Area Info
There’s something magical about Stellenbosch — South Africa’s second-oldest town after Cape Town, and the beating heart of the Cape Winelands. With its oak-lined streets, iconic Cape Dutch buildings, and rich heritage, the town blends old-world charm with a vibrant, youthful energy. Just a short walk from Boord Guesthouse, you’ll find yourself meandering down Dorp Street — past art galleries, cafés, bookshops, and historic landmarks that have stood the test of time.
It’s a place where past and present meet. Historic irrigation channels still run alongside cobbled roads, a reminder of the town’s agricultural roots, while the buzz of students, creatives, and fellow-travelling explorers keeps the atmosphere lively and fresh.
Surrounded by some of the country’s finest wine estates, Stellenbosch is a paradise for wine lovers, offering everything from casual tastings under ancient oaks to elegant cellar tours and long, lazy lunches with views of the vineyards. Many estates are now destinations in themselves, with restaurants, theatres, gardens, and even horseback riding.
There are golf courses, museums, farmers’ markets, and the beach at Strand is just a quick drive away.
And with Cape Town and the Overberg both within easy reach for a day trip, Stellenbosch truly puts you at the centre of it all — whether you’re here to explore, unwind, or simply soak up the beauty of the Winelands.
