Mukda Thai Spa

Reviewed By Albert S - Aberdeenshire, United Kingdom

We had passed the Mukda Thai Spa several times during this visit to Gordon's Bay, one day we decided to visit as we felt like some relaxation. The gate man was very helpful and encouraged us to have our treat that day. As we entered we were welcomed as if we were royalty, the reception staff were so very helpful as we decided to have a reflexology session. This was so very relaxing as our feet was worked on we both nodded off for a wee spell.
At the conclusion we were advised that we would benefit from a further visit for a full herbal and hot oil massage.
Due to the relaxing peaceful setting and superior treatment we had just enjoyed we decided to book for a further session.
Our second visit was every bit as enjoyable as the first and we were treated equally as well as the first time. It is a truly relaxing experience and I would advise any one needing / wanting some TLC to visit the Mukda Thai Spa

I visited Vergelegen for a tasting and was very impressed! The wine tasting was very informative and the service was great! The Gardens are absolutely beautiful and definitely worth a visit - this is most certainly a farm you could spend an entire day at! Cannot think of a better way to spend a Sunday!

Strand Beach

Reviewed By Kashi P - Greater Johannesburg, South Africa

Clean beach with soft white sand. Water is much warmer than other parts of the Cape as the water is a mix of the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Better for padlersz swimmers and body boarders. Not the best for surfers. Better for beginner surfers.

Rentabicycle is very reliable service of high quality. Personnel was trustworthy and he even refunded my costs for the locker that I had to buy in addition. In five days I've made 400 km around Cape Town with no problems. This way of travelling around is the best way to explore the Cape Peninsula.

Last week we spent a few hours visiting this magnificent estate. The Gardens were recently re-landscaped. They are beautiful. Occasional sculptures are strategically placed. The art galleries offer beautiful work. We have previously visited the coffee shop & restaurant. This time we popped in for a wine tasting. The tasting was professionally conducted & the wines outstanding.

Crystal Pools Waterfall Hike

Reviewed By connecteddale - Cape Town Central, South Africa

Well marked trail, fantastic pools to swim in and many nooks and crannies to find a private picnic spot. Watch out on the way down, there are many paths that lead straight over a cliff and at places they are quite worn. Ample parking at start - not sure about security of cars - I wouldn't leave anything valuable inside.
