Getting There
MolenVliet Vineyards
Old Banhoek Road, Helshoogte Pass, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, 7612, South Africa
Cape Town & Stellenbosch
Cape Town is a beautiful, cosmopolitan city located at the foot of Table Mountain, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World. The city is known for its stunning beaches, award-winning food and wine, and its gorgeous Cape Dutch architecture. Offering a wide array of attractions, breathtaking sights and endless fun-filled activities, it is considered as one of the best destinations for vacations. Cape Town is also home to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years (which you can visit and tour)!
​
The Stellenbosch region, just 45 minutes east of Cape Town, combines old-world charm with breathtaking landscapes. From the preserved Cape Dutch architecture to the natural beauty of mountains and valleys, Stellenbosch offers a captivating experience for wine enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, and culture seekers alike. There are also many museums and art galleries in the city, as well as a variety of restaurants and shops.

Where to Stay
Please note:
Please book your stay in either Cape Town or Stellenbosch ASAP since the wedding is during peak season for the area!
Locations below are all very close to the wedding venue.
Overall, for 'normal' options we highly recommend checking out AirBnB's as well as booking.com.
If you're staying in Cape Town before/after the wedding, we highly recommend staying in either the "V&A Water Front" (shopping/touristy activities/restaurants) or "Sea Point" coined as the 'Miami of Cape Town' more for nightlife/ beach access/ restaurants. Both areas are within a 10 minute drive of one another.
Uber and Bolt (ride share) are readily available if you'd like to get around and are very affordable compared to the United States.
