"We love Cape Agulhas and the Overberg. What is not to like? We have beautiful mountains, an ocean full of whales, canola fields, apple blossoms and an old world charm that immediately sets the pace of any traveller into deluxe holiday mode." ~ Country love Picture fertile hills engulfed by towering steel-blue mountains, a stretch of ocean that brags a dozen shades of blue capable of taking your breath away,
