Itineraries that pass through

  • Cape Peninsula day

    1 day, 6 stops

    A long sightseeing day, not a gentle toddler itinerary. Leave early and keep Hout Bay brief so Cape Point remains the main morning outing. Chapman’s Peak’s official site displayed CLOSED when checked on 14 November 2026: this coastal leg is conditional (check before you go). If closed, use Constantia Nek and Ou Kaapse Weg, allowing extra time.

  • A multi-generational family week

    7 days, 15 stops

    Spend the first five nights in Sea Point or at the Waterfront, then move to Franschhoek for the final two. Use a vehicle with pre-arranged child seats and any required mobility equipment. One main outing a day, optional afternoons and a genuinely quiet day keep the week manageable.
