Somerset West is a town in the Western Cape, South Africa. In Afrikaans language, it is called Somerset-Wes. It is a part of the City of Cape Town metropolitan municipality. Located in the Helderberg area which was earlier known as Hottentots Holland, Somerset West is 50 km east of Cape Town central city area and 10 km from Strand. Hottentots-Holland range of mountains surround the town.

Dutch soldiers came here and established a cattle post in 1672. There is Lourens River around which the town developed. This is a river that passes through Stellenbosch and the farm of Vergelegen. A subsidiary of a big mining company called Anglo American now owns the farm. The company has brought the farm back to its original historic form. A few wine types are still produced from here.
