Parker Cottage's Self Drive ToursThe Self Drive Tour is the ultimate and most rewarding way to explore, offering almost unlimited freedom, flexibility and a sense of adventure. The Western Cape boasts an excellent road infrastructure which opens up a country away from the city that is filled with natural splendour: completely unspoiled beaches, wine farms, magnificent mountains and wildlife parks.
Below you will find some suggestions from our side that will help you to make the most of your time in the fairest Cape. We will gladly offer our advice if you are planning your own trip.
This delightful tour winds its way through the heart of the Cape Winelands, where Cape Dutch architecture, rolling vineyards, fine wines and beautiful mountain ranges are the order of the day.
Of course a little wine tasting is also on the itinerary.

The Peninsula and Cape Point has the one of the most amazing arrays of wildlife (terrestial and marine), unspoilt sea side towns, vistas, food and wine that you could hope to find in one place. One day does not do it justice, but to miss it would be unthinkable !
