Somerset West is about 50 km east of Cape Town. It sits at the foot of Helderberg mountain and close to the winelands that are so famous for their tasty drops of wine. With the mighty Indian Ocean at its doorstep, Somerset West is a relaxed spot away from the hustle and bustle of the big town. Named after Sir Charles Somerset in 1819 it is a commercial and residential town but has kept its village style atmosphere. The whole region is known for its gastronomy, fauna and flora and historic heritage. Visitors won't get bored with the range of activities offered in and around Somerset West and if all that is too much, they can always chill out at the beaches of False Bay only 6km away.
With the gentle sloped surrounding mountains and the Ocean near their doorstep, property owners can enjoy the feeling of luxury that comes as a by product of living in Somerset. New developments offer stylish and luxurious living for a bargain compared with Europe or the Americas. Alternatively property owners can choose to buy extra land and build their dream home to enjoy the lifestyle this area has to offer.
