and found that in Feb indeed Western Cape is one of the best places in the world, beside inner Australia and Atacama desert.

To be honest, if it is just the astronomy you're after, go to Western Cape and know what you are getting Skysurfer. As has been said, the weather is unpredictable all over and yes, better up north.
It is a beautiful country I guess, mountains and lakes etc but you can get that in most countries eh!
However, if you and the Mrs do find yourself enticed by Hobbits and scenery, then come to Otago and we'll (me and N1) arrange a night or two with scopes and good company, free, under crystal clear sky...
