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!

The Ritz is a 3 star (***) hotel based in Sea Point, Cape Town, with 222 rooms and conference facilities. It’s about 5 minutes walk to the Seapoint Promenade (beachfront) and in close proximity of the V & A Waterfront (short drive) for shopping. The most famous part of the Ritz hotel in Sea Point is probably the revolving restaurant on the 21st floor, that moves in 360 degrees every 90 minutes, giving you a birds eye view of the whole Sea Point, Robben Island and the Waterfront.
