Have you made your New Year’s Eve plans yet? The month of December is just a few days away, along with the countdown to 2016. Numerous events are happening in many of the areas close to the apartments and villas that we offer. But if your life looks pretty crazy right now, then you might not be thinking about New Year’s Eve just yet. Yet, this is something that you might regret. You could end up realising only in the last few days of 2015 that you’d really like to do something special to celebrate the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016.

But if you aren’t looking forward to spending a lot of time trolling the web, then just visit this post! We have here a list of some activities and events that you can enjoy, all within in convenient distances of a large number of properties we feature in our portfolio. You definitely don’t want to be the kind of person who leaves his or her New Year’s Eve plans for the last minute. Check out this list and you will have your New Year’s Eve plans sorted easily (but make sure to book early, since most of them will already be sold out in the last week of 2015!).

Book a boat cruise – V&A Waterfront

One of the classic ways to celebrate the transition from the current year to the New Year is a fantastic fireworks display. What better way is there to enjoy this than on a boat cruise on the waters around the V&A Waterfront? Book one of the many boat cruises that will be setting sail from Quay 5 or North Quay at the V&A Waterfront, but make sure to do it soon, two boat cruises are already sold out, and the organisers said that last year 8 boats were filled well in advance. The cruises cost from R 650.00 to R 120,000.00 (the latter for a private charter for 140 people). Bookings close on December, the 24th. You will need to be at the departure points 30 minutes before departure, so make sure to take traffic and parking time into account if you are coming by car. Note that there are no refunds if you miss your boat so make sure to be there on time. Take advantage of this offer and you will be sure to experience New Year’s Eve like you never have before.
