Consisting of Gordon’s Bay, Strand and Somerset West, Helderberg is a haven of seaside tranquillity, outdoor adventures and world-class wine farms. A trip to this exquisite slice of coastal heaven is all about slowing down and taking the time to smell the roses. 

Located less than an hour’s drive from Cape Town, the Helderberg area is a go-to holiday destination for locals interested in a mini-break as well as travellers wanting to experience unspoiled coastal beauty away from the busier tourist hotspots of Cape Town. Internationally recognised as having some of the most beautiful beaches worldwide, visitors can choose from the Blue Flag Bikini Beach to Main Beach and Melkbaai, to name just a few. Give yourself the gift of warm lazy days exploring this exquisite coastline, perfect for swimming, surfing, bodyboarding, suntanning and more.

As one of the Western Cape’s premier wine-producing areas, Helderberg is a haven of natural beauty and miles of hills covered in vineyards with spectacular views of the ocean and mountains in the distance. With more than 20 estates to explore, you will have a selection of world-class vineyards to choose from. Even if you’re not a wine connoisseur, the wine farms offer gorgeous sprawling grounds perfect for a picnic and some of the best restaurants in town. 

For the more active, Helderberg is a playground of exciting hiking and mountain biking trails, horse riding, and challenging golf courses. From the Wagon Trail to the heights of the Cape Canopy Tour and the raw beauty of the Hottentots Holland Nature Reserve, you will have plenty of opportunities to stretch your outdoor muscles.
