We went to all 3 places that you mentioned in this post -- Boulders Beach (but entrance was free, man), Cape Point (AWESOME!) and Hout Bay (for some calamari). We also went up Table Mountain by cable car. Next time, I'd like to walk up (6 hrs or so), then pay some serious cash (R495 or so) to abseil down ;) Whaddya know?

Several options for scenic drives and the towns along the way are all browsable. I wish I could let you flip through the 4,000 plus pictures we brought back from our trip there - that would give you a good idea :) Whatever you do, go up Table Mountain. I would recommend walking up (about 2 hours), but most people prefer the cable car. And the Farmer's Market at the Old Biscuit Mill in Woodstock - you can't miss that. It's only on a Saturday from about 8.30 till 1pm I think, but the food alone is probably the best reason to go there. Arts and crafts aplenty too. I also really want to recommend a township tour - but honestly, it's a tourist trap. Over priced, and you're not sure any of the money will actually reach the community. A pity, really.

How long does the drive take from...err...the city? Heh. I'll be going around with some locals and they've been asking me where I want to go so they can make the arrangements but I still have no idea what I want to see :P Cape Point looks spectacular.
