Paarl

The towns of Paarl and Wellington will indulge your craving for the country although they are only 40 min away from Cape Town.

The name Paarl was derived from the Paarl Rock which is a huge attraction for thePaarl area. The Dutch, when coming to this town, saw the rock glisten from the rain and immediately thought it looked like a pearl, hence the name Paarl..

A touch of nostalgia hits you as you arrive on the Du Toitskloof pass and you overlook the valley of the vineyards. If you stand on top of our mountains, in the distance you will be able to appreciate the beautiful table mountain in Cape Town and indulge in the shopping at the waterfront, swim in the beautiful oceans of the Cape.

Paarl and Wellington are known as the heart of the Winelands with Franschhoek on the border where cuisine is an every day existence. Panoramic views of the vineyards and the Mediterranean climate make us the California of South Africa. Fun sites to visit are our Afrikaans Taal Monument, the Arboretum with its collection of exotic and indigenous trees, excellent restaurants for the cosmopolitan taste buds to have a gastronomical experience, historical buildings and homes that recall our colonial heritage.
