Depart
the city towards the seaside towns of Strand and Gordon’s Bay,
nestled below the slopes of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, with
magnificent views across False Bay to Cape Point in the distance.
Continue
along the spectacular Marine Drive overlooking this rocky coast, past
the white beaches of Koeël Bay and the villages of Rooiels, Pringle
Bay and Betty’s Bay. Stop at the Harold Porter Botanical Gardens,
with its wealth of indigenous Fynbos plants, including the rare Red
Disa, for a mountain walk to the waterfall at Disa Kloof.
Drive
over the Bot River to the charming village of Hermanus, pausing in
the picturesque Hemel-en-Arde valley whose cool, maritime climate
favours the growing of Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Chardonnay
grapes, found at acclaimed wine estates like Bouchard Finlayson, Hamilton
Russell and Whalehaven.
Hermanus
is known for its abundant sightings of Southern Right Whales, which
come in very close to shore to mate and calve (from June to November).
There are excellent vantage points from cliff paths that run from
one end of the town to the other.
Lunch
at a popular seafood restaurant, browse the town’s craft markets,
then head back to Cape Town via the verdant apple-growing regions
of Grabouw and Elgin, with a final stop on the spectacular Sir Lowry’s
Mountain Pass for a panoramic view of the Cape Peninsula.
