Im American but just spent the last 4 years living in Cape Town. now, Im in Doha.... (people keep asking me why I left something like CTown to Doha... well, still working on that one).
Cat.inc hit it right on the head... those are all great places. Depends on what you want to do locally or if you also want to drive a bit. Driving into Montagu is amazing... over the mountains and brilliantly scenic... just up from there is a great Safari lodge called Sanbona (check the web)... pricing would be good right now but summer (their summer) will be expensive. One of th emost amazing safari places to go because of the landscape.
CapeTown CBD (the centre which they call the city bowl) is tons of fun at night. Long Street has a lot of great clubs on it and the dancing is great.
Be sure to hit Camps Bay for a nice Sunday lunch along the beach (its like Miami beach if the weather is good.. all the ferraris, etc. driving by)... the who's who hangs out there... the evenings, much of the same restaurants turn into clubs.
Don't forget Stellenbosch for wine... do the wine route thing.... its fun.
Stay safe, lock doors, don't walk around at night alone, etc. The worst thing about ZA is the crime... if the crime wouldn't be there.. it would be Eden.
Have fun!!!!
