Clay Cafe

Tucked into the valley of Hout Bay, a visit to this new establishment makes for an inspirational day filled with creativity and recreation, for all ages! First, you choose a clay pottery piece, and then sift through a wide selection of colorful paints and tools to create crockery that is both personal and completely unique. Spend a leisurely few hours painting in a relaxed environment whilst you enjoy one of their many farm style breakfasts or lunches.  Booking is essential and costs may vary.

Hot air balloon over the cape Wine lands

Regular, boring transport not your style? Take it up a notch and hop onto a hot air balloon with Winelands Ballooning.  Winelands Ballooning operates between 20 November and 2 May each year.
Only one flight is scheduled per day, with four people permitted per flight. We recommend the best time to balloon is March, since the weather conditions in are generally quite stable during this time.
