With its Mediterranean climate, scenic environment and well-maintained facilities, Stellenbosch is the second-oldest town in South Africa and affectionately referred to as the "Town of Oaks". Whether it is the magnificent backdrop of mountain ranges you seek, perhaps just a scenic drive, wine tasting at wine farms or an adventure-filled ride in a hot air balloon - you will never run out of things to see and do.
