It’s not news that times are tight and cash-strapped South Africans are having to cut costs here and there. For many, this may mean saying goodbye to family trips, romantic breakaways and travel adventures with friends.

Thankfully, a group of top tourist attractions and venues on the Cape West Coast have teamed together to create a special West Coast Way deal that offers fantastic value for those wanting to escape the city for a much-needed break that doesn’t break the bank.
It’s perfect timing too, with the midyear school holidays underway.
The Cape West Coast enjoys more sunny days throughout the year than any other coastline in South Africa. This, plus the fact that it’s literally on Cape Town’s doorstep, makes it the perfect destination for a getaway.
Pay for two, stay and play for three; until 31 July you can enjoy a free extra night on the Cape West Coast with the West Coast Way 3 for 2 deal.
Book for two weeknights at any of the participating venues and you will get a third consecutive weeknight free.
Participating venues include: Thali Thali Game Lodge; The Lodge at Atlantic Beach; Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort; !Khwa ttu; Eagles Nest At Arendzicht in Lamberts Bay; Vensterklip and the Crayfish Trails in Elands Bay; as well as a bumper offering in Darling with Disa Lodge; Darling Lodge; Daisy Darling; Lookout Darling; The White House; Bees Knees B&B and Maison De L’amor.
‘This 3 for 2 special offer allows visitors to extend their visit to the Cape West Coast – a free extra day to get out there and explore all that this wonderful part of the world has to offer,’ says Carmen Lerm, founder and CEO of West Coast Way.
‘We are very pleased to offer South Africans this 3 for 2 special offer as we realise that travel is one area that suffers during tough economic times. This offer allows people can get out and about making memories and gathering experiences.’
All of the participating venues form part of West Coast Ways’ ‘Road Trip With The Most Twists’, a unique self-drive road trip made up of six circular sightseeing routes, including the Berg, Foodie, Cultural, Wild, scenic Tractor, and Cape Way Routes – all of which are designed to showcase the many fun and exciting attractions and activities that are on offer on the Cape West Coast and inland areas.
‘A road trip is undoubtedly one of the best ways to explore an area – personal, intimate travel experiences in your own time and at your own pace. Our West Coast Way sightseeing routes allow visitors to mix and match stops along the various different routes – tailor-making a road trip that perfectly suites your time constraints, budgets, interests,’ explains Lerm.
Things to see and do on the Cape West Coast
The list of things to see and do whilst exploring the West Coast Twist is seemingly endless.
There’s plenty for those looking for active pursuits and adventure: go on a guided seashore walk on the Crayfish Trail in Lambert’s Bay or visit the Gannet colony; go zip-lining at the Piekenierskloof Mountain Resort; take a game drive or some archery lessons at the Thali Thali game reserve. You can also play golf at The Lodge at Atlantic Beach, go birdwatching, go sailing, or do some fishing.
For something more relaxed, do a spot of wine tasting at many different wine cellars such as Groote Post or taste beers at Darling Brew craft brewery. If it’s culture you’re after, you can learn all about the San and do a San Guided Tour at !Khwa ttu, and there’s a myriad of museums like the Darling Museum to visit in the area.
With over 101 things to see and do in the area, there’s something for everyone on SA’s Road Trip with the Most Twists and it’s easy to see why you ideally need a few days to explore the area.
