Delightful gem of a Karoo town, with well kept houses and interesting gardens, olive orchards, vineyards, fruit trees. Typical Prince Albert "holbol" gable adorns many houses. Many resident artists and writers of international stature contribute to the unusual flair of the village. Good restaurants, Saturday market, coffee shops and friendly locals who wave at every passing car. Spectacular position at the foot of the mighty Swartberg, a World Heritage Site. World class star gazing, especially in winter with resident astronomer. Perfect for outdoor afficionados or those wishing to chill away city stress. Just 2 hours from major airport George.
