It's almost Easter, which means a long weekend and a chance to get out of town. With so many alternatives, picking a weekend getaway can be difficult. Not to worry, whether you are a couple, a family, or have pets, the Western Cape is a treasure trove of hidden gems. While Easter weekends bring out the best in everyone, whether it's spending quality time with family, taking advantage of the additional long weekend, or hunting down and devouring all of the delectable chocolate, we've found some of the top places to visit around Cape Town.
1. Lebanon Citrus Holiday Farm – Clanwilliam Dam

Clanwilliam Dam is ideal for waterskiing and wakeboarding, but it's also a great place to spend a relaxing weekend drinking beers around a braai. Labanon is a 650-hectare citrus and Rooibos tea farm located directly on the dam, complete with four rustic wooden houses and fifteen camp spots. The water level is somewhat low in April, but this does not diminish the grandeur of the surrounding mountains or the relaxing satisfaction of sunbathing with a book close to a large body of water.

Summerhill is a short drive from Worcester yet far enough away to take in the Breede Valley's Brandwacht mountains and easy access to the valley's Winelands. Despite being merely an hour's drive from Cape Town, you'll leave the metropolis behind. They have single, double, family, and pet-free rooms available. Their low prices ensure that you don't have to sacrifice comfort for a budget-friendly family vacation.
