The Franschoek/Stellenbosch area is certainly on our radar. It also appears easily drivable from the airport after our long flight from Amsterdam, where we are stopping for a few days on the way. It is looking like we will have 4 nights in the Cape Town/Garden Route area before flying to Namibia for 3 days around the Sossusvlei dunes. I just have to moderate the steering wheel time to accommodate my wife.
Thanks for the suggestions. Any quasi-affordable hotels? Unfortunately it seems that we will be there just at the tail end of high season so the nice places ain't cheap.
