Cape Town just got closer this summer.

With increased international flight capacity into Cape Town for the 2026/27 season and expanded services from airlines such as Virgin Atlantic, travelling to South Africa’s most iconic coastal city is becoming easier and more accessible during peak holiday months.

That means more opportunities to turn long-haul travel into a simple escape, from city skylines to mountain silence in under a day.

Book your summer stay at Houtkapperspoort Mountain Cottages .

For decades, travellers have driven over Constantia Nek into Hout Bay, unaware of the hidden retreat tucked into the mountains just beyond the pass.

Here, uniquely styled stone and timber cottages sit surrounded by indigenous flora and fauna, with uninterrupted views across the valley. Each space is designed for comfort, privacy, and a slower rhythm of living, where mornings feel unhurried and evenings stretch into stillness.

This is Cape Town, away from the noise.
