Cape Point, Cape Town

Cape Point Nature Reserve is a really special place, particularly if you get off the main road and get out and about, not in your car!.Highly recommended. There's something about standing on the 'almost' Southern tip of Africa (....this is actually reserved for Cape Augulhas about 140kms up the east coast but no plunging cliffs into boiling seas and other visual treats there.) However, don't bother with the restuarant, the service and attitude we where subjected to were quite astounding. So bad was the service and most importantly the dismissive attitude that we even had a British tour guide come and apologise to us on behalf of the restuarant's poor service. This according to him was a common occurance. Unfortunately it is one of those restuarants with some of the world's most spectacular views, with no competition and a constant flow of pink cheeked Africa eager tourists. You take it or leave it. Tough luck! I was last there 3 months ago and I am still seething. Again however, this is not true of the restuarants in that area, where we have only had good service and willing and happy staff.....plenty of great restuarants to choose from, just don't choose this one! The Nature Reserve itself however is a must if you are in Cape Town!
