One of the most sought-after towns in the Western Cape, the traditional farming community of Paarl, affords its residents a leisurely country lifestyle, while also being within easy reach of city life. Surrounded by vineyards and mountains, the third-oldest settlement in the Cape boasts spectacular architecture and views, and a wealth of wine estates on its doorstep.

The reputation of its schools is second to none, with Paarl Boys’ High School, Paarl Girls’ High school, Paarl Gimnasium, La Rochelle Girls’ High School, and the neighbouring Bridge House School in Franschhoek, all attracting top talent.
