Take a
WELLNESS
road trip in the Cape
Watching whales, relaxing beach walks
and an outdoor massage. Book us in!
Living mindfully is all about making
well thought-out decisions about
everything ... including – and perhaps
most importantly – about your wellbeing.
And after the last few months
of stress, tension and uncertainty, we
think taking some time out to restore
mind, body and soul is well worth it.
This Wellness Road Trip with Cape
Country Routes, which goes from
Paarl up the South Coast to the De
Hoop Nature Reserve, sounds perfect.
It starts in Paarl, with its range of
cultural and historical attractions, then
continues along the exceptionally
scenic Cape South Coast, where the
indigenous Cape fynbos meets the
cold seas at the southernmost tip of
Africa, and on to the De Hoop Nature
Reserve. This is a natural wonder of
unsurpassed beauty and a favourite
destination for hikers, cyclists, bird
watchers, whale watchers and seekers
of natural beauty.
For enhancing wellness, peace of
mind, calm and tranquillity, spend
one night at the Cascade Country
Manor in Paarl with its beautiful views
of the olive orchards, vineyards and
mountains and indulge in a variety
of treatments at the in-house spa or
relax in the pool area, or take a walk to
the waterfall. Other activities include
wine tastings, wine tours and hiking.
The next night is spent at The
Arniston Spa Hotel, set in one of
the Cape’s most exquisite locations
next to an old fishing village,
surrounded by pristine beaches and
nature reserves. Here you can enjoy
panoramic views of the unspoilt
ocean and endless beaches, take
long, relaxing beach walks, visit local
wineries, indulge in soothing in-house
spa treatments, and much more.
Your final two nights will be at the
De Hoop Collection. The De Hoop
Spa is an oasis of calm – one that
offers the ultimate escape with a
variety of revitalising beauty and body
treatments ... think a range of relaxing
massages to soothe the body and
mind, as well as a selection of facials,
manicures, pedicures and grooming
services. Other activities include an
eco river cruise, walks through herds
of eland and bontebok to the ocean,
a visit the Cape vulture colony and
whale-watching (in season).
The Wellness Road Trip Tour costs R4
390 a person sharing, on a bed and
breakfast basis. The rate excludes
all other meals, entrance fees and
activities. Valid until September 30,
2020. Booking is essential, and you’ll
