the neighborhood
we are located in somerset west that lies in the helderberg basin, surrounded by an amphitheater of mountains, between the cape winelands and false bay Every December, the town has a fairly decorative display of Christmas lights erected atop the street lights of the Main Road. The Helderberg Lights Festival (aka the Strawberry Festival), a flea market and parade, normally complements these lights.
another must see is the helderberg nature reserve, a 363 hectare natural wildlife preserve opened in 1964, contains a wide variety of smaller fauna (buck, tortoises and other reptiles) and outstanding specimens of indigenous flora such as protea and fynbos
the vergelegen wine estate lies just outside the town itself The buildings on the estate constitute fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture.
the lwandle migrant labor museum is located in lwandle township and is dedicated to the history of black migrant workers in the area during the apartheid era It is one of only a few museums in South Africa that covers this aspect of the country's history.
somerset west contains a number of sporting facilities including several golf courses, one of the most famous in south africa is the somerset west golf club
the historic town of stellenbosch is reachable via the r44 motorway (approx 18 km / 11 mi away) The area between Somerset West and Stellenbosch also encompasses many vineyards and wineries (e. G. Rust-en-Vrede, Lourensford, Alto, J. P. Bredell) where visitors can sample and purchase wine. The oldest remaining vineyard in South Africa, Vergelegen, one of the most ancient winery, is situated on the outskirts of Somerset West.
close to cape town (40 kilometers) and the international airport (25 kilometers away on the n2 motorway), the beaches at the strand and gordon's bay, as well as the western cape's numerous wine farms
on route to hermanus, gaansbai
getting around
there is no convenient public transport However we can organize taxi's / Uber or a private driver if needed. We can also organize airport pickups / drop-offs and tours too.
to hire a car would be the best and most flexible option for exploring the winelands
