Next, it was time to head back towards Cape Town. On
the way, Annette Ashley had invited us to stay for the night at Olive Tree
Country House in Hermanus, which is owned by her family. This large house,
available for hire, is on the banks of the Onrus river and is situated on Glen
Fruin estate, just behind the Hemel and Aarde Village on the R43. This makes it
perfectly situated for visits to the wine country of the Hemel and Aarde valley
behind it or to the seaside resorts all along the coastline from Stamford to
the Bot River estuary. If you are interested, contact Michael Fox on
