The Mother City is best enjoyed in a relaxed fashion away from the peak season rush.
I hate to destroy your illusions of us Capetonians but, actually, few of us are so wealthy we can dine at The Test Kitchen twice a week or watch the sun go down over the Atlantic from the roof bar at Radisson RED in the Waterfront whenever the mood takes us.
Obviously, the time of year you choose to visit Cape Town is generally determined by whether you and your partner have pink-foot appendages. The Mother City is crowded and over-expensive during all domestic school holidays and our silliest season occurs when these coincide with the northern hemisphere winter.
The road from Simonstown to Cape Point via Smitswinkel Bay is by far the most underrated coastal drive in the Western Cape in terms of scenic beauty. The outlook is, however, to the east and is best traversed with a mug of takeaway coffee as the sun is coming up over the sea.Another benefit to staying in “the deep south”, as we call it, is you’re never far from Noordhoek and Chapman’s Peak Drive.
