If you love country-style towns this one is a must visit! The views, the gardens, the atmosphere ... its all lovely! Its "Apple country", you will see orchards and orchards of apples, rose gardens like you've never ... magical. Go there!

I loved my short time here, it's only about an hour away from Cape Town and when you get there you feel totally relaxed. Beautiful views and lots to do in the area! Perfect for a weekend breakaway.
