLENBOSCH (WINELANDS) - 3 Nights:
The Winelands of South Africa have been described as
the most beautiful and scenic in the World, and is a true 365 days a
year destination. Spring's beautiful still days are ideal for a hot
air balloon ride, for taking long walks in the regions vineyards or
attending one of the annual festivals at Stellenbosch or Franschhoek.
Stellenbosch, the oldest town in the country after Cape
Town, is undoubtedly the most scenic and historically preserved town
in Southern Africa. Oak-lined streets next to water furrows compliment
the many fine examples of elegant Cape Dutch, Victorian and Georgian
architecture - all part of this unique "Town of Oaks".
Franschhoek was originally known as 'Olifants Hoek',
after elephants took to calving in the sheltered valley. Between 1688
and 1690 land was apportioned to 200 Huguenots fleeing persecution in
France. Finding the climate similar to that of France, the settlers
planted vines. Today, 20 members of the Vignerons produce wines consumed
throughout the world.
Situated in the heart of the world-renowned Cape Stellenbosch Winelands,
on the Southern tip of Africa, Spier is undoubtedly the
most unique Winelands development in the world. An enchanting venue
overseen by a team dedicated to giving guests an unrivalled experience
of 'unexpected pleasures'.
The Village at Spier- a 155-bed hotel on the estate just outside Stellenbosch
in the heart of the world-renowned Cape Winelands - is only 15 minutes
from the beaches of Gordon's Bay and the Strand and a quick 30-minute
drive from central Cape Town.
