Cape Town → Stellenbosch: key facts

Private transfer, Cape Town Airport (CPT) to Stellenbosch: the car (1–3 passengers) is €40 and the van (4–8) is €60, a set price for the vehicle that does not change at checkout. Expect 35 km on the road via R310 and N2; about 35 min off-peak, 35–45 min in rush hour.

Pickup: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the terminal your flight lands at (international or domestic arrivals, ground floor of the Central Terminal Building), after baggage reclaim and, on international flights, customs, holding a sign with your name. The booking includes flight monitoring and an hour of free waiting from touchdown; your bags are loaded for you.

Stellenbosch is a university town in the Cape Winelands, founded in 1679, known for oak-lined streets, Cape Dutch and Georgian buildings and the wine estates that surround it. Unlike the trips into Cape Town, the route heads east: the N2 towards Somerset West, then Baden Powell Drive (R310) north past the vineyards of the Helderberg and Polkadraai area, and Adam Tas Street into town. The distance is about 35 km, around 35 to 40 minutes; the R310 slows at junctions on weekday afternoons.

The historic centre around Dorp Street, Church Street and the Braak village green is easy to explore on foot, with museums, galleries and restaurants close together, and the university campus lies just to the north-east. Many visitors stay on wine estates outside town along the R44, the R310 over Helshoogte Pass towards Franschhoek, or the Polkadraai Road, where the drive ends at the estate's own entrance. Franschhoek is about 30 km further east, and Somerset West about 20 km to the south.

Public transport: No direct public transport from the airport to Stellenbosch: MyCiTi, the City of Cape Town bus network, normally runs route A01 Airport - Civic Centre from the MyCiTi Airport bus station right outside the main terminal, but its official page states that the airport service is temporarily suspended. Reaching Stellenbosch by public transport would mean travelling into Cape Town first and changing to a suburban train.
