At just 90 minutes from Cape Town, Greyton is an ideal place to enjoy a weekend getaway.

There are many activities, including hiking (the famous Boesmanskloof Trail to McGregor starts – or ends – in the Greyton Nature Reserve), mountain-biking for the whole family and horse riding. Explore the nearby missionary village of Genadendal or rent a bike and meander around Greyton.

Greyton is an artists’ mecca … and foodies are catered for too. There are several wonderful restaurants, as well as interesting little shops selling everything from cheese graters to fabulous handmade chocolates.

Cars share the roads with donkey carts and the Saturday Morning Market from 10:00 to 12:00 is a community affair.

Visit the October Rose Fair, the Greyton Genadendal Classics for All music festival in June and if you enjoy exercise, the annual Greyton Classic (an MTB and trail running event) or the MTB Greyton Tour are not to be missed.

Alternatively you can just stroll the oak-lined streets and breathe. Slowly.
