VRYMANSFONTEIN–Suid Paarl

NOTE REVISED DATE: 25th April 2024

Come with us today to the stylish new venue in the Suid-Paarl area – this working almond farm is home to an unique offering in ‘the Winelands experience’.

There are two restaurants to choose from and early in the New Year we will do forward planning and let you have full details.

• The SCAPE menu offers a journey across the Mediterranean, featuring fresh seafood, succulent meats & an array of vibrant, seasonally inspired dishes.  The unique sharing-plate style menu offers seasonal dishes and specials!
• The TREE BAR under the shade of old oak trees in an alfresco setting is perfect for groups eating together.  They offer fresh & simple dishes, in an informal environment – think Lebanese style mezze, delicious finger food and refreshing salads!

Food circles in Cape Town are abuzz with this new venue!!

Traveltime Tours was formed in 2007 as a direct result of  associate Time Out Ladies Club wanting to experience tours longer than their normal 1 day per month, as well as being able to travel with partners and friends.
Traveltime has grown from strength to strength in the senior market and in 2017 will celebrate it’s 10th anniversary, with Time Out (15 years).

Traveltime focuses on visiting interesting places throughout South Africa and Namibia (soon to include  international destinations) with the motto “Friendship & Fun”. We only use luxury air conditioned coaches and superior accommodation and restaurants, all of which are checked by us before our guests join our tours.

We always strive to select the most interesting venues and destinations and to negotiate the best service, accommodation and meals in the current economic climate. We source places that are generally not on the tourist route and this allows you to meet the people who live in these areas and experience their way of life.

Our tours fit into the range of 1 to 11 days. Some of our past destinations include:

The above tours are a small selection of the over 120 tours conducted to date (February 2017).

2024 FLOWER SEASON

Planning Stage-Subject to confirmation

Traveltime has visited the Cape Floral Kingdom for 16 years now, concentrating on the West Coast from Cape Town to Springbok and the Northern Cape into Nieuwoudtville. The West Coast National Park (Postberg Flower Reserve) always provides a tapestry of colour, even when other areas are slow in blooming.
Flower Tours should be number 1 on your bucket list!

We offer a personalised service and only travel in small groups (maximum 14 passengers), except for the day trip into Postberg Flower Reserve, where we, historically, have used a 44-seater coach. For overland tours, accommodation is hand picked and we make sure that all meals are of the highest quality.

The tours listed below are the only Flower Tours we offer. Whilst the itinerary is essentially the same each year, (tried and tested), we do not repeat these on different dates over the Flower Tours Season. Where some variation in choice or dates is needed, we include other flower tours on our website, which are offered by our own service providers.

Scroll through our offering and confirm your interest in receiving a priced itinerary on any of the listed tours, once available.

Within driving distance of one of South Africa’s busiest cities, lies a region of contrasts and wonder. The Overberg has rugged mountain ranges, fynbos, rolling wheat and canola fields, and splendid coastal vistas. It is for you to reflect, discover and maybe even have the adventure of a lifetime.

The Overberg stretches over a vast area:

• Villiersdorp to Swellendam in the North,
• Cape Hangklip to Cape Infanta in the South,
• Gordons Bay to the West and
• Heidelberg to the East.

We have selected a cross section of towns to visit in our 4 day tour and will be making our base at the 4-star rated High Season Farm in the Hemel en Aarde  valley, near Hermanus.

We previously enjoyed a 4 night stay here, in 2015.

• Boat based whale watching (optional extra).
• Lunch at Moggs Country House
• Wine tasting in the Hemel-en-Aarde Valley
