Settle in for a few days and take time to explore all that this beautiful, heritage town can offer. With over 220 heritage sites, Graaff-Reinet has more national monuments than any other town in  South Africa.  Your exploration list can be gentle & endless...

​

The Valley of Desolation, Camdeboo National Park, Drostdy Hotel, Groot Kerk (built by the owner's forebears), Reinet House, Hester Rupert Art Museum, Anglo-Boer War Memorial, Urquhart House, Old Library, San & Khoi Memorial, Robert Subukwe's birthplace & the Old Powder Magazine War Memorial amongst others.

​

Restaurants compliment the old-world charm of the town: Our Yard, de Camdeboo at the Drostdy Hotel, Hello You etc.  Spoil yourselves with a steaming, delicious coffee in the courtyard at Marias & do yourselves a huge favour & taste our local tequila & rum.   

 

Travel up to Nieu-Bethesda (30-minute drive) to see The Owl House, the sculptures of Helen Martins, the Kitching Fossil Exploration Centre & Ganora, and hitch a donkey cart ride to tour around this quaint little town.

 

...and remember to take home a few antiques from Reinet Antiques & Lot 44 as well as some fine wine from the Camdeboo Wijnkamer.
