B&B near Cape Town around £75 pn?
Discussion
I've been given two standby return tickets to anywhere on Virgin Atlantic for my girlfriend and I to travel, but they must be used by the end of December (both legs of trip).
We're currently saving for a house and are busy at work, so we can't afford 3 weeks in Sydney both in terms of time and money and NYE in NYC won't work because we have to return before the 31st.
I'd like to go to Cape Town for a week and it looks like you can get reasonable hotels there for £70 per room per night, but the other half doesn't want a city break (we both work in the City and she's pushed to get the time off in any case).
So, what we're after is either a B&B or hotel with grounds near or on the coast close to Cape Town but not in it.
It's a long shot, but can anyone suggest anywhere?
Thanks in advance.

I can't recommend specific B&Bs but I'd suggest that you stay somewhere out of the city - Constantia is a great area as it's midway between Town and the winelands. Also look at Bantry Bay and along the coast, but you'll struggle to get a room near the beaches (and possibly everywhere TBH).
good luck getting reserve seats to cape town - i've flown there probably half a dozen times and have never seen an empty seat. In fact most times I've been offered money to go the next day, but thats a different matter!
This place is great, but maybe too far out for what you want - it's about 1h15 drive from the city

We liked Simonstown, not far from CT. Very expat if you like that sort of thing.
I imagine there would be a whole variety of accommodation options.
This for instance R750, so £60.

Try Gary at Mooring House Lodge. http://www.accommodationsomersetwest.com/todo.html
Based in Somerset West, in the wine lands. Very central, about 20 minutes from CT, 10 minutes from Stellenbosch, and 5 minutes from Strand. Great for good food and drinks at the various wine estates.
Gary really looks after his guests and will make sure you have a great time.
