A beautiful and far cooler alternative to the classic Garden Route.
Cape Town thrills with its best-in-the-world beaches, restaurants and scenery, its frisky up-and-coming neighbourhoods and a thriving art scene. Within easy reach is the fishing village of Paternoster, with its pretty whitewashed cottages and colourful wooden boats. Loop round through the Riebeek Valley and down to Robertson, in the heart of the wine route, for a fresh departure from the Franschhoek throngs.

Head north up the coast to Paternoster for two nights at Strandloper Ocean Boutique Hotel. Kick off your shoes and settle in to the slow pace of life here. Explore the neighbouring nature reserve, take off on beach walks or venture along bird watching trails, then refuel with the freshest, most sublime seafood.
Head inland to Riebeek Kasteel for two nights at the grand Royal Hotel. Together with Hermon and Riebeek West, this quirky village forms the picturesque and tranquil Riebeek Valley - part of the up-and-coming Swartland wine-producing area.
