Relax in a private compartment on a steam train journey to Elgin Railway Market, nestled in the heart of the Western Cape's picturesque wine country.
Enjoy a steam train journey in a private compartment from Cape Town and take in the sights of Sir Lowry's Pass, before enjoying the hustle and bustle of Elgin Railway Market.
Your picturesque adventure commences at the break of dawn from the Harbour Bridge platform, where you can board your vintage steam locomotive and relax in the comfort of your own private compartment. To ensure a punctual departure at 08:05 AM, it is recommended to arrive between 07:00 and 07:30 AM. Sit back and unwind on the steam train as it embarks from the platform, traversing the tracks with the magnificent Cape landscape unfurling outside, making its way towards the imposing Sir Lowry's Pass and finally reaching the idyllic Elgin Valley. During your three-hour journey, you can either relish the scenic views from the privacy of your compartment, or treat yourself to some snacks and drinks from the onboard bar. In no time, you'll find yourself arriving at the unmatched Elgin Railway Market, a haven of diverse local merchants peddling an array of goods ranging from farm-fresh produce, beer, wine, and cider to bespoke handcrafted art and clothing. The lively tunes of a live band accompany your experience as you savour, sip, and browse through this bustling market, bidding a bittersweet farewell before boarding the steam train once again. The return journey will see you arrive back in Cape Town at around 06:15 PM.
