Winter in the Cape brings the thrill of storm watching along the coast. It’s the season that unleashes its wild side on the Cape coast, where nature puts on a dramatic staging of crashing waves, dense clouds, and breathtaking storms. The Cape has many exquisite coastal retreats that not only provide front-row seats to these wild winter storms, but that also offer luxurious accommodation and comfort. Enjoy being pampered at a luxury lodge or boutique hotel whilst watching all the action of winter storms, and perhaps also venturing out to some legendary lookout points.
Chase storms along the Cape coast and indulge in some luxury at the same time. Allow the Cape to reveal the power and beauty of her winter storms, creating wild beach- and cityscapes and dramatic scenery.
