Our group accommodation, reserved exclusively for us, is situated just below Chapman’s Peak Drive and offers splendid mountain and ocean views — the perfect place to relax and socialise together after a day on the trails.

From this idyllic base, we will hike along rugged mountain ridges and dramatic coastlines, taking in sweeping ocean views and discovering some of the Cape’s most iconic sights.

There’s no shortage of trails to explore, from the cliffs above Chapman’s Peak to the legendary Table Mountain range. Beyond the trails, enjoy a scenic excursion to Cape Point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet, visit Boulders Beach to see its famous colony of African penguins, and go wine tasting in the surrounding valleys.

Back at our accommodation, meals are prepared in-house by a talented chef known for heartfelt, home-cooked dishes that showcase fresh, locally inspired flavours. Each meal is crafted with care and a touch of sophistication, celebrating South African ingredients and tradition.

Experience an unforgettable week of hiking and adventure in South Africa's Cape Peninsula!
