With some terrific road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Swellendam, 25 miles away, has to offer. Bontebok National Park ought to be high up on your list here. Dutch Reformed Church Swellendam and Swellendam Hiking Trail are awesome attractions too. Locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Stanford, 60 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Panthera Africa Big Cat Sanctuary. (But we’re also big fans of Rivendell Wine Estate and Cold Mountain Vineyard.)
