Cape Town - Cape Winelands - Garden Route Accommodations
and Tours
Flanked by the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, the Western Cape
(Cape Town) boasts almost 1 000 km of unspoilt beaches, incredible scenic beauty and year
round moderate weather. The tapestry of cultural diversity is evident in the
variety of cuisine, architecture, arts and crafts, museums and historical
landmarks. This province is blessed with an unparalleled diverse splendour from
the pretty fishing villages of the West Coast and the arid areas that are
covered in beautiful carpets of flowers between August and October to the
impressive winelands and the gorgeous coastline along the famous Garden Route.
Inland the Klein Karoo is characterised by wide-open spaces, undulating hills
and huge ostrich farms. Scores of Southern Right, Humpback and Brydes Whales
frequent the coastal waters between June and November offering a further
dimension to this spectacular province.
There is nowhere quite like Cape Town. It is in Africa, and of Africa, but yet
so different. Perched between the ocean and the mountain and with a South
African National Park as its heart, Cape Town is steeped in
history, cultural diversity and is fast becoming one of the world's most sought
after destinations. Cape Town is the oldest city in South Africa, it has a cultural
heritage spanning more than 300 years and offers beautiful beaches, seaside
resorts, panoramic drives, inland wine farms and spectacular scenery.
Wine and fruit farms thrive in the Cape and most of the major estates are within
easy reach of Cape Town. Not only do the winelands offer a true wine experience
but the region also holds many hiking trails and rock paintings dating back 7
000 years. This area is blessed with some of the finest bistros and restaurants
often housed in historical buildings of Cape Dutch, Georgian and Victorian
architecture.
Stretching from Slangriver at Heidelberg to the white sandy
beaches of Plettenberg Bay, lies the picturesque Garden Route. The area is
richly endowed by nature and graced with dramatic rocky peninsulas, intriguing
lagoons and estuaries, indigenous forests, magnificent caves and golden beaches.
The quaint seaside villages are home to a variety of accommodation, excellent
restaurants and numerous attractions. From hiking, mountain biking, horse and
ostrich riding, whale, dolphin or bird watching to lazing in the sun, enjoying
an ocean cruise or steam train excursion, there is a land of magic waiting for
you.
