Living mindfully is all about making well thought-out decisions about everything ...<br />
including – and perhaps most importantly – about your well-being. And after the last<br />
few months of stress, tension and uncertainty, we think taking some time out to restore<br />
mind, body and soul is well worth it.<br />
This Wellness Road Trip with Cape Country Routes, which goes from Paarl up the<br />
South Coast to the De Hoop Nature Reserve, sounds perfect.<br />
It starts in Paarl, with its range of cultural and historical attractions, then continues along<br />
the exceptionally scenic Cape South Coast, where the indigenous Cape fynbos meets<br />
the cold seas at the southernmost tip of Africa, and on to the De Hoop Nature Reserve.<br />
This is a natural wonder of unsurpassed beauty and a favourite destination for hikers,<br />
cyclists, bird watchers, whale watchers and seekers of natural beauty.<br />
For enhancing wellness, peace of mind, calm and tranquillity, spend one night at the<br />
Cascade Country Manor in Paarl with its beautiful views of the olive orchards, vineyards<br />
and mountains and indulge in a variety of treatments at the in-house spa or relax in the<br />
pool area, or take a walk to the waterfall. Other activities include wine tastings, wine<br />
tours and hiking.<br />
The next night is spent at The Arniston Spa Hotel, set in one of the Cape’s most exquisite<br />
locations next to an old fishing village, surrounded by pristine beaches and nature<br />
reserves. Here you can enjoy panoramic views of the unspoilt ocean and endless<br />
beaches, take long, relaxing beach walks, visit local wineries, indulge in soothing inhouse<br />
spa treatments, and much more.<br />
Your final two nights will be at the De Hoop Collection. The De Hoop Spa is an oasis of<br />
calm – one that offers the ultimate escape with a variety of revitalising beauty and body<br />
treatments ... think a range of relaxing massages to soothe the body and mind, as well<br />
as a selection of facials, manicures, pedicures and grooming services. Other activities<br />
