“Crowned as South Africa’s Dorp van die Jaar 2021 on the magazine show, Kwela!”
Prior to Greyton’s establishment in 1854, the verdant plains and forested ravines of the area were home to the Hassequas Khoikhoi tribe who had their kraals near the Gobos River.
The tribe's herds of cattle and sheep amassed thousands and were the reason why Ensign Schriver of the Castle of Good Hope was sent here in the late 1600s to barter with their head man, Captain Stoffel Koekson. So rich did Koekson become from this bartering that he eventually took his people to live in the Boschmanskloof, where he built them mud-brick houses, the foundations of which still lie under the Boschmanskloof’s historic houses.
Much of Greyton’s charm is owed to its Cape vernacular architectural heritage, which has remained largely intact. The village is an extremely popular weekend and holiday destination for visitors who enjoy its combination of old-world charm and modern conveniences.
Greyton Tourism works together with all entities that are involved in empowering Greyton as South Africa’s first transition town.
The term transition town refers to grassroots community projects that aim to increase self-sufficiency. This being said, the community of Greyton came together to build a resilient, sustainable village in which everybody enjoys security from the rising costs of fuel, food and other essentials.
One initiative to uplift and empower the Greyton community is the Valley Food Gardens project. Read more, here:
