A short one-hour drive from Cape Town over the spectacular Sir Lowry’s Pass lies the Cape Overberg’s
magnificent mountain ranges, fynbos (Cape Flora), rolling wheat, canola fields, and coastal towns full of delightful
stories and secrets. Its coastlines are spectacular, the back-roads wind across the countryside as they do in a
country song, and whale watching is as good as it gets.
The adventurous get their kicks in a variety of activities such as shark-cage diving in Gansbaai, deep-
sea fishing, abseiling and quad-biking. The town of Hermanus (The Whale Capital) is home to the only whale
crier in the world! It is no surprise that people flock here to catch a glimpse of these enormous, beautiful creatures.
Wander down the Hermanus Wine Route to find out why its wines boast so many awards.
The historical, beautiful town of Swellendam, the “Berry Capital of South Africa”, surrounded by three nature
reserves is a wonderful place for hikers, bikers and bird watchers. You can experience a breathtaking drive through
the scenic Tradouw Pass to the village of Barrydale, known for its community of artists and musicians.

CAPE OVERBERG ATTRACTIONS, 2013-2017
16
9. Film
The Cape Overberg stretches from the Hottentots-Holland mountains in the west, to Swellendam in the east. In the north
it reaches as far as the Riviersonderend Mountains. One of the most scenic drives in the world, Clarence drive or locally
known as the R44, is a popular setting especially for vehicle commercials. The same goes for the gravel roads through
the forests in Elgin Valley Grabouw. In Gansbaai the presence of wildlife and documentary film crews are almost constant
as it is the home of the great white shark. There are a few hot spots in the Overberg that host regular film shoots and still
plenty of hidden gems to be explored. Hermanus, Pringle Bay, Kleinmond, Gansbaai, Elgin and Botriver are amongst the
most popular. As is picture-perfect Arniston.
Municipal properties will require a permit available at the local town council. Rates are dependent on the size of the crew
and duration of the shoot. For road closures the traffic department needs to be involved. Filming in nature reserves and
on beaches requires an ECO guide and environmental impact study with your application. When filming on private property
or in an estate, you will need landowners’ permission and permission from the governing body.
