Cycling through the Cape Columbine Reserve next to Paternoster was unforgetable.
Last year, I stayed at the Darling Lodge Guest House and it was a treat in all re spects, the perfect place to stay in flower season. Cycling through the Columbine Nature Reserve on Wow eBikes from Paternoster was an unforgettable experience. Thing is, these flowers are at their best between 10am and 3pm when it’s about or more. If it’s cold and miserable, the flowers sulk and stay closed, which is why it’s ideal to spend more than one day. Have a look at Cape Country Routes for accommodation in flower regions, but also activities. And get going if you are headed for the flowers because they have bloomed early and who knows how long they will be out. On this happy note, I am going to plant an African daisy in my pavement pots and see how long it lasts.
