| Somerset
West (Afrikaans Somerset-Wes) is a town in the Western Cape province
of South Africa. It is situated in the Helderberg area (formerly called
Hottentots Holland), about 50 km (30 mi) east of Cape Town and 10 km from
Strand. The town is overlooked by the imposing Helderberg (meaning
"clear mountain"), a part of the Hottentots-Holland range of mountains.
Somerset West has a fairly decorative display of Christmas lights erected
atop the street lights of the Main Road. The Helderberg Lights Festival
(aka the Strawberry Festival), a flea market and parade, normally complements
these lights. The area also has its own community radio station,
Radio Helderberg, broadcasting community notices and playing adult orientated
pop music. |

STELLENBOSCH
GUEST HOUSES, CAPE WINELANDS

Top |
| Stellenbosch
is South Africa’s second oldest town, after Cape Town and is the sentimental
heart of the Winelands. Lined with shady oaks and beautiful gabled, white-washed
buildings the streets of Stellenbosch still have small irrigation channels
on either side of the older roads. In the past, these were used to water
gardens, as each householder had a time slot in which to divert the town’s
irrigation into their plot. It is very cultural and somewhat venerable,
while also displaying 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 and deserve a second look. There
is good mountain biking just outside the town, and there are golf courses
aplenty, but Stellenbosch is really all about wine. |
View
map of Stellenbosch
|
| 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. |
