Start with a morning walk or run on the promenade followed by a cold water ocean tidal pool dip. A delicious brunch at all-time favourite La Perla – the fantastic seafront restaurant, and end the afternoon sunbathing at Saunders’ Rock Beach session.

A perfect November day can start with a mesmerizing stroll through the Glass Museum at Glenelly Wine Estate, then indulge in the nostalgia of catching a movie at the Labia Theatre and end off with a cablecar ride up Table Mountain watching the sun set over the city.

Begin the day with a delicious breakfast at Oranjezicht Market, then head out on a thrilling jetski ride at Oceana Boat Club (which offers tranquil kayaking trips too). Afterward, enjoy pizza and cocktails at Grand Beach Cafe before heading out on a scenic drive along the Atlantic Seaboard – leisurely beach walks, sunbathing, and sunsets along the trendy spots on the Camps Bay strip.

We recommend starting the day early and enjoying a drive along the False Bay coast making a midway stop at Millers’s Point to your dip in the waters. They then head to Kalky’s for a delightful lunch, followed by a refreshing afternoon swim at Dalebrook Tidal Pool.

Another one of our favourite activities is heading out to the Winelands and starting the day with a fabulous brunch, followed by a wine tasting and a late afternoon picnic at Vergelegen Wine Estate. It’s the perfect way to enjoy the beautiful spring weather and indulge in the region’s finest culinary and wine offerings.

Take advantage of the beautiful spring weather, and explore the city on a Red Bus City Tour while creating precious memories with family and friends. As the sun sets, gather the clan and enjoy a wonderful braai.

Cruise down the scenic coastal road, indulging in a refreshing coffee break at Chapman Peak’s kiosk, before stopping for lunch at Massimo’s in Hout Bay. Returning via the charming towns of Kalk Bay and Glencairn is an essential part of a perfect November day – a cherished activity free from bustling crowds.

Another fabulous November day in Cape Town can include wine tasting at Peter Falke Wines, where you can relax on the lawn and soak up the sun and head out on a strawberry picking adventure. We recommend making a refreshing strawberry daiquiri when back at home 😉
