Silversands beach
It doesn’t have to cost a small fortune to take the family to see Cape Town and surrounding areas. Cape Active (www.capeactive.com)
Cape Active’s approach is charming and individual and offers unbeatable value for money for families. At ₤520 per person, the Cape Active Special includes: 7 nights B&B in a guesthouse by the beach, return airport transfer and five exciting trips and activities: Cape Town /Table Mountain, Stellenbosch winelands, a boat trip to Seal Island, a visit to a penguin colony and an exciting overnight safari camp in a lion park.
The Western Cape is a wonderful destination for a family holiday and some winter sun, and with only one hour time difference and being completely malaria free it is the ideal place to take children on their first trip to South Africa.
Cape Active offers an excellent way to see the hidden delights of the Western Cape and tour options are enticing and well planned. Cape Town, only an hour from Betty’s Bay, is one of the most cosmopolitan and beautiful cities in the world, with its magnificent Table Mountain, excellent shopping and restaurants. The Winelands are also within easy reach and a must-see for the stunning scenery, historic towns, wonderful Cape-Dutch architecture and world-renowned vineyards. There is wildlife abound - take the children whale watching, see seals or penguins, camp overnight in a lion park and listen to the roaring nightlife or explore the stunning landscape of the Kogelberg Biosphere, an eco-rich environment and a UNESCO natural world heritage site with hiking tours, mountain biking or kayaking, all within the immediate vicinity of Betty’s Bay. There is so much for all the family to do and a favourable exchange rate will help parents keep their cash firmly in their pockets all week. Energetic teenagers may also be interested in action packed adventures in Betty’s Bay, which incorporates surfing or kite-surfing on one of the wonderful deserted beaches or sand-boarding on its magnificent mountain-sized sand dunes.
Cape Active has a fully equipped Pilates studio attached to the guesthouse and parents looking to get involved in health and fitness can participate in daily Pilates sessions. For some added romance a stress-relieving jaccuzzi-spa awaits afterwards with unforgettable views of the sea and the sunset.
Cape Town can be reached from the UK, and British Airways, Virgin Atlantic and South African Airways operate direct flights from Heathrow. A number of other airlines including Emirates offer more affordable, but not direct, flight options.
