Cape Grace, in Cape Town, offers guests a BMW transfer within six miles of the hotel, 24-hour Internet access from the communication center, full breakfast and coffee and tea in-room with wake-up call, underground parking and use of the hot spa area.

Gym equipment can also be delivered directly to guests’ rooms or they can visit the nearby Virgin Active health club. African storytelling in the hotel library is available for children.

At the Pezula Resort Hotel Spa –which is on a cliff over the Indian Ocean- tennis, beach facilities, daily breakfast at Zachary’s restaurant, Wi-Fi Internet access in all suites, DVD and CDs, use of the gym and hot spa area, Maruwa spa amenities in each suite as well as tea, coffee and homemade cookies are all included amenities.

On the tour operator side, all activities are included in the rate with an andBEYOND safari.
