Welcoming more international visitors than any other province, the Western Cape certainly has no shortage of reasons to visit. From riding the Table Mountain cable car with it’s incredible views of the Mother City to whale watching and shark spotting in Hermanus, and from wine tasting in Franschhoek to exploring the Garden Route; whether you love food, culture, history or wildlife, you’ll fall in love with the Western Cape.
Boasting a vibrant food scene, the iconic Table Mountain, the history of Robben Island, the penguins of Boulders Beach, the beach life of Camps Bay and the nature of Cape Point, not to mention the V&A Waterfront, Kirstenbosch and so much more, Cape Town is a standout destination whether it is your first visit or your hundredth. The appeal of the city is enhanced further by the ease with which it acts as the perfect base for exploring both nearby towns and the rest of the province.
Visitors to Cape Town are spoiled for hotel choice with twelve Southern Sun hotels to choose from. There’s the famous grand pillars and pool of The Cullinan, the holiday vibes of Southern Sun The Waterfront, and the new laid-back modern affordability of SunSquare and StayEasy City Bowl hotels. From Woodstock to Parow, the Foreshore to Century City, there is a room for everyone.
Head east out of the city and a first stop is the Cape Winelands. Whether you choose to explore Paarl, Stellenbosch, Franschhoek or maybe all of them, there are more than 500 wineries in the Cape to choose from. Beyond the vineyards and cellars, the towns are rich in history with architecture that adds to the charm and beauty. Inland towns like Robertson and Montagu are good spots for lovers of delicious dining, while further east the town of Oudtshoorn offers a mix of natural beauty near the Klein Karoo and a unique heritage.
The farming region of the Overberg is watched over by the impressive Hottentots-Holland Mountains and is a popular area for day trips and mini-breaks outside of Cape Town. For a spa weekend, visitors can’t go wrong with a holiday in the elegant Arabella Hotel where both spa treatments and world-class golf will vie for your attention. On the coast, Hermanus and Gansbaai are famous for all things oceanic. As a protected breeding area for whales, visitors to Hermanus can spot them breaching and waving their flukes from the town itself. Thrill-seekers head to Gansbaai where the chance to get up close and personal with a great white shark is hard to resist.
Continuing the journey towards the Eastern Cape, about four hours drive from Cape Town, the province still has one of its best areas left to discover. The famous Garden Route winds its way along the coast for more than 200km and includes picturesque towns like Knysna, Mossel Bay and Plettenberg Bay. Stay over in the comfort of the Garden Court Mossel Bay hotel or the iconic beach resort of Beacon Island just outside Plettenberg Bay.
Explore some of our Western Cape holiday highlights including the beaches and forests of the Garden Route, the whales and mountains of Hermanus, and the wine and culture of Cape Town.
