West Coast Ostrich Farm

It surprises me how many people that live in Cape Town don't know about the West Coast Ostrich Farm - on the N7, about 30 minutes from the CBD/15 minutes from Table View.


On a sunny, wind-less day it is so nice and relaxing to go and sit up there... I say "up there" as it is on a hill top with magnificent views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic.  There is a nice restaurant (with a fireplace inside during winter), a jungle gym for the kiddies, Scratch Patch, curio shop, ostrich museum and ostrich tours (where you'll see ostriches of course, a few huge tortoises, a turtle and some crocs too)!  I'd really recommend making a turn there, have some lunch, browse around, have a few bottles of wine, relax and unwind.


Oh yes, there is also the smallest fully-grown ostrich in the world there which has recently made it into the Guinness Book of World Records (you can see in the one picture below his size vs Guy)
