The Vineyard Hotel Shuttles

Placed at the heart of Cape Town’s quiet Newlands neighborhood, The Vineyard is a resort-style hotel offering a quiet jungle backdrop. Home to a spacious garden interconnected with the flow of the Liesbeek River, the eco-themed stay is especially popular with those looking to stay close to Table Mountain National Park. Enjoy views of the garden from breezy balconies, choosing between modern studios for simple layouts or cottage-inspired suites that add extra rooms and a rustic feel that perfectly matches the rural outskirts. General perks of the facility include a creative indoor-outdoor pool, a few restaurants and a large business center with the option of paid Wi-Fi. Shuttles to Cape Town International Airport are also offered, while general transfers can be done through the nearby Newlands Train Station on Letterstedt Road. Other options include private rides such as sedan, SUVs and vans, or meet-and-greet services such as stretched limousines and taxis.

Have fun with the natural side of Cape Town the moment you wake up, heading west on Paradise Road for easy access to the Newlands Forest, a national park home to massive trees, hidden waterfalls and moderately difficult uphill trails. These trails connect to various other local landmarks like the historic Maclear’s Beacon as well as exotic flora nestled along the hilly paths of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden. For something more indoor, kick back with an afternoon of shopping at Cavendish Square, a nearby shopping mall home to an array of cafes, name-brand shops and local handicrafts. Continue south on the adjacent Main Road to reach Ardene Gardens down the street, a popular urban arboretum that provides the perfect balance between city and country. At the end of the evening, find dinner somewhere close to the hotel, popular options being western-friendly grub from Hudson's, The Burger Joint and hearty steaks at Barristers Grill & Cafe.
