Soft evening light on the rolling hills of the Overberg just outside Greyton.

Off the N2 in the Overberg lies the historical town of Greyton. It is about 85km from Hermanus or 140km from Cape Town. Every Saturday morning there is a fresh produce market where you can buy anything from home baked breads, pastries, and several South African foods such as pancakes, vetkoeks, jaffels, koeksisters, including some interesting health plants and roots 😉
There are so many little quaint restaurants and coffee shops you will be spoiled for choice. It is definitely worth taking out the drive even from Cape Town to visit this interesting historical town.

Abseits der N2 in Overberg liegt die historische Stadt Greyton, etwa 85 km von Hermanus und 140 km von Kapstadt entfernt. Jeden Samstagmorgen gibt es einen Frischwarenmarkt, auf dem man alles erdenkliche kaufen kann, von selbst gebackenem Brot, Gebäck und verschiedenen südafrikanischen Lebensmitteln wie Pfannkuchen, Vetkoeks, Jaffels, Koeksisters, einschließlich einiger interessanter Heilpflanzen und Wurzeln 😉
Es gibt so viele kleine urige Restaurants und Cafés, dass man die Qual der Wahl hat. Es lohnt sich auf jeden Fall, auch von Kapstadt aus dorthin zu fahren, um sich in diesem historischen Städtchen umzusehen.

My first time staying in Greyton I had an utterly terrifying experience. 🐄 It was just my daughter, Rosa, then a toddler and I. As a single mum and seasoned traveller I’m whatever the opposite of a scaredy cat is, so being in a strange house, just the two of us, was a non-issue. We`d finished watching Nemo for the gazillionth time and were having a cuddle before bedtime when my daughter pipes up `Mummy, I can hear somebody in the garden`. `Probably just the wind in the trees darling` I reassured her... but I could hear it too... and it sounded like not one, but several somebodies. Then the heavy breathing started, and I mean really heavy. To say I was freaked out is an understatement. I went in search of outside light switches, hoping to scare the somebodies off. Having found a torch, checked all the doors were locked and my phone was on standby to call the police, I shone it on... three cows.

Now I`m sorry, but I`m from England and in England we have cows and we have villages, but we don`t combine them. People live in villages, cows live on farms, end of story. Horses too... farms. And while I find it utterly charming that Greyton allows both to free-roam, had I actually HAD heart failure that night I might feel differently!

But Greyton is awash with charm... beautiful country gardens, a Saturday market with pony and trap rides for the children, an annual Rose Fair. And Greyton Forest House is similarly charming with a side order of style and the super owners have truly thought of everything possible to make your stay effortless. My best is its huge, well-appointed kitchen opening right up onto the comfy stoep complete with pizza oven, pool and mountain views. It`s a ten-minute meander to the village where there are plenty of interesting wee shops to potter around. Once the pottering`s given you a thirst head to Old Potter`s Inn for a craft beer and ice-cream for the kiddywinks. The perfect weekend escape.
Now what IS the opposite of a scaredy-cat?
