Step outside and feel the vibrant pulse of Cape Town. Just a short stroll away, the Robben Island Ferry awaits to take you on a poignant journey through South Africa's history. Alternatively, lose yourself in the sensory overload of the nearby markets, or indulge in retail therapy at the sophisticated boutiques of the V&A Waterfront.
Back at the hotel, the rooftop terrace offers a secluded retreat with its shimmering pool and panoramic views, providing a serene spot to sip a cocktail as the sun dips below the horizon. Should the urge to unwind take hold, the state-of-the-art fitness centre and sauna promise rejuvenation, while the attentive staff remain on hand to ensure every aspect of your stay is seamless.
As night falls, the city lights up, and from your elevated vantage point at The Silo Hotel, you are afforded a front-row seat to the twinkling spectacle of Cape Town by night.

What we love about this stay
Request a room on the upper floors facing Table Mountain — the pillowed-glass windows distort the light in the most extraordinary way at golden hour, and it's a detail unique to this building's grain silo bones. Head to the rooftop pool around 5pm, when the glass walls catch the last sun and Robben Island sharpens against the horizon. For dinner, eat at the hotel at least once but book well ahead; the kitchen leans into Cape Malay spice work that's genuinely impressive, not just hotel-restaurant decent. Skip the V&A crowds below in the morning — walk Mouille Point instead, then return when the waterfront quiets after lunch. The bar at night, under those sculptural lights with the city sprawling beneath you, is where The Silo earns its reputation.

I consider myself lucky to have travelled extensively, but no matter what destinations I add to my list Cape Town remains top of the pile. Be it the scenery, or the range of Hospitality establishments, this city and its surrounding areas have so much to offer. Wherever you go Table Mountain towers above the skyline, which helps one's orientation, quite apart from its natural beauty. Whether I stay in a B&B, Guest House or hotel the choice is vast and the quality is invariable high. Prices have risen in recent years, but are still reasonable. From a gastronomic point of view, I found myself in 7th heaven. Excellent service, fresh produce and beautiful locations to choose from. Quite often, I travel just a few miles out of town and I find myself amongst picturesque vineyards and mountains. There, most vineyards don't just offer superbwines but good Restaurants with outdoor seating. I cannot wait to go back.

We visited Cape Town and the Garden Route because several friends strongly recommended it. And we had the greatest vacation ever. Of course, you must see the the ‘must-see’ and do the ‘must-do’ – it’s easy enough to get a list of these and fit it into your schedule and preferences. We spent 3 days in Cape Town, and then ventured out into the winelands of Stellenbosch & Franschhoek, before taking in the amazing Garden Route, a drive which is a feast for the senses and the spirit. But what made our trip memorable was the “experience”. We arranged a private tour through Wayne Milne, Director of Take 2 Tours. In addition to visiting the sights, we experienced many little joys along our 12-day journey. Wayne introduced to a winemaker off the main tourist circuit and introduced us to cafes, food stalls and home-cooked meals that a typical tourist would just drive through. We stayed at a real farm, and had the most wonderful home-cooked barbecue dinner, sitting around a long table with other guests, regaled by the stories of our hosts. Driving through the Overberg was visually stimulating and emotionally powerful. We spent a few days at Knysna, and just soaked in the local hospitaliyy and good food. We drove through Tsitsikamma National Park on our way to Scotia Safari while staying at Cosmos Cuisine. We had great food and wonderful wine everyday, usually at owner-run restaurants or home-style kitchens. We stayed at small inns or bed-and-breakfasts: beautiful, homey, welcoming, cozy and personal. It is one thing to be a tour guide. It is quite a different thing to be a friend and host. Wayne was the latter. He is clearly passionate about South Africa, and because of that, we have fallen in love with this beautiful country and its very warm people. South Africa isn’t just a beautiful place. It is a magical place to be experienced, to be immersed in. One must feel it, taste it and breathe it. We are most thankful to Wayne Milne and Take 2 Tours (www.take2tours.co.za) for arranging not just a tour, but an experience of South Africa up close and personal. This was our first visit to South Africa, but it felt like we were visiting old friends, rather than just tourists. My advice: don’t rush through South Africa and try to see everything in one trip. Take it slow, experience it. And come back for more. We are definitely coming back. Definitely!!!

Had a fantastic private tour with Luhambo Tours. We were picked up in Cape Town and then spent the day traveling down the peninsula going to Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point and to see the Penguin colony. Then we worked our way back up to the Constantia area and went to several wineries. Cedric was most excellent in providing information and most importantly spotting wild game. We were able to pull over to the side of the road often and take in the beautiful scenery and get a history of the area from Cedric. IT was casual, full of information and fun. Cedric is extremely knowledgeable about the area and provided great guidance to us about the wine region. Given his background previously operating safari's, finding game on the route was easy (I would even give him a call to get the low down on the best safari's to consider!). I highly recommend the Luhambo Tours.
