During your stay in Cape Town, you will enjoy the Cape Malay cuisine in a very special way. Among other things, you will take part in a cooking class in the colourful Bo-Kaap. You will learn how to mix a masala and how to prepare chicken curry, rootis, samoosas and daaltijes. The course ends with a wonderful 2-course menu.
Those who have got a taste for this hearty lunch can optionally enjoy a 3-course menu of Cape Malay cuisine in the evening at the Three Boutique accommodation. As another optional alternative, the Aubergine Restaurant is nearby. Here you can test what a German star chef can do in Cape Town!
The following day, you will go on a guided walking tour through town. Discover the historical food culture in De Waterkant, Greenpoint, Seapoint, and the Waterfront: a mosaic of international influence.
Lastly, Cape Town’s markets are worth a visit! Just talk to us, and we’ll recommend our favourite markets in the Cape metropolis.
The Three Boutique Hotel awaits you with a pool and shaded patio. From the roof terrace, you can enjoy the panoramic view of Table Mountain as well as the mountains Devil’s Peak, Lions Head, and Signal Hill. The rooms are elegant and modern furnished.

The next stop of your trip to Cape Town and the surrounding area is the small coastal town of Hermanus on the so-called Whale Coast. There you will visit the Hemel en Aarde Valley on a privately guided tour. Directly translated from Afrikaans, this means “Heaven and Earth” and, for those who live there, the valley is often described as “heaven on earth”. Luckily you are on a guided tour from winery to winery. So you do not have to spit out the wine and may enjoy the included tastings. Cheers! But there is yet more to come!
South Africans love their meat. One of the popular leisure activities is to “braai”. Of course, the local version of barbecuing should not be missed and is included as a traditional dinner for you. Try the South African version of the bratwurst, the ‘Boerewors’, game meat (subject to availability), steak, mealiepap, sosaties and much more.
Auberge Burgundy is a charming Provencal-style boutique hotel, centrally located on Hermanus’ seafront, overlooking the picturesque Old Port and the spectacular Walker Bay, known for its natural beauty and whale watching.
