Paarl

 

A simple 40 minute drive from Cape Town you will find a hidden jewel, the scenic town of Paarl…

 

Food for the soul…

The balmy summers call for light yet long lunches under the lush trees sipping on chilled wine while the colder winter nights you can go indoors and toast a glass of local red wine around a toasty fire!

Paarl has been called the gourmet capital of South Africa, it caters for all tastes and one can experience culinary beauty from dusk till dawn!

 

Down memory lane
A trip down the 12-km long Main Road, the longest in the country, is a trip down memory lane. The buildings lining Main Road present a mosaic of the most superb examples of Cape Dutch, Victorian, Edwardian and Art Deco architecture.

 

Scenic Paarl

The streets are framed by beautiful Oak trees, the mountains are covered with a vast array of fauna and flora which one can see along many of the routes in Paarl, for the adventurer at heart one can go on a horseback ride along the foothills of the mountains or through the vineyards.

Rise to the occasion with a splendid morning hot air balloon ride as you watch the sun rise and see the new day begin from the sky.

 

For the family
Keep the children entertained by paying a visit to some of the interesting attractions in and around town such as the crocodile farm, snake park or glass-blowing studio. Mom and dad can savour the world-class wines on the wine route and visit the oldest existing cooperage in the country. 

A rich history
Paarl proudly bears the title of the third-oldest town in South Africa. Standing tall on Paarl Mountain and celebrating the birth of Afrikaans is the Afrikaans Language Monument and just outside Paarl is Drakenstein Prison, where Nelson Mandela spent his last years of captivity and started his walk to freedom.
