The Beautiful Winelands
|
|
|
Paarl is situated in the magnificent Cape Winelands. Close to both Stellenbosch and Franschhoek it
is in the heart of the wine producing region. Surrounded by mountains, rivers and vineyards the scenery is spectacular. Benefiting
from a warm climate the lifestyle is superb. Kick back, enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy excellent food from the gastronomic
capital of South Africa.
Paarl is just 30mins from Cape Town - the heart of the Western Cape. It truly is one of the most beautiful cities in
the world framed by the magnificent Table Mountain and the ocean. With fantastic beaches, restaurants and culture, Cape Town
is a true cosmopolitan city. There is incredible wildlife to be seen both on the land - Rock Dassies, Antlelope, Baboons,
and at sea - Whales, Seals and Great White Sharks. The Western Cape really does have it all and is somewhere you will want
to return time and time again.

Paarl History:
Paarl gets its name from a huge granite rock that sits above the town. The origins
of the name Paarl come from this rock which has been compared in splendour to that oof Ayers Rock in Australia. It was named
'Parel' meaning Pearl in Dutch.
Paarl is the third oldest European Settlement in South Africa. Today
it is home to a very culturally diverse community, the product of its unique history.
The people of Paarl are
descendants of the Khoisan, African-, and Eastern slaves, Dutch, French Huguenots, Jewish immigrants from Eastern Europe,
Italian Prisoners of War, and Xhosa migrant labourers.
Today Paarl is a thriving town with
a new shopping mall close to Boschenmeer on the outskirts of the town. The town itself still retains all of its charm and
Cape Dutch architecture with magnificent gardens. Surrounded by vineyards vistiors are never far from another wine tasting
or fabulous restaurant
