Whether it is admiring lighthouses or whale watching along the western coast, sipping wine in the majestically beautiful Breedekloof Wine Valley, kayaking in Three Anchor Bay or riding an ostrich, Cape Town and its environs truly does offer something for everyone. Cape Town is the perfect mix of modern luxuries and natural beauty--if you're bored while touring this area in your motorhome rental then you're doing something wrong.Drive west to find beautiful sandy beaches, gorgeous national parks and interesting caves to explore. If you drive the Cape Garden Route you can also walk amongst the tree canopies or surf. If awe-inducing natural beauty is what you're after you also won't want to miss Table Mountain and several of the mountain passes in the parks. Cape Town also offers several hot springs and spas to help you relax after a long day of beach combing or hiking.
If culture and gastronomy are what you're after don't fret, there is lots for you, too. On your way to your wine tasting why not stop for a spot of theatre in Darling and some delicious food in Moorreesburg? If you're a chocoholic then head straight to Tulbagh for your fix. Want some adventure in your food? If you drive the Cape Garden Route you will have the opportunity to try everything from ostrich eggs to crocodile steaks! To experience lively Cape Town culture try the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront (the area's most visited tourist attraction it boasts shopping, vitality and great food), bar hop on Long Street and enjoy a drink as the sun sets. On weekends head to Mzoli in Gugulethu where you can join in the local barbeque (braai) culture.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
