2 min read

Many think that Cape Town is only the ideal vacation destination in the summer months, but we’re here to prove you wrong! Cape Town is a brilliant place to visit all year around, with great activities during both the colder and warmer months. If you need some convincing, here are 5 reasons why you’ll want to visit and extend your stay in Cape Town this winter.

Affordable Accommodation

Winter is often the time for the best deals at hotels and Island Club is no different. The longer you stay with us, the bigger your savings! Head over to our Specials page for all the details. Save money on your stay and have more budget to spend on some of the best activities and attractions the Mother City has to offer.

Wine Tasting

If you are a wine lover, you know that Cape Town is famous for its wine regions, which stretch in all directions outside of Cape Town. There is no better time to go wine tasting than in winter. Visit one of the many wine farms in the area for a quick way to beat the cold and have a delicious lunch while enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Cape Winelands.

Mild Weather

Contrary to what many may think, Cape Town has a mild winter climate. Temperatures during the day hardly ever go below 10℃ and we never experience snow. This means that you can still enjoy many of the outdoor activities in town, like hiking and visiting nature reserves, and explore without fear of freezing.

Fewer Tourists

For those of us who aren’t ones for crowds, winter is the perfect time to visit popular attractions, book reservations at popular restaurants, and shop with little to no rush. This offers the ultimate opportunity for a relaxed exploration of the city.

Whale Watching

Winter is the best time for whale watching off the coast of Cape Town. Southern Right Whales migrate from the Antarctic to the warmer waters of South Africa to mate and give birth. You can see them from land or take a boat tour to get closer to these magnificent creatures. Some of the best spots are Llandudno and Hout Bay, the West Coast, the False Bay coastline, and Hermanus.

If you need any more convincing, why not reach out to our friendly team who will be more than happy to answer all your questions. Be sure to warm up this winter with us at Island Club Hotel and Apartments!
