Cape Town, South Africa
Your private Compass Odyssey guide, Garth greets you upon your flight arrival and transfers you to your accommodation in the vibrant inner-city neighbourhood of Gardens. Depending on your arrival time, Garth will be most happy to commence your exploration straight away should you wish.
Within a stone’s throw of the centre of Cape Town, Gardens is a chic inner-city district and one of the oldest parts of the city. Staying here means you’re just outside the hustle and bustle of the city with Table Mountain, at whose foot the district lies, looming like a welcome armchair. Houses here have an air of the colonial about them and many are authentic mansions, offering large high-ceilinged rooms with shiny wooden floors. Here you'll also find vibrant and trendy Kloof Street and its southern extension, Long Street. All along here you’ll find restaurants, coffee shops and bistros along with a wide variety of shops and markets peddling creative and authentic wares.
