Nestled in the heart of the Overberg, surrounded by the Riviersonderend mountain range, lies the country village of Greyton. Just off the N2, under two hours drive from Cape Town, this quaint village is the ideal weekend getaway and countryside holiday destination for visitors who enjoy a combination of old-world charm and modern conveniences.
Scorching summers are made for swimming in idyllic mountain pools whilst cold winters make it the ideal place to cosy up around the fire with a bottle of local red wine. Moderate spring and autumn months make strolls around the town’s beautiful tree-lined streets a visual feast.
Slow living is the order of the day with plenty of outdoor activities and pristine nature to explore. Wake up to fresh country air, beautiful mountain views, flowing rivers, and free-roaming horses for added charm.

QUAINT SHOPS AND RESTAURANTS are around every corner of the village. Discover something different with Greyton’s local eateries, coffee shops, boutique stores, and of course the famous Saturday morning market that showcases the very best local offerings.
THE CAPE VERNACULAR ARCHITECTURE of Greyton has remained largely intact, lending the village much of it’s historical charm. The original leiwater system of street furrows for irrigation is a surviving feature and is still in use by residents today.
DISCOVER GENADENDAL, the site of the oldest Moravian mission village in Africa, founded in 1738, just outside of Greyton. A visit to Die Werf and to see the beautifully preserved exhibits at the Genadendal Mission Museum is to take a journey back in time.
