It boasts great diversity : from the coast with abundant marine life , to the beautiful Elgin Valley and its wine regions — the area is a true hidden gem .
Cape Winelands Tuscany is lovely , sure , but why go through all the admin , and costs , when you can everything on offer and more in the Cape Winelands ? Overflowing with award-winning vintages , and home to world class vineyards , the region ’ s story is intrinsically tied to the vine . And while the wine put the region on the map , it is perfectly paired with the many top local restaurants . Add craft beer and whisky to the menu too , with the area quickly becoming a leader in both beverages . Garden Route and Klein Karoo Route 66 ? You should rather give Route 62 a go .

Cape West Coast The Cape West Coast ( Weskus ) is a place so awe-inspiring , so jaw-droppingly beautiful , you would need weeks to take it all in .
Think Greece ; famous for its beautiful beaches and seaside towns , it has become a popular home-away-fromhome for those looking to escape the city . The abundance of seafood and crayfish makes the area a mecca for foodies . But the Weskus is not just about the coast ! The aptly named town of Darling is visited for its wildflowers and wines , while the Cederberg Mountains boast century-old rock art , and some of the best hiking , biking and bouldering , globally .
Cape Karoo Wide-open space — the Cape Karoo is where you go when you need to escape the pace of city life . Kind of like Nevada , but without the visas and hassle , it is a place of incredible beauty , wild game , magical sunsets and clear night-skies . Apart from the many nature reserves and game reserves , visit Matjiesfontein , a tiny 19th Century town , seemingly untouched by time .
