The town of Stanford is a small and picturesque place in the Overberg region of the Western Cape. It is situated just 30 minutes from the famous coastal town of Hermanus, so it is the perfect mix of mountain and coast, set to charm families on holiday or adventurers exploring the indigenous fynbos vegetation and mountain trails of the Overberg.
Those in search of a more relaxed and quiet spot than Walker Bay should follow the track down to Stanford and beyond, as some great surprises await them. Picturesque rolling hills covered in a mind-blowing variety of fynbos, hidden patches of indigenous forests, spectacular views over the dunes and a sense of wilderness can be found in the town of Stanford.
The friendly locals were once a farming community, so expect nothing less than charming hospitality and a fantastic stay in Stanford.
