Next we visit Saronsberg to view their impressive art gallery and sip on award winning wines. But pace yourself because you won't want to miss out on our next stop - Montpellier. A beautiful 300 year old venue where you follow the music through the forest to find their glass house serving up bubbles and pizza. They even have a kiddies pairing menu with 3 non-alcoholic beverages and 3 snacks. If you haven't opted for self-catering at Lemberg, be sure to try Daphne's for Dinner.

Restful or restless? Either book yourself in for a spa treatment at Vindoux Day Spa or be sure to book a horse-riding excursion for the family through @vrolikheidlandgoed (If you're looking for a romantic getaway for two, I would also recommended staying here). Whichever suits you, it's time to check-out and hit the road, but we're not done yet. Stop off in the nearby town of Riebeeck-Kasteel for wine and olive tasting at the award winning Kloovenburg. Enjoy!

A Day in Riebeek-Kasteel
Riebeek-Kasteel
Description
Opposite the Royal Hotel you’ll find what looks like a collection of old buildings in a small square - this is called Short Street and has a quaint selection of shops (think essential oils, a clay studio, leather products etc). And pop into Crytal & Twine for home decor. Another quaint stop is the Riebeek Valley Garden Centre for its lush atmosphere, stained glass windows, moss-covered stone walls and tinkling waterfalls. Be sure to try a pastry from the Au Bouchon Rouge run by a french chef.
