Stellenbosch Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)

Tropical vibes in Autumn

In the Botanical Garden they have a greenhouse section that houses both tropical and arid plant species. My favourite was Tropical house 1 (as shown in the video). Honestly, the humid hotness was a define escape for the cooling weather and brought me right back to the himid weather of Shanghai in summer. Inside the actual greenhouse there are lots of different and interesting plants to keep you interested. #garden #greenhouse

Lunch and views to die for.

Postcard cafe has always been recommended to us by friends and family, so after our first visit I absolutely see why! The wine farm it is on is picturesque, and has a beautiful dam you can stroll around with a big lawn that kids will love. The food was delicious with that unique South African flare, boasting some local dishes like bobotie that I thoroughly enjoyed. Average cost is about ZAR 200. #freehotelstay #foodie #southafrica #hiddengem #wintervibe

I never thought I would enjoy a motor museum this much! The property is gorgeous and the four barns of cars are well worth the visit. It's wonderful to see old cars so lovingly cared for and I would highly recommend a visit. The owner has a huge collection so the cars on display are changed regularly. #wintergetaway

Ice-cream and wine pairings 🍧🍷

As an ice-cream lover I was delighted to learn about this pairing, and *wow* did it deliver! The restaurant is beautiful, filled with art that has a unique African flair, but the captivating view of the landscape from the restaurant window can't be beaten. We also ordered wood fired pizzas that had gourmet flavour profiles, that we absolutely enjoy. This romantic setting and fun activity I'd recommend to anyone who is looking for something a little tucked away and secluded. #timetotravel #winetasting #winelovers

Anura Vineyard

#summerbreak Anura vineyard is a very cute vineyard on the orange line of the wine tour in South Africa. It is a smaller estate than the other vineyards and has a European feel to it with a nice pond outside and the building representing a villa. In this particular vineyard, we found that the wines on sale were very good value (particularly the rosè) wine. This particular vineyard had less options of wine pairing with food but the wine was delicious #mytripvlog #urbanexplorer
