The Elgin Railway Market.
We are so lucky to be this close to gorgeous small towns with friendly folks and home made goodies!
Wonderful people!
The Elgin Market and Peregrin Padstal. The green scenery of Grabouw and fresh air and friendly people.
Nothing much to do. Quite boring but good for people who like serenity.
Beauty of the valley and the wine farms and farm stalls.

The magnificent dinner at Villa Exner Boutique Hotel. Each dish was a masterpiece A delight for the taste buds. One of the best meals I have ever had in my life...and Ive eaten all over the world! The hostess was accommodating, friendly and wished to help our vegan family member with modifying any dish to suit his needs...sublime!!!
The beautiful cycling and hiking trails in the area. We visited Trail's End for a planned cycle and it was fantastic! Thank you to, Pieter, who guided us through a beautiful mountain cycle.
