Food Scene
Hudsons quite simply serves the best burgers and milkshakes in town! If you're a chillis fan, their Diso fries will also add some zing to your life. Absolutely LOVE going here every time we visit the apartment, and it's in walking distance.

Though I have not been here in a few years, what I do know it that I have never forgotten the experience. The food was great. Eating with our hands was fun and all in all it was a night to remember. Something different from the usual. Note - bookings are essential and I am not sure if they serve liquor. They didn't when we last went.

This is a bar, but they do have a restaurant as well, where there is a limited menu to choose from. Very quirky, fun and off the wall!

Our 9 year old daughter managed to do this hike in under 2 hours to the top of Table Mountain. We then caught the cable car down. Most experienced hikers agree that it is much harder coming down than going up, so be careful. Take lots of water, sunscreen and good walking or hiking shoes. It was by far one of the highlights of our December holidays. Can get busy. Don't leave too late!! It gets unbelievably hot.

Essentials
I tend to buy all non-perishables from Checkers. You can also get a good selection of wine from here.

Woolworths is great for fresh fruit and vegetables, yoghurts, meats. It is a one stop shop for all your needs, but is more upper-market (hence the prices you pay).

The V & A Waterfront is fantastic on all fronts. For day to day shopping (Pick n Pay, Woolworths) to clothes shopping etc. All major brands in one place. Set aside loads of time!

Lie on the beach and soak up some sun. You can rent an umbrella and chairs at a nominal fee. Once you've had enough, you can grab a bite to eat at one of the many places to choose from. Col' Caccios for a pizza, Mantra Cafe, Blues Cafe - all great!

Stunning, protected beach. The difference between Camps Bay and Clifton is that Camps Bay has access to shops and restaurants pretty easily, whereas Clifton doesn't.
