It's true that the weather in CPT can be somewhat variable in winter (and it can be a little chilly at night), but I would still seriously consider going there. During a five night stay, you'd be rather unlikely not to get at least 2-3 days of good weather. I've certainly experienced many days with perfect blue skies there in June/July.

Durban is nice enough for half a day, and you could spend some days relaxing at one of the nearby resorts such as Zimbali, and maybe do a day trip to Lesotho etc. - but unlike Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula - there isn't much I'd consider spectacular.
