About Bellville
About 25 kilometres east of Cape Town's centre, toward Stellenbosch in the Tygerberg highlands, sits Bellville, which is part of the Cape Peninsula urban region. The city offers breath-taking views of the Stellenbosch Mountains, Kogelberg Range, and Winelands.
Not only is Bellville a sought-after residential area, industrial and commercial property is also in high demand. The industrial and commercial zones of Bellville have hosted numerous notable businesses and are still the first choice for influential business people on a national and international scale.

The main railway line connecting Cape Town and Johannesburg runs through Bellville, also home to the largest train marshalling yard in the Cape Province.
