Just a 45 min drive up to Botha’s hill and you reach the Valley of a Thousand Hills with the Pot and Kettle restaurant. The views alone are worth a visit and you can enjoy a lazy Sunday roast overlooking the many hills below.

This trendy road is full of many different local restaurants and bars and is always bustling with people whether going to Starbucks for a coffee or Drop Kick Murphy’s for an ice cold beer, some delicious pub food and a great atmosphere. I recommend taking a walk down Florida road and finding your favourite hangout.

City advice
Getting around
The best is by car or uber
The public transport here is not the best, so I would suggest using uber or your own vehicle. Uber is very efficient and they usually arrive within 5 mins and are very reliable and safe.
