With some great day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Stanford, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here should be Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary, Rivendell Wine Estate and Cold Mountain Vineyard. Located 60 miles away, Swellendam is another popular tourist destination. If you drop by, make sure you check out Bontebok National Park, Dutch Reformed Church Swellendam and Swellendam Hiking Trail.
