Boasting several shopping centres, Durbanville, north of Cape Town, is one of the fastest-growing towns in South Africa with a plethora of restaurants, pubs, guest houses and bed and breakfasts to suit your needs.
With picturesque avenues highlighting the Cape’s colonial history, Durbanville is noted for its historic buildings, rolling wine estates and stunning mountain views.
A beautiful combination of modern efficiency and old-world charm, Durbanville is the ideal place to stay for visitors looking to be close to Cape Town, while luxuriating in the peace offered by the scenic beauty of the town.
Just a few minutes’ drive will take you to an excellent shopping and entertainment centre, the Tygervalley Shopping Centre, while Durbanville is situated within minutes of the main highways into the Cape Town city centre and the Cape Boland towns, making it conveniently central for both business and leisure activities.
The Tygervalley Shopping Centre is a 20-minute drive to either the Cape Town International Airport, the start of the Stellenbosch wine route or the beaches of Blouberg, while Durbanville’s own internationally acclaimed wine route and the Durbanville Wine Valley is less than 3km down the road.
Durbanville remains a sought-after neighbourhood in which to put down roots; many a visitor has returned as a resident.
Places to see in Durbanville include: Rust en Vrede (an historic building); the Durbanville Nature Reserve, Onze Molen (a restored mill); King’s Court (a 1905 residential building); the All Saints’ Church; Dutch Reformed Church and the synagogue.
