Luxury Picnics

Explore the dramatic scenery of Cape Town's Table Mountain National Park with a luxury picnic, lovingly prepared by our talented chefs. Pick up a luxury picnic filled with tasty picnic fare, and head out onto the trails for an open air adventure.

Panoramic picnics

A handful of secluded picnic sites within the hotel’s fynbos gardens offer breathtaking ocean views. Equipped with tables and sun umbrellas, these mountainside locales offer dramatic sea views and provide the perfect location to indulge in a sumptuous picnic basket.

Mountain trails

If you are looking for a low-key walking trail to accompany your picnic, easy pathways meander through our fynbos gardens, leading to a handful of unforgettable picnic sites. 

The perfect proposal

A much-loved landmark within our gardens is Stanley’s Rock. This piece of naturally-sculpted granite is named for Stanley Tollman, husband of Bea Tollman, founder of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection. With its impressive views out over the Atlantic Ocean, it has become an especially popular choice for romantic marriage proposals. Stanley and Bea's lifelong love story certainly sets the tone for a successful marriage.
