Cape Town is a winter-rainfall region, so the temperatures will (hopefully) be between 16 - 27 degrees Celsius. It is advised to bring a jumper, as the weather in Cape Town is variable and often windy.
We always hire a car when travelling to Cape Town, but Uber works really well. Shuttles can be arranged when travelling from the airport to Stellenbosch, but if you make use of a SAT Nav, please make sure it is not avoiding toll roads. It is preferable to take the toll route. Please lock your valuables in the boot of your car.
