A Relaxing Lunch in Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch is known for its and its culture, restaurants and wineries. It’s no surprise so many people flock to the town for a weekend getaway, a day trip, or for travels from overseas.

Getting a car hire and driving out to Stellenbosch is a great way to explore this fascinating part of our country. The town has a long history and is beautiful with the old oak trees that line the streets.
