Beer pairs well with pizza they say. Find out how true that is at The Maker's Brew, in Barrydale, where these are the main options on the menu.

That's except for first Wednesdays though when curry makes an appearance via Lloyd's on Route 62.

Staying at the Malagas Hotel means you're a few strides away from the Breede River, and 30 minutes away from De Hoop Nature Reserve, where the Southern right whale comes to breed. There are also watersports and volleyball and, for the anglers, houseboats for hire to explore and fish the river.

Leave your t-shirt at an iconic pub, buy a gift, vintage item, or rustic furniture from a former restaurant and hike a trail in the middle of nowhere. This is just some of what you’ll find on Route 62 going to Barrydale.

PLUS, once in town, there’s a place where you can learn to roast your own coffee beans.

Make a choice between a 53km ultra trail distance or a 35km regular distance along the De Hoop Nature Reserve Whale Trail. The Merrell Whale of Trail offers colourful fynbos, scenic vistas and several rock pools along the way.

Plus, the organisers are also offering a relaxed multi-day event splitting the 53km distance into two parts.

Pack a light, a blanket, cooking utensils and a rain jacket. Just leave the tent behind because every night your accommodation will be a rustic hut that provides the bare necessities.

Get down and dirty on the Swellendam Hiking Trail where fynbos, rivers and rock pools are the norm for each of the five hiking days.

From hikes with animal sightings to self driven game drives you don’t need a 4x4 for. These are just some of the many African tourist experiences available in Swellendam. There is also African coffee to discover and, if your timing is right, whale watching to do.

Having one too many drinks isn't so bad when you're having a good time at Diesel and Crème. That’s because there are accommodation options just a walk away from the venue.

Plus, if you have a sweet tooth there are 21 milkshake flavours available, including chocolate & brownie, peppermint crisp, and cinnamon macadamia.
