Somerset West

The SouthernCross Guesthouse is situated in beautiful Somerset West, at the foot of the majestic Helderberg in a quiet yet central residential area with a marvellous view of the sea and the mountains. It is the starting point of South Africa’s famous Garden Route and the gateway to the Cape Winelands.

When the weather is clear you can see the Cape of Good Hope. In the shopping malls in and close to Somerset West you will find everything your heart desires. But this charming small town has a lot more to offer - for instance Vergelegen wine farm.
It is one of the most beautiful wine farms in the whole Cape-area and offers, apart from excellent wines, an extensive cultural programme. Enjoy classic concerts and a picnic under the Southern Cross.

The white beaches of Strand and Gordon’s Bay are a few minutes’ drive away.

Due to the ideal location of Somerset West all surrounding places and sights can be reached easily and quickly.
