Cape Town Holidays
Description
Cape Town, South Africa
Breathtakingly diverse in landscape and holiday experiences, South Africa is unforgettable. Many first-time visitors make a beeline for the Cape, the Garden Route and Kruger National Park, and with good reason, but this amazing land rewards a longer-than-usual stay, giving you a chance to enjoy less well-known adventures such as the scenery and battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal and the fascinating blend of cultures in Gauteng.
Mount Nelson, Cape Town
An oasis of privacy and tranquillity, the luxurious Mount Nelson Hotel is set in nine acres of landscaped gardens at the foot of Table Mountain, just a short stroll from the historic city centre.
The Mount Nelson is five minutes drive from the centre of Cape Town, seven minutes from the Waterfront and 30 minutes from the airport.
The elegant facilities include a selection of restaurants and bars including pool terrace restaurant. You can enjoy afternoon tea in the lounge often accompanied by a pianist. Heated swimming pools, all-weather tennis courts and a fitness centre are available with a selection of body treatments in the hotel’s new spa.
