Local attractions include:
The most difficult aspect of your stay at Mountain Vista will be deciding what to do first. It is an adrenalin junkie's playground, whether it’s kite-surfing at Blouberg beach, rock climbing in Franschoek, shark diving in Hout Bay or skydiving at the drop zone 10 minutes up the road. You will be spoilt for choice.


More leisurely activities include first class game fishing out of Cape Town harbour, walks around Table Mountain, visit to the SANCOB penguin sanctuary at the end of the road or a tour of the world famous Wine routes of Franschoek and Stellenbosch which are 10 or 20 minutes from your door.
