Bellville was originally known as the 12-mile stone (or the 12-mile post) owing to its distance from the centre of Cape Town. It was the old resting place for travellers moving between Stellenbosch and the city.
With beautiful views of wine farms, the city and the mountains, Bellville is still a perfect stop for travellers. It’s full of excellent restaurants and interesting places to visit. Also, it’s right next to everything you require while on holiday - from the airport and shopping malls to gorgeous beaches and the famous Cape Winelands.
With so many exciting things for you to see and do in and around Bellville, your simplest option to get to it all is in a rental car.

The Durbanville Wine Route is more about quality than quantity when it comes to farms. Each one offers something unique to visitors. As you journey through the rolling hills of the Tygerberg area, the soil changes, allowing each farm to create something different in terms of the texture and nose of their wines.
In the heart of the Welgemoed Valley lies the Bellville Golf Course, which boasts spectacular scenery and 18 challenging holes to play. After a day out on the greens, you’ll be able to sit back and relax at the bar or restaurant and enjoy an incredible view of the lush, rolling landscape and the Hottentots Holland mountain range in the distance. Or, if you want to take your own clubs, make sure your Bellville car hire choice has enough boot space.
Nestled right next to the suburb of Bellville, this little nature reserve is a lovely shot of green on the developed slopes of Tygerberg Hills. Offering beautiful views of the city, hiking trails to explore and a wide variety of birds and small mammals, Tygerberg Nature Reserve is a special place for a day out while on holiday.
The Bellville Velodrome is a multipurpose venue where a variety of sporting events and music concerts are held. Originally built in 1997, the Velodrome was part of Cape Town’s bid to host the Olympic Games. During your stay in the northern suburbs, it’s always worth checking to see what exciting events are happening there.
Only a 7km drive from Bellville is Table Bay and miles of beautiful white sandy beaches. Here you’ll find perfect spots for swimming, sunbathing, surfing and many more outdoor activities.
A wonderful day out can be had for the whole family at the Tygerberg Zoo. It’s the only zoo in the Western Cape and boasts a variety of endangered and rare wildlife. You won’t find many of the larger animals here but there is still plenty to see and do. If your children want an up-close-and-personal experience, they can visit the farmyard where there are many furry friends to pet.
