Local attractions
The most
difficult aspect of your stay at Mountain
Vista will be deciding what to do first.
It is an adrenalin junkie's playground,
whether it’s kite-surfing at Blouberg
beach, rock climbing in Franschoek, shark
diving in Hout Bay or skydiving at the drop
zone 10 minutes up the road. You will be
spoilt for choice.
More leisurely
activities include first class game fishing
out of Cape Town harbour, walks around Table
Mountain, visit to the SANCOB penguin sanctuary
at the end of the road or a tour of the
world famous Wine routes of Franschoek and
Stellenbosch which are 10 or 20 minutes
from your door.

Golf
The surrounding area is peppered with good
quality pay and play courses to suit all
abilities. Challenging links courses down
towards Cape Point will test all players
with the more sheltered courses of Milnerton
and Atlantic Beach providing a less daunting
test. Golf courses are all of a very high
standard.
Skiing
Cape Town is not famous for its snow but
the Milnerton Aquatic Club is a 2 minute
drive from Mountain Vista which has excellent
water-skiing, sailing and wind-surfing facilities,
linked by an extremely friendly atmosphere.
Travel
Car hire in Cape Town in definitely recommended.
There are a few private taxi companies springing
up if you would be prefer to be driven and
a wide range of both private and public
tours taking in the Wine route and Cape
Town harbour area. Public transport is poor
and not recommended.
