 Stellenbosch
is South Africa’s second oldest town after Cape Town and is the sentimental
heart of the Winelands. The streets of Stellenbosch are lined with shady
oaks and beautiful gabled, white-washed buildings.
While
the town is very cultural, it also has a decidedly young and vibrant air.
There are some interesting museums and many of the buildings, including
some of the hotels and restaurants, are national monuments. |

| There
is good mountain biking just outside the town and while there are plenty
of golf courses around the area, Stellenbosch is really all about wine.
The town is virtually surrounded by fabulous cellars where you can do a
tasting, join a cellar tour, stock up your own personal cellar, and perhaps
enjoy a lovely leisurely lunch in the shade of some typical Stellenbosch
oaks. Some of the wine farms have become multi-purpose resorts with theatres,
restaurants, equestrian centres and much much more. Stellenbosch
is close to Cape Town so it can be visited on a day trip, or you could
do a day trip to Cape Town or the Overberg from
Stellenbosch. The nearest beach is at Strand. |
