The Helderberg Area is visually stunning with the magnificent Hottentots Holland and Helderberg mountain ranges as a backdrop, winding down to the picturesque vineyards and scenic coastline with warm waters and white sandy beaches and is a tourist and photographers paradise. Situated a mere 45km from Cape Town, the Helderberg Region is made up of the towns of Gordon’s Bay, Lwandle, Macassar, Sir Lowry’s Pass, Somerset West and Strand and within easy driving distance of Stellenbosch, Hermanus, Cape Town International Airport and all other major tourist attractions in the Western Cape.

Cape Town, South Africa's Mother City, is just 30 minutes away from the Somerset West, and offers an enormous variety of cultural, sporting and eco-tourism attractions, which are drawing more and more international visitors every year. This worldwide interest is just one factor driving a sharp increase in coastal property prices. This rapid appreciation shows no sign of abating, and the boom is rippling out to the smaller seaside towns in the area. The Strand, in particular, is perfectly poised to benefit from this effect, and property pundits are confidently predicting a sharp increase in seafront property values here.
