Discover the best things to do in tulbagh
Tulbagh is a small valley town in the Cape Winelands, about 90 minutes from Cape Town by car. The valley has wine farms, mountain trails, a weekly Parkrun through the farmlands, good restaurants, and enough open countryside to make a weekend feel twice as long. Couples tend to come for the wine farms and the quiet. Families find the farm animals, the pool, and the Saturday morning Parkrun more than enough to fill a few days. If you are looking for somewhere to stay while you explore, Duikersdrift has four self-catering farm cottages in the valley – each with a private wood-fired hot tub and mountain views – from R2,088 per night. Book directly with us and pay 10% less.
