The beaches of Camps Bay and neighbouring Clifton are ideal for relaxing and soaking up the sun (although the water is cold). It is a short drive to central Cape Town and the V & A Waterfront complex from where you can take a trip to Robben Island. Take the cable way (5 minutes from villa) to the top of Table Mountain for a spectacular view of Cape Town and the surrounding area. Groot Constantia, the grandest of the old Cape Dutch wine estates is a twenty minute drive and well worth a visit. The wine estates all have gourmet restaurants and some offer excellent picnic facilities too. Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens is a major tourist attraction as is Cape Point where the two oceans meet, and both are easily accessible. The open-topped bus which gives guided tours of Cape Town and can be boarded in Camps Bay, is a good way of getting to know the area. For more shopping and fine dining, Canal Walk at Century City is a 15 minute drive north from Cape Town on the N1.
