One of the major Universities in South Africa is in Stellenbosch so the town evolved very much around Student Life. But as rich in culture as Cape Town. Over Holiday periods it is not as busy as when the University is in session, but it is standing on its own as a tourist town with lots to offer.

The Motor Museum is an interesting place covering more than 100 years of Motoring History. You will find South Africa’s First Perfume Museum. Take note that you have to MAKE A BOOKING in advance to do this, Below is a link where you can see what are offered as packages when you go to Franschhoek or the Motor Museum. Wineries near this area are plenty, including the famous La Motte, Boekenhoutskloof and Eikehof Wines. The town has many art, curio shops and eateries. And the Monuments there tells the history of the Huguenotes. I would not pay a visit to the Museum unless you have a specific interest. But a visit to the town in general is a worthy outing. Dutch Architecture makes it an amazing.

We always love to drive out to Hout Bay – mainly for the nice ride along Chapman’s Peak. But our treat is to go eat fish and chips there at the harbor and enjoy the birds that have become very aquinted with the humans (guilty from feeding them I guess). But still a nice stop to make for Lunch if you drive out that way.

More or less between the apartment and the Waterfront is a suburb called De Waterkant. Cobble streets and walking distance to shops, it is a great area to stay in overnight or in an Airbnb or other short term rental. Nice vibe. Safe area. Although Cape Town is open and inclusive in terms of all gender and race, this area is especially popular and friendly in this regard. Wonderful area to stay. Close to everything.

Woodstock is an edgy, evolving neighborhood where hipster cafes, veggie eateries and galleries occupy old factories covered with vivid murals. The renovated Old Biscuit Mill is home to cool design stores and hosts the weekly Neighbourhoods Market, with street food stalls, African handicrafts and designer fashion. On nearby streets, quirky stores sell vintage fashion, upcycled furniture and antiques. (Wikipedia). Gentrifications is evident here but it makes for an amazing experience. Do hold on to your belongings such as fancy cameras you leave unattended while you gaze on the scenery. It can be snatched here easily. But it is worth a great visit.

This is ideal to go have a glass of wine and watch the sunset at a street café in Camps Bay. It is right on the beach and there are usually street performers to entertain you. You can swim at these beaches. https://www.tripadvisor.com/Attraction_Review-g312658-d481503-Reviews-Camp_s_Bay_Beach- Camps_Bay_Western_Cape.html
This street is known for its late, late nightlife. Nighclubs, bars, some shady hangouts – beware of your belongings and don’t venture here alone. But if you are up for the wee morning hours, then this is where you would find your joint.
