For a more cultured experience, the heart of Cape Town is close at hand (28-minute drive). Dive into the immersive galleries and museums. Or explore the lively V&A Waterfront (31-minute drive).
Take a scenic drive through the nature reserve to the Cape Town Ostrich Ranch (26-minute drive), where the kids can see and interact with these large and unique birds.
And for a full day of water-based fun, the Milnerton Waterpark (10-minute drive) is a fantastic family water park full of pools and slides.
