| Anyone for a Peninsula escape? |
|
|
|
Gone are the days when you have to travel forever and a day for your weekend getaway! Why? Because we've just realised that there is plenty in the way of city escape right on our very own Cape Town doorstep. And we're not talking B&Bs called Parowdise and other facebrick horrors on the far side of the boerewors curtain. We're talking prime getaways dotted up and down the stunning Peninsula coastline, places you and your fellow Capetonians would sell their mother for. It's early days, so we dont have much listed yet. But watch this space, over the coming months some seriously good self-catering Cape Peninsula gems are heading your way.

Sitting up on the mountain slopes above Scarborough, and circled by fynbos La Playa fits the quintessential relaxed house by the sea mould. The architecture is Australian (so the owner tells us) and the decor is organic and befitting of a beach ho...
