Between Redhill and Cape Point is Plateau Road stretching from the west of the Peninsula to the east along the base of the Mountains. It is the perfect drive to take, especially if the wind is blowing or you are feeling a little lazy.

You can you take a guided tour around the Ostrich Farm or visit the well-known Good Hope Nursery where you can meander around the landscaped indigenous nursery looking out across the Cape Peninsula National Park and the oceans beyond.

Stone carvers boast their wares at the fork just outside Scarborough at the entrance to the Cape Farm House. We encourage everyone to walk around the stone park just to see the fascinating sculptures. Whilst there, perhaps pop into the Cape Farm House for a bite and refreshments under the Oak trees and magnificent surroundings, and then browse around the little shop for some interesting presents.

The scenery is breathtaking. There is no need for us to sing any more praises for the spectacular Cape Point Nature Reserve where one can indulge in the views, fynbos, space and ruggedness of the place. Local residents visit the park regularly as the walks are so enjoyable.
One thing I can personally recommend is to experience the power of the wind along the walkway below the lighthouse and watch the Cormorants fly on thermals.
