The Diamond Shoppe
Jewelry store
👍👍 I went to The Diamond Shoppe in 2018 to design a ring for my fiancé. After visiting various jewelers all over Cape Town, I can say without any doubt they are the best in all of Cape Town. Their shop is classy with stunning views, their service is superb, and their prices are unbeatable. Cara, one of...

LION’S HEAD CAPE TOWN
Hiking area
👍👍 Love this trail. Did it a couple of times now and really enjoy hiking up especially the upper part where you rather "climb". Running down is super fun so with a normal fitness it takes 45min up and running down half the time. You can buy some water/drinks at the truck parked on the bottom in the par...

👍👍 Juma told us to bring cameras and lots of love.. We had a bespoke tour of Khayelitsha and enjoyed a true local experience. I can’t recommend Juma’s tours highly enough. We left with our camera, hearts & tummies full! We’re still buzzing from our incredible experience! Will definitely be back! Xx

Hely-Hutchinson Reservoir (1898)
Tourist attraction
👍👍 An absolute gem of a place. This should beTHE hiking spot for locals and tourists alike. The hike from skeleton gorge is not the easiest but should be fine for MOST hikers. The hike from the other side (Bakhoven/Pipe Track) might be a bit more of an adventure for the seasoned hiker. Either way you g...

Gifkommetjie
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Stunning place as are all places inside Cape Point Nature reserve. There are few trails starting and ending at this point. I recommend the circular trail which goes via the shipwreck. Check satellite view. The path is clearly visible. It takes you to the shipwreck of Phyllisia, a trawler which wreck...

Old Cableway Station
Tourist attraction
👍👍 Sadly, very few photos here are of the correct spot. This is NOT the Table Mountain cableway that is in the operation, but rather a spot of an old station used to winch up materials and supplies to build the reservoirs on the mountain. Have a closer look at the slab of rock. One can see the rusty re...
