Area Info
The beautiful little town of Stellenbosch - close to Franschhoek and roughly an hour from Cape Town - is surrounded by the Stellenbosch Mountains in the Banhoek Valley in one of the most picturesque settings in the Cape.
The second oldest town in South Africa has fondly been called ‘Eikestad,' or the city of oaks, and its streets are lined with some of the most beautiful surviving examples of Cape Dutch, Georgian, and Victorian architecture in the Cape. Dorp Street is a national monument and taking the time to walk around this cosy old part of Stellenbosch, with its secluded lanes, water furrows, cosmopolitan restaurants, and coffee bistros, with superb views of mountains, vineyards, and orchards, is an idyllic morning venture.
The town is central to the most well-known wineries of the Cape Winelands.
