Must See

Table Mountain

One of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World, with breathtaking views across the whole Cape Peninsula. Ride the cableway to the summit — and if it's your birthday, your ticket is free.

In summer, take the Sunset Special: a cable car to the top for those long, balmy golden-hour evenings. Bring your camera.

V&A Waterfront

Africa's most visited destination — a working harbour beneath Table Mountain, packed with restaurants, markets, boutiques, the Two Oceans Aquarium and boat trips to Robben Island.

± 25 min · quick access from Table View

Blouberg Beach & Kitesurfing

The world's most photographed view of Table Mountain, and one of its best wind and kitesurfing spots. Long white sands, beach cafés and unforgettable sunsets.

± 10 min from Arum Field

Durbanville Wine Route

Cool-climate Sauvignon Blanc country. A string of award-winning family estates with tastings, restaurants and views over rolling vineyards — right on Marshrose's doorstep.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden

One of the great botanical gardens of the world, set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Walk the Boomslang canopy bridge, or picnic at a summer sunset concert.
