Table Bay Hotel was the Cove Travel recommendation for the final part of the holiday – and they could not have chosen better. The hotel is situated right on the Victoria and Alfred waterfront and has wonderful views of the Indian Ocean and Table Mountain. After an orientation tour that included a ride on the famed cable-car and lunch at Groot Constantia, the group enjoyed their first night at Table Bay Hotel with the best still to come. Breakfast at Table Bay Hotel is a truly memorable experience and is regarded by many experts as the finest in the world. Imagine, for instance, a choice of nearly 30 different kinds of yoghurts, 40 varieties of fruit and specialities from all over the world as well as local oysters and seafood. And all that before you even reach the main traditional breakfast buffet! The five-day stay in Cape Town included golf at Royal Cape and Pearl Valley plus a full day excursion to Stellenbosch and the surrounding winegrowing areas and ended with a memorable sunset cruise into the bay. Those of you who missed out on this exciting adventure, don’t despair … the team at Cove Travel are busy working on the itinerary for the next group trip. Watch this space.
