Day 1
On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you collect
your 2.0L Ford Focus car from our depot and depart
immediately for your hotel. The 4* Cape Town Lodge is situated
on the fringe of the central business district of Cape Town
and is within walking distance of many major tourist attractions.
The hotel has earned a fine reputation for friendly hospitality
and outstanding service. Depending on what time your
flight gets in you may want to explore the Cape Town Waterfront
make use of your two complimentary tickets
to the Aquarium. Overnight Cape Town
Lodge
Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 2
After an early breakfast at Cape Town Lodge, we suggest heading
off to the Clovelley Country Club for a round of golf. Tucked
away in the lovely Clovelly Valley, surrounded by golden sand
dunes, Clovelly Country Club is one of the Cape Peninsula’s
hidden treasures. Situated on the peninsula’s narrow strip
of land between Fish Hoek and the warm waters of False Bay
to the east, and Chapman’s Peak and the cold Atlantic Ocean
to the west, it is a challenging, aesthetically-pleasing and
immaculately kept course. Opened in 1924, the course has excellent
fairways and POA Bent grass greens. Featuring a very rural
atmosphere with plenty of trees and rich birdlife, the course
is surrounded by towering mountain ranges and sand dunes.
Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 3
After an early breakfast at Cape Town Lodge, we suggest
heading off to the Royal Cape Golf Club for more golf. The
history of the Royal Cape Golf Club dates back to the turn
of the century; however, the existing course was only finalised
in the early 1930s. The course sprawls across the Cape Flats,
with the holes well spaced-out and divided by trees, thick
bush and scrub. A large dam comes into play on the third,
fourth and fifth holes making this a somewhat watery corner
of the course. All in all, it is a very demanding course
with narrow fairways, strategically placed bunkers and fast
greens. Several times host to the SA Open, Royal Cape Golf
Club is certainly one of the best tests of golf in the country. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 4
After an early breakfast at Cape Town Lodge we suggest beginning
your journey to Oudtshoorn. Selftours would recommend travelling along
‘Route 62’, the longest wine route in the world. De Opstal
is situated in the picturesque Schoemanshoek Valley, 12 km
from Oudtshoorn en route to the Cango Caves. The Lodge consists
of original farm buildings, circa 1830, stables, wagon house,
farmhouse, share cropper’s house, garden and pool rooms all
restored to provide comfort, with garden entrances, air-conditioning,
fireplaces, mini bar and TV with MNet. Cosy with intimate
bathrooms. Relax in the salt water swimming pool set in lush
gardens and enjoy traditional dishes in the rustic restaurant.
A working ostrich farm offering farm tours. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 5
After breakfast at De Opstal, we suggest heading to the
Cango Caves and doing a tour of this fascinating cave system,
after this you are free to visit any attraction that may
be of interest to you. After a scenic 2 hour drive to Knysna,
you can check into the Knysna Hollow Hotel. Your hotel is
set on secluded old country estate near Knysna's famous
lagoon and offers comfortable bedrooms. The main manor house,
built in a bygone era, has high pressed ceilings and yellowwood
floors and houses the restaurant and adjoining bar, where
fine cuisine and Cape wines are enjoyed in a relaxed environment. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.
Overnight Knysna Hollow

Day 6
After an early breakfast at Knysna Hollow, we suggest heading
off to Plettenberg Bay Country Club for a round of golf.
Plettenberg Bay Country Club is an integral part of the
social fabric of Plettenberg Bay. Whilst members regularly
enjoy the privileges of the club and take their golf seriously,
holidaymakers and tourists are welcome to play the eighteen-hole
golf course as well as enter the Wednesday, Thursday and
Saturday competitions. The entire course is a proclaimed
Nature Reserve and playing the course is quite therapeutic,
no traffic noise, no intrusive houses - instead there are
lush fairways, majestic trees and an abundance of birdlife.
While the course is not long, driving accuracy is essential
for dealing with the Piesang River, which meanders through
the course. During the year 2002 all greens were upgraded
to U.S.G.A. specifications, new bunkers and water features
were introduced lifting the quality of the course to a new
level, up there with the best. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.
Overnight Knysna Hollow

Day 7
After an early breakfast at Knysna Hollow, Selftours suggest heading
off to Fancourt Country Club for today’s golf. Bramble Hill
is the fourth course at Fancourt, but it has a character
all of its own. Built in response to a need for an 18-hole
facility that would be accessible to the community of George
and surrounding areas, Bramble Hill is truly a public golf
course in the sense that there are no restrictions on who
can play at any given time. Bramble Hill offers a golf experience
that is relaxed and friendly, without any “private country
club” intimidation! The course itself is challenging enough
to test the most proficient golfer, yet it is sure to be
an enjoyable round even for beginners.
Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 8
After breakfast at Knysna Hollow, you will have the opportunity
to see any last sights you would like to take in, in Knysna.
After this it is time to drive through the Garden Route back
towards Cape Town. Shortly before Cape Town you check into
the Spier Hotel in Stellenbosch, the heart of the Cape Winelands.
Spier Estate just outside Stellenbosch in the heart of the
world-renowned Cape winelands, is only 15 minutes from the
beaches of Gordon's Bay and the Strand and a quick 30-minute
drive from central Cape Town. Spier offers many entertainment
and leisure options for both the relaxed and the robust. Meticulous
renovation has restored the gracious Cape Dutch buildings
to their former glory and today the scenic surroundings set
the stage for a celebration of the finer things in life. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.

Day 9
After breakfast at The Spier Hotel, you head off on the estate
to the De Zalze Golf Course for a round of golf. De Zalze
Country Club opened in the latter part of 2000. The golf course
forms part of the splendid multi-faceted Spier estate and
the Peter Matkovich design has added another quality product
to the estate. This is a course that immediately received
high praise for its layout in the midst of working vineyards
and orchards. The Stellenbosch mountain range acts as a constant
backdrop, adding to the reputation the course has gained for
its scenic surrounds. Since its opening much has been done
to mature the course to perfection. Especially the recently
opened new club house has received high praise from all who
visit it. Board
basis is Bed & Breakfast.
