Cape Town may seem extravagant for a short break, but overnight flights and virtually no time difference means you can experience this handsome waterfront city in a long weekend without jetlag. With an eye-popping setting, doorstep beaches and attractive vineyards out the back door, Cape Town is a delightful tonic in the midst of a British winter.

Edwin Doran’s Travel World says
We reckon that The Bluff, a development of luxurious apartments on the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, is the best address in Cape Town. In a city which boasts the jaw-dropping Table Mountain as a backdrop, a lively marina, superb beaches from Clifton to Camp’s Bay and some of the finest - and best value - restaurants in the world, the freedom and space offered by waterfront apartment-living makes it the perfect base for a short stay.
We have 35 years experience in the travel industry and work with two local companies, offering unrivalled service and a full range of apartments from studios to penthouses.
All the bedrooms are en suite and you’ll have at least one balcony, as well as a lounge/dining area, TV and WiFi, and kitchen. We’ll make sure you have fresh towels and linen every other day, and there’s a health club and series of pools reserved exclusively for guests.
Africa’s best shopping and entertainment centre is just a few minutes walk away. And, before you head off, we’ll be happy to give you our insider tips on Cape Town’s restaurants, whether you fancy a lazy outdoor brunch on the waterfront, the best seafood in town, or an intimate candlelit dinner.
