Just a little heads up! ✈

I'll be on my own holiday from next Monday (25th August), for two weeks - we'll be off for a few days before heading to Dublin and then exploring Türkiye for a well-deserved break! ☀

If you have a holiday you'd like me to look at, please contact me this week so I can look into it before I go.

For customers with quotes already, if you'd like to get your trip booked before my holiday, please get in touch by Thursday 21st so I have plenty of time to get things booked for you.

Any enquiries I receive while I'm away I will look at when I get back, unless it's urgent and then I'll pass it over to my colleague! 😊

CAPE TOWN, THE WINELANDS AND MAURITIUS
13 NIGHTS FROM £3,829 PER PERSON

INCLUDES CAPE TOWN HELICOPTER TOUR AND WINE TRAM DAY PASS

Swap the everyday for an adventure that soars, sips and sands its way across two dazzling destinations – South Africa and Mauritius – with unmissable experiences already included.

First stop, Cape Town. This is a city where the mountains meet the ocean and every street hums with history, culture and colour. Climb Table Mountain, chill with the penguins at Boulders Beach, or ferry out to Robben Island for a moving insight into South Africa’s past. And because we like to start things with a bang, you’ll be whisked off on a 24-minute Three Bays Helicopter Tour.

Next, we slow the pace in South Africa’s wine heartland – Franschhoek. Think rolling vineyards, exquisite food and friendly faces who are just as skilled at pouring a Pinotage as they are at slicing a cork with a sword.

Finally, it’s time to kick off your shoes and sink into island life with six nights at Preskil Island Resort in Mauritius. Fresh from a stylish transformation, it still boasts its jaw-dropping private-peninsula setting, with views over Ile aux Aigrettes, Lion Mountain and the turquoise waters of Blue Bay Marine Park. Thatched-roof charm meets contemporary cool here, with restaurants, bars, a spa and boutique all scattered among the lush grounds. It’s the perfect finale – just you, the sun, and a blissfully unhurried rhythm.

4nts at Garden Court Victoria Junction Cape Town in a Standard Room - Bed & Breakfast
3nts at Le Franschhoek Hotel in a Classic Room - Bed & Breakfast
