    A nice 'green' combination between Cape Town and the Garden Route.

    Bon Cape for it grows its grapes organically and produce South Africa's only wines with Michelangelo stars (see www.boncaporganic.co.za).

    And Soekershof Walkabout, Mazes and Botanical Gardens because also this farm does not apply fertilisers and other chemicals in the cultivation of its unique collection of plants. Above all this place is a huge leg stretching entertainment area with an educational twist.

    Bon Cap: Eilandia (between Worcester and Robertson) See: www.boncaporganics.co.za
    Soekershof Walkabout: Klaas Voogds West (between Robertson and Ashton/Montagu also along Route62)
