Children tend to think of the fabled “pot of gold at the end of the rainbow” in the literal sense, but as adults, we soon realise that the metaphor relates to abstract loveliness that can be found in the most surprising settings.
In this sense, the small Overberg towns of Greyton and Genadendal are, indeed, the mythical booty. Located at the foot of the impressive Riviersonderend mountains and hemmed in by the Gobos River, this quaint village practically hums with charm. Visitors and local residents alike find it a slice of heaven on earth, with spectacular scenery, as well as excellent businesses and amenities.
Whether you need to send off seasonal greeting cards to distant relatives or return your holiday reads to the local library, you can do it in the village. Even if you’re keen to get some online work done while enjoying a cup of coffee at the local coffee shop, it can be done. The best part is that you can very likely sort all these things out on foot or by bike.
The town’s law enforcement officers ensure the safety of those in the surroundings, while the local municipal branch provides a town hall that can be used for a variety of purposes. In addition, the Greyton Tourism Bureau caters for visitors who are keen to experience more of this wonderful region, and this is where they can find all the information they need to plan unforgettable days. Simply put, from churches to clinics, Greyton and Genadendal are equipped with all you need for a convenient way of life.
Theewaterskloof is a lovely destination that gives you access to various little towns that provide the Overberg with its unique brand of charm. In the same way that the scenery differs as the terrain changes, each small village is unique. This makes for excellent road trips and wonderful weekend getaways, especially if you’re coming from Cape Town, which is a mere 90 minutes away.
For the lucky few, Greyton and Genadendal are home, and while they can enjoy their personal paradise anew every morning, that doesn’t stop them from hitting the road and visiting their Overberg neighbours.
