Travel Note
Stellenbosch is 45 mins from Cape Town and 30 minutes from the airport. Hiring a car is relatively inexpensive and a great way to explore the region. Just note that drivers in South Africa 'don't err on the side of caution!' Taxis and Ubers are plentiful and cheap. If you prefer to use a taxi please ask your accommodation for their preferred taxi company. It is not advised to hail a taxi in the street.
