There is an abundance of establishments like parks, galleries, and guest houses in Durbanville, which possess qualities of both the old and the new. This is no surprise because the town is in itself a mix of modern-day ease and Old World charisma. Although it is one of the oldest municipalities in Cape Town, it still does not fail to live in the present. Read on to learn the 5 best places to get intimate with Durbanville's two-fold charm. Rose Garden Roses have long been objects of symbolism from various cultures of the world since time immemorial. Here, they have a rose garden, which houses 500 varieties of roses, all of which are being bred in the park since 1979. If you would want to see different types of the world's most favorite flower, you will be glad to know that they have roses that are antiques, hybrids, and everything in between. Wine Valley Forget about picking up a bottle of wine from the supermarket and taking it home, clueless of how it tastes and where it came from. Durbanville's wine valley produces among the world's most wonderful Chardonnay, Cabernet, and Merlot varieties. Here, you can swish, sniff, and sip a sample of your choice of wine, while standing in a beautifully rustic vineyard. One good thing about the town's old wine district is that it is only 20 minutes away from the contemporary city center. Rust-en-Vrede Art Gallery This art gallery features both the established and emerging artists from all over the world. In Dutch, the name of the gallery means “Rest and Peace.” These are exactly what you will feel when you pore over artworks that will unravel the aesthetics of the world's different generations before your very eyes. Dark Chocolate Guest House Durbanville What better way to spend time in the old-fashioned, yet fresh town of Durbanville than to wake up in and go home to a guest house that embodies this city's duality? The hotel features Victorian-inspired rooms furnished with modern amenities. Upon hearing the name of Dark Chocolate Guest House Durbanville for the first time, one might wonder about what sense it makes. But then, dark chocolate has conquered every era in history. Surely, queens and peasants of centuries past loved it as much as we do now. It fits. Nature Reserve Everything started in 1966, when local residents found a rare 3-petaled blue flower, the Aristea Lugens, which made the townsfolk want to proclaim a reserve. Today, it holds about 130 plant and animal species, some of which are at risk of extinction. If you're in town, then go out of your comfortable guest house in Durbanville to visit them. This could be the last time that you will see these particular endangered and young species coexist.
