The Western Cape region

Western Cape enjoys mild winters and pleasant summers, rainfall is moderate throughout the year and there are refreshing sea breezes.

Golden vineyards, sun-drenched orchards, beaches, silent forests, sweeping lakes and beautiful views make this region a delight, not to mention the wealth of entertainment and industry that Cape Town offers.

Constantia’s famous vineyards are only a 10-minute drive, where you can sample the delights of Cape wines, brandies and aperitifs while enjoying superb lunches or dinners on the estates.

Cape Point Nature Reserve can be accessed along the beautiful coastal road within half-an-hour and mountain walks meander in all directions from your front door.
