Activities/Attractions: Paarl, some 60 km north-east of Cape Town, is one of the three oldest European settlements in South Africa where early explorers in the Cape area were in constant search for gemstones. Paarl, with its 75,000 inhabitants, is today the biggest town in the Cape Winelands.

Situated only 45 minutes from Cape Town, and close to the golden beaches of both the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, Paarl has the infrastructure of a small city without sacrificing its country atmosphere.

It is, like most of the towns in the region, a prosperous community with many well maintained mansions, pretty Cape Dutch houses, beautiful gardens and old oak trees. There are many wine estates situated in the valleys, which are amongst the best in the country. Paarl is the venue for a number of annual events such as:

• The Nederburg Wine Auction
  
• Festival of the Vine/Paarl Nouveau Wine Festival
  
• The Paarl Young Wine Show
  
• The Paarl Wine Route features many wonderful vineyards where you might simply while away the hours
  
• Then go on to enjoy a sumptuous meal at sunset, glass of wine in hand, taking a moment to survey the breathtaking and fabulous views
  

"In the heart of Paarl, the location was perfect and Kim's wonderful hospitality made our stay feel like we were at home. The rooms are very tastefully furnished and we had everything we needed provided to us. Thank you so much and look forward to staying here on our next visit."

"From the moment we arrived, somewhat wearily from the long drive we have been treated like royalty by your fantastic staff. This is beautiful and the room simply gorgeous. Last night we returned from an excellent day bird watching in the Tanqua Karoo to find a bottle of port waiting for us - lovely! This morning a birthday cake arrived with our breakfast for Vicky - this was simply wonderful! Thank you for a truly exceptional stay."

"Thank you so much for your hospitality. We enjoyed the comforts of Aster Palms. It was like our honeymoon suite after the wedding. We really enjoyed our stay for the past three and a half weeks."

"Extremely comfortable & friendly. We really enjoyed our stay and the breakfasts were fabulous - best smoothie in town!"
