Stony Point Penguin Colony and Cape Wines

At Stony Point Penguin Colony in Betty’s Bay, guests stroll along a wooden boardwalk through one of the largest breeding colonies of endangered African Penguins, offering close‑up views of the birds in their natural habitat without disturbing them. Visitors can expect to see penguins nesting, waddling, and fishing along the rocky shoreline, alongside other seabirds such as cormorants and gulls, all set against the dramatic coastal scenery. The atmosphere is peaceful and family‑friendly, with ocean views and the sound of waves adding to the experience, and a typical visit lasts about 30–45 minutes, allowing time for photography, observation, and a relaxed walk.

Guests will enjoy curated tastings in a modern, light‑filled lounge overlooking the Hemel‑en‑Aarde Valley. Creation is renowned for its innovative food pairings (chocolate, brunch, tapas, and multi‑course menus) alongside award‑winning wines. Expect elegant cool‑climate whites and reds with expressive fruit and minerality.
