Somerset West, Winelands, South Africa

Somerset West lies in the south of the Cape Winelands close to the beaches of the False Bay Coast. From here you have easy access both to the wine estates and to the beaches and whale-watching along the beautiful False Bay coastline. 

A visit to Vergelegen Homestead and Wine Estate  is essential if you are interested in the history of the Cape, as it was the country house of governor Willem Adrian van der Stel and partly the cause of his fall from grace.  This elegant and tranquil estate offers much for the visitor: the Cape homestead, the lovely garden, an excellent restaurant for lunch as well as wine-tasting and cellar tours. Alternatively enjoy a game of golf at nearby Erinvale Golf Estate.
