Cape Town, otherwise known as the "Mother City”, is a cherished destination among locals and internationals alike. The city is the legislative capital of South Africa and is located on a peninsula, on the country’s southwest coast. It has, in recent years, been named the best place in the world to visit by leading international media — and the reasons for this are unmistakable.
Cape Town is rich in natural beauty, diversity, entertainment and world-class developments. The region’s Mediterranean climate makes for pleasant summers, although winds can pick up. Notwithstanding Cape Town’s unpredictable weather, which has earned it the reputation of having four seasons in one day, the city experiences an average of over 3 000 hours of sunshine a year. Winters are typically rainy, but the city takes on a cosy, European atmosphere, which is easily embraced at one of the Winelands’ many estates, alongside a fireplace.
