Anyone flown Swiss Air to S. Africa? Also accomm near Cape Town?

[MarshmallowFarm]

We might be going to S. Africa at Christmas - but the only reasonably cheap flights I've found so far are with Swiss Air. Has anyone ever flown with them longhaul? Most importantly, do they have good TV/Film selections for kids (teeneager and 12 year old)

Also, does anyone know any decent self-catering accommodation within 40 mins of Cape Town. Once stayed in Strand and loved it but fancy something nearer table Mountain or Cape Point, preferably v. near a beach!

We rented a beachhouse in Kommetjie which was stunning. Fantastic beach! You have to drive over the Silvermine mountains to get there, about 50 mins into Cape Town, but not too far from Cape Point.

Just gorgeous, would go back in a flash!

We flew BA from Joburg though, as we went there first, so can't help with flight info.

This place is fantastic: www.houtkapperspoort.co.za/

Thanks both - have had a look at both areas and sent some emails requesting availability! All looks gorgeous!
