 STUNNING SOUTH AFRICA – 5 nights on the Coast, 5 Nights Near the Cape

Take a new adventure.  Spend 3 nights at the The Cellars-Hohenort, which rests on the breathtaking slopes of Table Mountain. Located in Constantia, Cape Town, it shares its home with some of South Africa's most historically significant wine estates.  This unforgettable property boasts 52 individually decorated rooms and suites, all situated in an awe-inspiring natural setting. Set on nine expansive acres of world-renowned gardens, this historic and beautiful country escape offers guests far more than just incomparable scenery.  You’ll be able to sample the incredible award-winning culinary offering each day at breakfast and each evening as you retire as this incredible stay includes both.   

 Your next stop near the Cape will be a 3 day/2 night visit to the world renowned Stellenbosch Wine District. You will be hosted by Bruce Jack, winemaker of Flagstone Winery. Flagstone is one of South Africa’s most innovative wineries, set in an ex-dynamite factory in an industrial estate in Somerset West.  Inside this historical building, which dates back to 1901, you may  immediately notice the wineries signature decoration - coloured lighting tubes spelling out the words ‘seduce’, ‘succumb’, ‘sense’, ‘swirl’ and ‘serenade’.   It’s a creative sort of environment that fits with Flagstone’s eclectic portfolio.   With its modern, high quality wines and innovative approach, Flagstone has become one of the most visible and celebrated wineries in South Africa.   The wines of Flagstone wine are handcrafted, and each one has its own unique story, with evocative tales ranging from myths of flying dragons to an allegory of a wild card – the dark horse.   On this exploration, you’ll be able to see the marriage of nature and human imagination that creates these fabulous and captivating wines. In addition to Flagstone, tours and tastings at other wineries in the region. The lucky winners will be guests of Flagstone at…??

 When you’re ready for the next adventure, drive on to Discover Villa Marine.  This elegant B&B on Pringle Bay, a quiet coastal village in the heart of a World Nature preserve is less than an hour from Cape Town.  Spend five nights and experience the warm hospitality at this 6 room Luxury Inn, high above the seas edge with magnificent views.  Take in a daily breakfast on your private deck, and soak in the morning rays as you look out over the rocky bay on the shoreline of this quaint town.
