Things to do in Stellenbosch

With the kids

Stellenbosch is packed with fun-filled activities for the whole family. Go see the rare White Lions at Vredenheim or horse riding on the Spier Estate. We highly recommend your take the family for strawberry picking at Mooiberge Strawberry Farm and/or have a family picnic on Warwick Wine Estate. Enquire at Reception for a list and map of activities.

On a rainy day

There is no need to frown upon a rainy day, because there is more than enough to do and see in town. Make a trip to a few museums, wander through some art galleries and enjoy a delightful cup of coffee in one of the many street café’s. If rainy weather put you in the mood to stay in, we suggest making paper planes or hand puppets to entertain you for the day. You are more than welcome to ask the staff at Reception for some useful tips on places to visit.

When feeling adventurous

If adrenaline is your best fix then Stellenbosch will not disappoint. From mountain biking and moonlight hikes on Delvera Wine Estate to hiking trails in the Jonkershoek Nature Reserve and climbing the Simonsberg Mountain – Stellenbosch has it all! If you can not bring your own bicycle, you can rent one from Piet se Fiets just down the road.

On a Sunday

What a life we have on Sundays in the Winelands. Everyone is on a slow-go and is this a day to enjoy the leisure lifestyle of the people of Stellenbosch. There are a number of wine farms and restaurants open as well as shops and museums. Enquire at Reception for a list of Sunday activities and choice of restaurants and wine farms.

For Art lovers

Stellenbosch has long been known as a sanctuary of some of South Africa’s top artist. The Rupert Family, known for their love of art and vast collection of it, has created the Rupert Museum to showcase some of South Africa’s best works of art. Visit Porchie at his gallery in Church Street, meander your way through the countless number of smaller galleries around town, visit Delaire Graff Wine Estate and see the Graff Family Collection. Come and talk to us at Reception about any more options for visits to galleries and/or art exhibitions in town and surrounds.
