Tree Tops is located near the very centre of the Western Cape winelands encompassing Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl and surrounding areas. As such it provides the ideal base from which to explore this picturesque and most breathtaking region of the Cape.
Stellenbosch, the oldest settlement in South Africa after Cape Town, is undoubtedly the most scenic and historically-preserved town in the country. Oak-lined streets next to water furrows compliment the many fine examples of elegant Cape Dutch, Victorian and Georgian architecture - all part of this unique "Town of Oaks". The Eerste River flows through the centre of the town that enjoys a magnificent backdrop of mountain ranges, including the Simonsberg, Stellenbosch, Jonkershoek and Pieke (Peaks) mountains. You'll never run out of things to see and do; from scenic drives, wine tours and tastings to hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing. With its mild Mediterranean climate, scenic environment, well-maintained facilities and close proximity to Cape Town and many other places of interest, Stellenbosch is the perfect holiday destination. It is the ideal base from which to explore the Winelands, Cape Town, the Peninsula and the many tourists attractions that the area has to offer.
Stellenbosch is the centre of the country's wine industry, and is also home to the world-renowned 'Maties' University. Many national and international industries have their headquarters here. Touring the winelands begins inside the Banhoek Valley as the cottage is literally surrounded by a number of the Cape’s premier wine estates namely: Alluvia, Camberly, Delaire, Thelema, Tokara, and Zorgvliet. While right next door is the renowned Hillcrest Berry Orchard.
