"This was misleading advertising on Hotels.com. I selected a tent with 2 queen beds and a bunk bed for about R1700. Just before we arrived I got a call from the hosts and let them know that 2 friends would arrive 30 minutes before us. I was told that I would have to pay an additional R790 for them because they charge extra each person over 2. This was not made clear on the app. This accommodation was not worth over R2,500 for the night. Unhappy guests who feel ripped off."

The temperatures are generally mild, avoiding the intense heat of summer and the cooler, wetter days of winter. This allows for a more comfortable and relaxed experience, whether you're enjoying a wine tasting or hiking a nature trail.

Couples looking for a romantic getaway will appreciate the quieter atmosphere during these times. You can enjoy intimate dining experiences at local farm-to-table restaurants without feeling rushed, or take leisurely walks through vineyards and fynbos landscapes. The natural beauty of the area is particularly stunning in spring when wildflowers are in bloom, and in autumn when the foliage begins to change.
