As the year end is fast approaching, everyone is starting to wind down, wrap up their workloads and focus on a well- deserved break.
Having sat in work traffic and endured stress all year long, many plan to avoid the hustle and the bustle, yet desire a blend of both activity and relaxation.
Thus, Durbanville is the ideal location offering centrality between all that Cape Town has to offer.
A mere 14 km from the airport, Durbanville is an elite leafy suburb nestled amongst various surrounding suburbs offering a plethora of exciting things to do. It’s easy access to the N1 makes travelling to the beautiful iconic landmarks of Cape Town quick and easy.
While Cape Town boasts the most beautiful beaches in the world as well as a multitude of things to do and see, namely, a trip up Table Mountain either hiking or taking the cable car, enjoying a spectacular sunset picnic on top of Signal Hill, boat rides, visits to the renowned V & A Waterfront, tea and scones at Rhodes Memorial, a stroll through the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens with their offering of sunset concerts on the lawns, a day out using the service of Hilton Ross Tours terrific Topless Bus, visiting the Penguins at Boulders Beach and driving down to the most southern tip of Africa, Cape Point, where the Indian and Atlantic Ocean meet, are just a few of the wonders of visiting the Cape. One may choose cultural activities such as visiting The Museum set in the Company Gardens, The Apartheid Museum, The Chris Barnard Medical Museum, The Planetarium or attending the various theatres that Cape Town has to offer, one is never at a loss for enriching one’s mind and refreshing one’s soul in this magnificent city.
However, Durbanville has many sensational offerings too that allows one to stay within the parameters and avoiding much travelling beyond the suburb itself.
Durbanville prides itself as one of the arteries of the heart of The Winelands. It boasts many magnificent wine farms, allowing for wine tastings and pairings as well as meandering through the vineyards. Many of the Wine Farms have extraordinary dining on offer so one is really spoilt for choice.
