Betz 1 : May 19-27th - Betz Wine Safari 2024

Cape Cadogan Boutique Hotel offers a stylish city stay with all the special touches. At Cape Cadogan, you have the best of both worlds: a quiet, beautifully elegant hideaway with the vibrant neighbourhood of Kloof Street on your doorstep. This historic building (with National Monument status) dating back to the early 1800s, has undergone an extensive refurbishment in 2022. She is elegantly styled in beautiful emerald greens, classic black and white, and touches of gold. This sophisticated style brings her firmly into the 21st century, without losing any of her charm. Each of her 19 rooms are individually designed around her historic uniqueness. Relaxed guest areas with two pools for the warmer days. Our focus on wellness includes calming therapies at our onsite spa, and our hotel gym means it is easy to keep up a training routine. We even have our own restaurant, Upper Union.

If you would like to enjoy a few days in Cape Town before the core trip begins in the Cape Winelands please let us know and we will forward you personalized itinerary to review.

La Cotte Farm is uniquely situated a stone’s throw from the charming village of Franschhoek. It offers close proximity to the fun and bustle of the main street with all the quiet, privacy and rural charm of a working wine farm.

Surrounded by lush vineyards, glorious mountains and unsurpassed views in all directions, the farm offers a range of accommodation options.

There won’t be any arguments about who should get the room with the view at La Cotte House. Wherever you choose to lay your suitcase, you’ll enjoy its 360-degree views of Franschhoek’s vineyard-studded valley and mountains.

It’s not until you’re relaxing al fresco on the terraces of either the Main House (sleeps 10), Pool House (daybed), or the Lake Cottage (sleeps 4), gazing out over your very own lakeside version of one of Monet’s famous ‘Water Lilies’ paintings, that you’ll fully appreciate the true magic of this unique setting. In prime position, deceptively far from distractions, on one of the oldest Huguenot estates in Franschhoek, (granted in 1694) this house was built for ultimate privacy. Surrounded by indigenous gardens and natural beauty as far as the eye can see, you’re actually only a short walk from the town hidden away below. It is a fully serviced house, booked on a self-catering basis or a private chef can be arranged at an additional cost.

Located on the forest edge of one of Franschhoek’s oldest farms, these lavishly simple cottages offer incredible views of the forest, vineyards and valleys. Booked together, they are the ideal setting for large family gatherings and celebrations, or individually for quiet getaways.
The row of deceptively rustic, terraced cottages is made up of five mezzanine cottages, two more spacious two-bedroom cottages and an intimate ‘Sunset’ cottage with its own plunge pool. All cottages have sun-drenched patios, open-plan living, dining and kitchen areas, that overlook an immense swimming pool with a vine-covered, pool-side pavilion. Beautifully decorated with a collection of watercolours, oil paintings, colourful Indian textiles and antique linen cushions, each cottage has its own unique sense of life, adventure and tranquillity.

Molori is a beautiful property that is one of South Africa's most exclusive and luxurious safari lodges. We will have exclusive use of the entire lodge. Situated in the Madikwe Game reserve its location allows for views over the watering hole as well as some of the park. The game rangers and staff are all exceptional and we ensure you that this will be a safari lodge to remember.

About Madikwe Game Reserve:

Bordering Botswana in South Africa’s North West Province, the lesser-known Madikwe Game Reserve is the fifth largest reserve in South Africa. It is home to a wild dog reserve, abundant wildlife including the world-renowned Big Five and over 300 bird species such as vulture, ostrich and the large kori bustard. The landscape is characterized by vast grasslands, woodlands, and the rugged Tshwene Tshwene hills sheltering a host of wildlife. Visitors can look forward to sunset drinks overlooking the Madikwe Dam, ample game viewing opportunities and a variety of accommodation options ranging from community lodges to luxury safari lodges in a malaria-free zone.

Most of the International flights depart Johannesburg in the early evening. We will arrive back from Molori and be transferred to Johannesburg International airport by 3pm in time to check in for your international flight.

Please Note: If you would like to extend your stay in Southern Africa and visit Victoria Falls and or Botswana, please let us know as we are a fully licensed Tour Operator who can assist you with these arrangements.
