Located in the Cape Winelands, Rawsonville is a small wine growing and farming town that is situated along the Breede River Valley in the Western Cape. This rich valley is surrounded by beautiful vineyards and wine farms that offer a peaceful escape from the city at the foot of the Du Toitskloof Mountain.
Rawsonville is nearby a variety of wine farms and accommodation that offer excellent retreats for visitors wanting to stay overnight. Visitors can indulge in wine tasting, fresh local cuisine, fishing, hiking, birding, biking and spa treatments.
Spring time offers the best time for birding and you can expect to see rare birds from Dwarsberg regions such as the Cape Siskin, Orange-breasted Sunbird and Victorin’s Warbler to name a few. The Goudini Spa and holiday resort is a popular escape with Cape locals, and draws thousands of visitors every year to its natural hot springs.
Rawsonville’s main charm is its idyllic countryside atmosphere surrounded by beautiful countryside views. It makes a fantastic weekend getaway in South Africa for city dwellers and travellers alike.
