Cape Town South Africa

We’re getting some information together about this special route. It’s an alternative way to get from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn and really a spectacular drive.

Barrydale

Barrydale is about 2.5 hours drive from Cape Town through scenic wine farms (Robertson Valley) on to the R62. It’s a beautiful little town nestled between mountains and farms, with amazing views and people.

Visit Lentelus, a Farm Stay Bed & Breakfast in Barrydale for an amazing experience.

Also be sure to visit the Fish & Chips shop (and no they don’t sell fish & chips funny enough) for the coolest curios and stuff you can only find in a town like Barrydale.

Further the Jam Tarts is a quaint little restaurant on the main road that serves up a mean pizza and the people are extremely friendly.

Also visit the Warmwaterberg Spa, natural hot springs just outside town and don’t forget Ronnie’s Sex Shop on the way of course. Many a lady have lost their knickers in the early hours of the morning, but it’s actually just a pub that’s world famous for it’s amazing venue and parties.

Well worth a visit!

It seems that the wild flower season on the Cape West Coast has started early this year because of all the good rain in the Western Cape. Remember to head up the R27 (West Coast Road) towards Langebaan and Darling to view the beautiful natural wild flower displays that the areas have to offer. Langebaan has a nature reserve called the Postberg nature reserve, which also has some small game to view while you’re watching flowers, but there are also other excellent nature reserves in the area to visit.

Generally look for good weather days with little cloud, as the flowers are best viewed in these conditions.
