10 Day Cape & Champagne Honeymoon

Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, an African Sky Safaris & Tours representative will meet you in the arrivals hall and accompany you to your transfer vehicle. From here, you travel into the city and down to the vibrant V&A Waterfront, where you are assisted with check-in at The Commodore. This bustling harbor district, framed by the dramatic backdrop of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, offers an immediate sense of place and a relaxed, holiday atmosphere that is ideal for the start of your honeymoon.

During your stay on the Waterfront, you can enjoy quiet moments together in your room, explore the harbor on foot, ...or browse over 450 retail outlets at the V&A Waterfront, from local design and curios to fashion and jewellery. A wide variety of restaurants and cafés serve everything from fresh seafood to contemporary South African cuisine. In your free time, you may also visit nearby attractions such as Table Mountain, Clifton and Camps Bay beaches, or the Two Oceans Aquarium, all within an easy drive or short ride from the hotel.

Note

Guests spend four nights at The Commodore, with breakfast included daily.

Private Cape Peninsula Tour

Please communicate with us before arrival which day you would like to enjoy a private day trip around the Cape Peninsula. On the selected morning, an African Sky guide will meet you at 8 am in the hotel lobby for a full-day tour to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point, with a visit to Boulders Beach to view the African penguin colony. You will return to the hotel between 4 and 5 pm.

After a relaxed breakfast at the Waterfront, you are met at 10 am for a scenic coastal drive into South Africa’s Overberg region and the seaside town of Hermanus. The route hugs stretches of shoreline and mountain passes, with a few short stops to admire viewpoints and take photographs. From June to November, these coastal waters are visited by southern right whales that come close inshore, making Hermanus one of the world’s best destinations for land-based whale watching.

On arrival around lunchtime, you are assisted with check-in at Harbour House, a centrally located property within easy walking distance of the Cliff Path, restaurants, and small shops. During your stay, you can enjoy leisurely walks along the cliffs in search of dolphins, seals, and, in season, whales. Optional activities include a dedicated whale-watching cruise, wine tasting in the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, or relaxing on the Blue Flag Grotto Beach. A little further afield, you may hike in the Fernkloof Nature Reserve and enjoy sweeping views over the bay.

Note

Guests spend three nights at Harbour House, with breakfast included daily.

Guests are met at 10 am for a leisurely drive through South Africa’s apple-growing region en route to the Cape Winelands and the village of Franschhoek. The journey skirts the shore of Theewaterskloof Dam before ascending the impressive Franschhoek Pass, offering expansive views over vineyards, orchards, and rugged peaks. A few short stops are made along the way to appreciate the landscape and capture photographs before descending into Franschhoek, widely known as the food and wine capital of South Africa.

Your accommodation at Maison Chablis is centrally located, placing you within a short walk of shops, restaurants, the Huguenot Memorial, and the Franschhoek Wine Tram terminal. During your stay, you can spend time sampling local wines, enjoying fine dining, or simply strolling through the village. Nearby activities include hiking trails, horseback riding, spa treatments, and additional wine tastings at estates scattered throughout the valley. The setting of vineyards against towering mountains creates a romantic, intimate atmosphere ideal for the final days of your honeymoon.

Note

Guests spend two nights at Maison Chablis, with breakfast included daily.

Wine Tram

Tickets for the Franschhoek Wine Tram are included on one day of your stay. This hop-on, hop-off service is a relaxed way to visit several wine estates in the valley. Maison Chablis is within a comfortable walking distance of the Franschhoek terminal.

After enjoying a final peaceful morning in the Winelands and breakfast at Maison Chablis, you will be met at around 10 am for your transfer to Cape Town International Airport. The route travels via Stellenbosch and Somerset West, offering last views of manicured vineyards, historic estates, and the rugged peaks of the Cape Fold Mountains that shelter the valleys below.

Depending on your onward travel arrangements, you will be dropped at the departures level at Cape Town International, with ample time to check in for your flight. If you prefer, arrangements can be made for a drop-off at another address in or around Cape Town, such as a city hotel or private residence, bringing your Cape & Champagne honeymoon to a relaxed and memorable close.
