Cape Country Routes is a group of accommodation, activity and transport suppliers, all situated along the Cape’s most scenic routes. Within the group, we feature a variety of country settings – from charming winelands scenery and quaint fishing villages, to world renowned nature reserves and desert-like Karoo landscapes.

Some of our venues even qualify as inspiring, functional and unique production sets themselves – e.g. a fascinating manor house in the winelands, surrounded by majestic mountains, an original Art Deco hotel with historic old-world flair or a tranquil eco guesthouse on the West Coast embodying the feeling of a “home away from home”.

Wesgro (Western Cape Tourism, Trade and Investment Promotion Agency) describes these creative country locations in their own location guide as follows:

“The (Cape Winelands) region is one of the most scenic and beautiful wine regions in the world, and features Cape Dutch buildings, world class golf courses, and unsurpassed scenery. The Cape Karoo offers sweeping landscapes and charming architecture and the R44 is a popular setting for especially vehicle commercials. The same goes for the gravel roads through the forests in Elgin Valley near Grabouw. In the Overberg region the presence of wildlife and documentary film crews are almost constant, as it is the home of the great white shark. The Cape West Coast region is an emerging location for filming. Filmmakers are spoilt for choice, as the region contains wild flowers, quaint seaside towns, wine farms and cellars, culture and heritage attraction. Whether you are looking for white beaches, rugged rocky coastlines, lagoons, lakes, mystic forests, mountains, vibrant pastures, or even semi-arid desert, the Garden Route and Klein Karoo have it all.”
