side and the Beyerskloof vineyards on the other. The houses are
designed along the lines of traditional Cape farmhouses in keeping
with the semi-rural location. The Monterosso wine estate is 850

historic university town of Stellenbosch where excellent restaurants,
student pubs, shopping malls, museums, oak-lined avenues and
quaint shops will cater to all your needs. The Jonkershoek Nature
Reserve begins on the edge of the town and offers a variety of day
and overnight hiking trails, camping and picnic spots or just a quiet
walk in the forest or along the river. Cycling off road or through the
