Framed by the magnificent Hottentots-Holland and Helderberg Mountains, this popular holiday destination comprises several rural towns and seaside villages. The white, sandy beaches, protected False Bay waters, diverse flora and fauna, magnificent mountains and nearby winelands make it hard to decide what to do and what to leave, so it would be best to plan for quite a lengthy stay. The fact that it is within easy reach of Cape Town city centre (only 45 km away) also adds to its popularity.
The Helderberg (Clear Mountain) region is made up of the towns of Gordon’s Bay, Lwandle, Macassar, Sir Lowry’s Pass, Somerset West and Strand.
