Eventra Experiences — Luxury Cricket Package
Cape Town in summer.
A Test at Newlands.
Ten days that earn
their place in the memory.
The Package
Ten Days.
One Package.
There is a version of a cricket tour that ends at the boundary rope. And there is this one.
The Eventra England vs South Africa Third Test package is built around a simple premise: that the most enduring experiences are the ones where the city itself is part of the event. Cape Town in late December is not a backdrop. It is the reason to come. The winelands in summer, the Atlantic coast at the turn of the year, Table Mountain on a clear morning — these are not incidental additions to a cricket itinerary. They are why this particular ten days holds together.
The cricket comes in at Day 6, when Newlands stages the Third Test between England and South Africa. Eventra's private VIP suite places you at the ground with access the general ticket does not provide — curated hospitality, the right company, and none of the compromise. The days before it are spent in one of Africa's most remarkable cities, at a pace and with an arrangement that makes the cricket feel earned when it arrives.
Base hotel throughout is the Hyatt Regency Cape Town — central, well-positioned, and exactly what it needs to be.
The Ten Days
-
Day 1
Arrival
Private transfers from Cape Town International to the Hyatt Regency. Welcome dinner at a Cape Town venue chosen for the table, not the reputation.
-
Day 2
The Winelands
A full day at Anthonij Rupert Estate in Franschhoek — one of the Cape's most distinguished wine properties. Private tasting, guided cellar access, and lunch on the estate. The kind of afternoon that has no reason to hurry.
-
Day 3
Chapman's Peak & Cape Point — New Year's Eve
The day begins on one of the world's great coastal drives — Chapman's Peak, winding along the Atlantic cliff face toward the Cape of Good Hope. Afternoon at leisure. That evening: a rooftop New Year's Eve dinner over the city lights, seated before midnight finds you.
-
Day 4
New Year's Day
No schedule. The city, at your own pace.
-
Day 5
Table Mountain & Bo-Kaap
A morning ascent of Table Mountain — one of the few natural landmarks that justifies every photograph taken of it. The afternoon moves through the Bo-Kaap, Cape Town's oldest residential quarter, with its painted houses and its unhurried rhythm.
-
Days 6 – 10
The Third Test, Newlands
Five days of Test cricket at one of world sport's most distinctive venues — the mountain behind the stand, the late summer light, the particular atmosphere that Newlands has held for over a century. Eventra's VIP suite provides the right conditions for watching it: curated hospitality, premium seating, and the option to be fully present without managing the day yourself. Evenings include dinner at Sevruga, the Atlantic Seaboard's long-standing seafood institution, and Grand Beach Café in Camps Bay.
-
Day 10
Departure
A final lunch in the city before private transfer to the airport. The right way to leave.

Why this package
This package exists because the best sports travel is never only about the sport. Cape Town in late December earns its place regardless of what happens at Newlands. The cricket is what makes it specific. The city is what makes it memorable.
