Weather of Western Cape

Around here, we like to say it’s “never too hot, never too cold, and we are always blessed with blue skies.”

Depending on what the weather is like where you live, you might judge it a bit differently - but we truly feel so lucky to live in this beautiful corner of the Cape. We get the legendary “South-Easter” wind, sure, but since our place sits a bit higher up at the foot of the Helderberg mountain, we are nicely sheltered from the worst of it. The summer days get beautifully hot, but thankfully it’s a comfortable, dry heat that doesn't exhaust you.

Every now and then we’ll get a quick shower in spring or autumn, but it’s never a total washout. It's just the perfect amount of water to feed the earth and keep our garden flowers blooming non-stop between September and April.
