Somerset West Self Catering Holiday Accommodation

Somerset West is ideally situated as the gateway to the Winelands, it is a mere 30 minute drive from Cape Town, 31km from the airport, 20km from Stellenbosch University and 6 minutes' drive from the False Bay coast with its golden stretches of long sandy beaches.

Somerset West is ideally placed for exploring the winelands of the Western Cape, the Vergelegen and Spier Wine Estates are well worth visiting. It is protected from the coastal winds by the majestic Hottentots Holland Mountains.

Named after Lord Charles Somerset in 1819, Somerset West is the commercial and residential capital of the Helderberg Basin whilst maintaining its village atmosphere. The Helderberg Nature Reserve, close by, is rich in the Cape Fynbos.

Somerset West, Gordons Bay and Strand make up the Helderberg Basin. There is a combination of action packed Mountains, warm Blue Ocean and white sandy beaches, making it one of the most sought after holiday destinations in the world.

The slopes of the mountains are covered in vineyards or botanical gardens. Whilst the Helderberg is a world of it's own, it is still only 30 minutes drive from the center of Cape Town, 20 minutes from the Cape Town International Airport and 15 minutes from the beautiful town of Stellenbosch.
