About Stanford

Stanford's a chilled little Overberg town on the Klein River, just off the R43 between Hermanus (24 km) and Gansbaai (20 km), with the R326 linking up to Caledon and the N2 for the Cape Town run. Handy day trip from the Whale Coast towns, or a stop for those coming from further off like Franschhoek or McGregor. About 5 fast chargers nearby for the EV crowd. Don't miss the Birkenhead Brewery, first of its kind in the Overberg, brewing with water straight from the Klein River.
