HAPPENING IN AND AROUND DE WATERKANT?

Traditional South African Braai

The Roof deck at The Charles is an idyllic venue, with beautiful city views, especially late afternoon on a windless night when the city lights up and the evening comes alive. Famous for their festive "chop & dop" evenings, The Charles can host a traditional South African Braai, made to order for up to 25 guests.

On the grill expect some sosaties; a traditional South African entrée of Cape Malay origin derived from 'sesate' (skewered meat), and 'sate' (spicy sauce), lamb chops and Boerewors, a type sausage popular in South African cuisine, from Afrikaans word 'boer' (farmer) and 'wors' (sausage). Accompaniments include fresh salads including traditional potato salad, seasonal fruit and 'mieliepap', a ground and crumbed boiled maize (a traditional staple food of most African people).

And while the fire is cooking, taste some of the Cape's finest wines, introduced to you by a local wine expert. Sit back and nibble on some freshly baked bread with homemade pâtés whilst soaking up the views and experiencing the pulse of the city.

The giant Observation Wheel, a first for Cape Town and South Africa, is a unique way to savour a panoramic bird’s-eye views of Cape Town, paarl, Table Mountain and Robben Island. Sporting 36 fully-enclosed cabins, groups can sit back and savour the city skyline on the 20 minute round trip. For those who want to ‘glam’ up the experience, champagne and canapés are also available in one of the exclusive VIP cabins.
