Places of Interest

Surrounded by the Crocodile Ramble and bordering on the Magalies Meander, Monchique offers access to a host of activities in close proximity.  Visit Arts and Crafts stalls, go buggy or quad bike racing.  Visit the splendor of the Sterkfontein Caves, spend a lazy day out in the fresh air trout fishing (ask us to pack a picnic basket for you), or take a drive to Hartesbeespoort Dam and indulge in a paragliding trip over the  still waters or float away on a hot air balloon ride.  A visit to the Elephant Sanctuary is an absolute must and a visit to one of the local game reserves will give you “The true feeling of Africa”.  Take your picnic basket and spend the day at the Botanical Gardens and view the protected Black Eagles in full flight.   Visit the local glass factory shops and candle makers (they both offer a wonderful selection of gifts and mementos).  

If shopping is your passion there are a number of up market, modern shopping centers in close proximity, Jenny will give you directions.  If you would like to go out for a meal with a difference, we have a number of excellent restaurants in the area that we can recommend, but we still say our cuisine is of the best on offer in the area.
