We spent three days here and it was amazing. I left a present for you in the bookshelf -- go find it! (and tweet me @dens if you find it!)
Hey tourist! I 1000% recommend hiking Lion's Head! The view is amazing & it'll only take you 2-3 hrs (vs. all day for Table Mtn). Don't fear the "harder path". ps: Bonus pts if it's your honeymoon!
One of the best steaks I've ever had in my life. Even if you're in Cape Town for a handful of days, go out of your way to hit this spot.(Bernaise sauce overload FTW!)
Great place for a late night cocktail. Don't fear the rowdy locals or the lonesome tourists. Make some friends! Go at nigh, grab a seat outside & stare at the stars over Table Mountain.
Great spot for a cocktail. Sit at the bar and chat up the locals. On a nice night, try to grab the window spot.
Was highly rec'd, but we thought it was just "eh". Normally don't leave so-so Foursquare tips, but you can do better. Maybe skip the meal and get a cocktail on the deck.
Do this. It's awesome even if you are scared shitless of sharks. Chances are you'll leave MORE scared shitless of sharks. Know why? BECAUSE ALL OF THE SHARKS WANT TO EAT OF THE PEOPLE ALL OF THE TIME!
Another one out in Franschhoek. Not a bad place for a quick luck. The Salmon Platter (as one would expect) is pretty over-the-top amazing.
Go for the tasting. Try to leave without spending $300 on wine (we failed). We got cranked. Be careful if your plan is to walk back to town!
If you find yourself waaay out in Franschhoek, don't snooze on this spot. After an epic lunch, walk it off in the gardens. DO NOT SNOOZE ON THE BILTONG (jerky) in the gift shop. So so so so good.
OMG the lunch here is amazing. And the view. And the wine tour. If you're in Franschhoek don't snooze on this spot.
Phinda is amazing. Just go. Ask for Luke, the best guide the planet has ever seen (and tell him Chelsa and Dennis from NYC said hi!) Ask him to go on a hike and be in awe of his bird calling skills.

Great place for some maxin' & relaxin' on the last days of your honeymoon. At low tide, go and explore all the tide pools to the right of the resort & bring back seashells for your nieces & nephews!
