How much will it cost to travel to Cape Town?

As a guide, expect flights to range from £700-900 pp return from Scotland. There are no direct flights so you'll have 1 stop in London (Virgin or British Airways), Amsterdam (KLM) or Dubai (Emirates) we recommend you book direct with the airline. Flights won't be able to be booked until mid Dec 2024. Standard hotels, in general, are on par with what you'd pay in the UK. However, we would recommend looking at apartments & villas instead and sharing the accommodation costs if you are travelling with a few other couples. I have made a list on Air BnB of places that are reasonably priced & in good location which I can share with you. Best sites - airbnb.co.uk or apartments / hotels on booking.co.uk When you arrive, activities, food, alcohol and travel are much more affordable than in the UK. A pint is £1.40 and a glass of wine >£2 and fillet steak £12 for a rough guide. This will mean your spending money will be a lot lower than a standard European holiday. For more details on travel and accommodation please have a look at the travel tab on this website.

What will the weather be like in November?

It is the start of the summer in South Africa with mostly sunshine and temperatures ranging from 20-25 degrees on average. You may need a light jacket for the evening.

Where are the ceremony and reception be taking place?

We are getting married and having the reception at the same venue - Sandstone House. The address is Green Valley Rd, Franschhoek, 7690, South Africa Franschhoek is located about an hour inland of Cape Town in the famous wineland region. We will be travelling to Franschhoek on the Monday morning before the wedding and we'll be hosting an informal dinner & drinks gathering the night prior at a local restaurant.

Are kids welcome?

Yes, your children are 100% welcome to join us on the day and hopefully you will enjoy a nice family holiday before or after the wedding in the beautiful country of South Africa.

What is there to do in Cape Town?

There is so much to do! Please have a look at the Things to do tab on the website for further information with estimated costs. It's a fabulous city with so much nature surrounding it.

How will we get about?

Uber's are very accessible and cheap - a good option if you don't want to drive. For further afield trips we would recommend a car (they drive on the left, like in the UK) or book a tour if you'd prefer to relax - Get Your Guide is a great app to book all of the major attractions / tours via.
