Greyton today
Only 90 minutes (130 Km) scenic drive Eastbound from Cape Town, visitors are coming upon Greyton in its cradle of majestic mountains, after passing along the rolling wheatfields of the Overberg. They are enchanted with its true country atmosphere and fall instantly under the village's spell. The reward is to share Greyton lifestyle in a friendly and relaxed experience.
Surrounded by pretty gardens, Greyton's original buildings and thatched cottages have faithfully been restored to retain their rustic character of the past. Mighty oak trees canopy quaint streets and tranquil lanes. Everyone in Greyton is busy doing something, writing or painting, growing and creating things, teaching, selling and consulting - just multiskilling: There is a great deal going.
Visitor s will be delighted in the many picturesque walks around and in strolling along the hiking trails in the town's own nature reserve, started in the 1970s by a former director of the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden in Capetown. Aromatic fynbos all over, bubbling streams and deep gorges and ravines offer a pristine environment, and the Sonderend River Valley has its own awards in horse or bicycle riding, and swimming in the river. In winter it frequently happens that the mountains above Greyton are covered with snow thus creating an exciting experience when heading for the hills.
