10 Nightlife in Western Cape That You Shouldn't Miss

September 28, 2021 Madelene Haan

South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

Fringe Experiences

I have been frequenting the lesser known bars and restaurants of Cape town for many years. I love to socialise and meet people and would love to show visitors the interesting places away from the usual tourist areas. I will show the you some of the inner city's best kept secrets in a big night out. And if you can't remember much of the later stages, there will be photos to refresh your memory!

My wife found these reasonable priced tickets for a pre Valentine celebration play. It was a very casual evening. It was not well attended but we really had a good time. Will recommend for a budget evening of good value entertainment

Escape the hustle and bustle of city life, by taking a drive out to Noordhoek village. The coffee shops, quaint restaurants, ice cream shops, kids play areas, and the general life that makes up Noordhoek living will enchant you. Locals come for a coffee on horseback, or barefoot, or with a pack of dogs and all spill into the street as they chat away. Such a great variety of food and best of all the beach is a few km's away.

Reviewed By Byron31 - Dublin, Ireland

Having tasted Brampton wine earlier on our trip, we made a beeline here for lunch on our arrival in town. The service is excellent, and very friendly. The food was that good, we came back again for lunch the next day. The highlight was the wine - perfectly chilled sauvignon blanc. And all at astounding value - the best value lunch we had on our whole trip. Majorly recommended!

The Leopard Bar

Reviewed By julianp623

A friend told us to visit the hotel and the leopard bar to come and watch the sunset and wow was he right. The outside terrace is the place to watch a daily treat of the sun going down. Truly amazing. The bar itself is brilliant, loads of staff catering for your alcoholic needs. Very friendly despite the posh surrounding and as the RAND is cheap the the mighty pound it’s very reasonable too. Definitely recommend a visit, we also had tea at the grill room (see separate review) again very good and well priced.
