It's autumn in South Africa, and the days are filled with brilliant sunshine. The off-season is a great time to visit Cape Town for whale-watching and hiking in beautiful surroundings: with Table Mountain National Park on one side and the Atlantic on the other. Indeed, the Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa has one of the most majestic settings on earth. The award-winning hotel has devised a special seasonal package for guests to discover the handful of "must-see" attractions in Cape Town, popularly referred to as "The Big 5". Here's what's included in the Cape Town Big Five package:

* Three nights in the luxury accommodation of your choice

* Daily Azure Breakfast for two

* A complimentary drink on arrival

* Plus one choice from this list of Big 5 half day tours, each for two people: Transfer to the Victoria & Alfred waterfront, followed by a trip to Robben Island; Tickets to ride the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, with a Fynbos Picnic and all transfers; Tour of Stellenbosch Winelands to see some of the country’s most highly regarded vineyards; Tour of mountainous Cape Point with spectacular ocean views on all sides; Tour of Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.

Or, instead of a half day tour, you can take a spectacular helicopter flip to the Victoria & Alfred waterfront. Priced from R3133 per room per night (incl. VAT) based on two adults sharing a room. Minimum three-night stay applies. Additional nights are priced at the Best Available Rate. This offer is valid until December 19, 2011.
