Western Cape Accommodation The Western Cape is so different to the rest of South Africa. It's kind of tacked on to the bottom of Africa - the full stop of the exclamation mark that is this amazing continent. Without a doubt, though, the Western Cape is South Africa's most visited province, and it's hardly surprising. With the lovely city of Cape Town and the unbelievably beautiful Garden Route, there is so much to see. Even the relatively Spartan West Coast has its own charm, as does the dry and relatively monochromatic, but dramatic, Karoo. |

Although there are a number of wine growing areas in South Africa, the bulk of our wine comes from the area we classically call 'the Winelands' that includes Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. The production of wine has shaped the development of this area for over 300 years, and it has recently been nominated a world heritage cultural landscape. |

The Little Karoo is the hot, dry region squeezed between the Outeniqua Mountains that separate it from the green and luscious Garden Route, and the rugged Swartberg Mountains that separate it from the wider, hotter Great Karoo. The principal towns of the Karoo are Oudtshoorn, Calitzdorp, De Rust, Uniondale, Beaufort West and Prince Albert. Famous for the Cango Caves, ostrich farms, the Karoo National Park, hiking trails, the Voortrekker Monument, Swartberg Pass and Gamkaskloof. The West Coast area includes Darling, Langebaan, Saldanha and Yzerfontein. The hauntingly beautiful coastal wild flower reserves unravel across green hills. Famous for seaside resorts, spring flower displays, the West Coast National Park, fynbos and watersports.
