10-Day Cape Town & Garden Route To George Self-drive Tour - Standard - NETT

Days 1 - 3: Cape Town

  • Collect your rental car at Cape Town Airport and travel to the Mother City (alternatively we can organize an airport transfer and have your rental car delivered at a later stage)
  • Start your holiday with 3 wonderful days in Cape Town. There is so much to see and to do!
  • Highlights include the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the historical inner city, markets and of course Table Mountain. Book a guided walking tour through the city, cycle through the townships or go for sundowners on Signal Hill.
  • Stay for 3 nights at the trendy Grand Daddy Hotel, situated within walking distance of the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel has very special airstream trailers on the rooftop (at an extra fee).

Days 4 - 5: Robertson

  • Leave the city behind and travel to the countryside. You will be staying in Robertson, in the famous Robertson Wine Valley, for the next two nights. Visit any of the many wine estates, try a tasting and tour the wine cellars. Enjoy a sumptuous picnic in the estate gardens, go on a river cruise or blend your own bottle of wine.
  • Stay 2 nights at Mo & Rose at Soekershof surrounded by great gardens and with an excellent restaurant on site.

Day 6: Oudtshoorn

  • The first stop today will be Swellendam, the country’s 3rd oldest town. Spend some time here for a stroll and cup of coffee. Then drive the spectacular Tradouw Pass through the mountains and join the Route 62 all the way to Oudtshoorn. Stop at the small towns of Barrydale, Ladismith and Calitzdorp where time seems to have stood still. Oudtshoorn is well known for the ostrich farms and the Cango Caves.
  • Optionally you can explore the history and heritage of Oudtshoorn with a local guide. Enjoy an educational town walk through streets, with well-known historical names, and visit eight heritage sites which include sandstone buildings known as Ostrich Feather Palaces. The local guide is sharing an indigenous perspective on town development and the culture of the area.
  • Stay at Surval Boutique Olive Estate just out of town, for wonderful Karoo hospitality, food and olive tasting.
