Notes
Hotel was good for price, close to city center... which is great during the day. On weekends and at night, it can be pretty dead.

The hotel can/will arrange van service to tourist areas like Table Mountain, and runs a regular shuttle to the Wharf.

The included breakfast is quite good! (We liked the wheat bread quite a bit.)

All of our group is staying here.

Great hotel, very convenient to wine country. Their outdoor courtyard/pool was very inviting on a hot day. They also had a nice "family room" area that we used a few times to hang out with all the members of our group.

Fairview Vineyards

Largest wine exporter in South Africa. Nice grounds + big tasting room.
Thing to Do
Fri Dec 30 6:00am - Fri Dec 30 12:00pm
Notes
Fairview is one of the largest vineyard exporters in South Africa, under both their Fairview and Goats du Roam labels.

The tasting room was quite crowded, as was the cheese tasting area. It's got ample grounds, though, to buy both cheese and wine and enjoy the area.
