Table Mountain

Cape Town is defined, first and foremost, by Table Mountain. The centre of the city nestles beneath it, and it seems almost rude not to make it your first stop. Being whisked to the summit by cable car and taking in the spectacular views is without doubt a highlight, and an exce .... Click Here for More

The city centre

The city itself rolls from the lower slopes of Table Mountain and holds most of Cape Town’s major sights and attractions. From the Lower Cableway Station, you look out over City Bowl, the central residential suburbs of Tamboerskloof, Gardens, Oranjezicht and Vredehoek, and .... Click Here for More

Southern Suburbs

Hugging the lower slopes of Table Mountain and stretching southeast away from the city centre, towards Constantia and False Bay, are Cape Town’s Southern Suburbs. These encompass the bulk of Cape Town’s suburban sprawl, once the enclave of largely affluent whites but today an interesti .... Click Here for More

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch, the centre of the Winelands, is the oldest and most attractive town in the region, and one of South Africa’s finest.

This is undoubtedly one of the most pleasant Wineland villages, but the reality is that most of the attractions here have been created to serve the tourist industry. The outlying wine estates all have their individual appeal, but the village itself is mostly restaurants and touristy shops. Howev .... Click Here for More

Franschhoek Wine Route

All the vineyards lie along the Franschhoek valley, making it one of the most compact wine routes in the region. What makes this such a rewarding route is that several estates have opened their own excellent restaurants and five also offer luxury overnight accomm- odation. All the valley’s ....

Paarl

While Paarl is home to two of South Africa’s better-known wine estates, KWV and Nederburg, the town itself is not as interesting as Stellenbosch nor as fashionable as Franschhoek. All of the attractions and restaurants are strung out along Main Street at th .... Click Here for More

Paarl Wine Route

The route was set up in 1984 by local producers to help promote their wines and attract tourists into the area. The programme has been a great success and some of the estates have opened their own restaurants. These are usually very good, but don’t expect huge discounts on the wine with you ....
