Cape Town holiday recommendations?

Early morning Hike lions head in nice weather. If you're not fit, just go up as fast as you feel comfortable. Go for brunch in kloof Street after.

If you can run a flat 5km without stopping, it should take you less than an hour to the top of lions head. Take a jacket in a bag if it's windy.
 
2 Ocean's Aquarium if you have not been yet.
Lower Deck Bistro at The Blue Peter Hotel in Blouberg - especially fun to sit on the grass and watch the sea while you eat pizza.
The Milnerton Flea market

@Foxhound5366 if you have the budget consider going out on a yacht for the day.

Preferably the type of experience with food and drinks, but there are also the bigger boat options that are cheaper.

Kids will love it.

Headed out of CPT today, so no more adventures (apart from “drop car off at Avis” rofl).

Blew my budget with a fancy meal at La Colombe, which was super-memorable as well, but will definitely want to do a yacht experience next time. Also didn’t get to visit Ons Huisie this time around, but I don’t think any Cape Town holiday can include every option. Settled down into a “just enjoy it” mentality.

I’m in Cape Town for holiday with my family and looking for family-friendly suggestions of unmissable experiences … whether food or entertainment.

I’d love a suggestion for the best fish and chips experience (fresh-caught fish and nothing as upmarket as Cape Town Fish Market - I’d rather be right next to the sea).

TIA :)

A bit of a drive, but go see Cape point and take the funicular at least one way. Beware the winds at the lighthouse... can be hairy, but it's an experience. Take the whole day and be prepared for a bit of driving around Cape point nature reserve. Take IDs for everyone to get locals rates.

Take a trip to Vergelegen wine estate near Somerset West - do a wine tasting and snack platter. Be prepared to spend a couple of grand if you do that, but the walk around the estate is stunning.

Their famous desert wine and chocolates are amazing.

Yes to this. Do what you can and enjoy it! Overdo it and you return wiped out and in need of a real holiday lol.
 
Some other recommendations

Must try Cape side restaurants

So bit the bullet and got flights down to the Cape in early April. Haven't traveled in peak times in a while but need a holiday so is what it is. We starting in Cape Town ending in Stellies before flying out. As much as I wanna do Babel again it's fully booked (not surprised), done Le Petit...

So that’s two votes for these people, thanks! I like that Simon’s Town is the location of Boulders Beach (penguins!!!), so I can tick that off the list at the same time.

if you like golf.
Simonstown has nice par 66 golf course. Not bad prices and usually quiet. Clovelly golf course is awesome, but pricey.
