Karoo charm and tranquility - Vanwyksdorp

Vanwykdorp is a small, quiet town situated near Ladismith and Riversdale accessed by gravel roads only which is ideal for the less hurried traveller. It lies at the foothills of the impressive Rooiberg and Langeberge Mountain Ranges with sunsets that take your breath away.

The benefits of living in Vanwyksdorp are its friendly and supportive community who love to trade their home grown and home baked foods at the Saturday Market Days. Four great coffee shops such as Spekboom Restaurant, Stuff, Bufelfontein Gallery and the Vanwyksdorp Mall add to the community’s charm. A Pudo pick-up point (Courier Guy) is available to ensure that your online shopping can continue to your heart’s content.

Don’t delay! Opportunities like this do not come around every day! Come and have a look and spend a night in the cottage. Experience the beauty and tranquillity for yourself while sipping your favourite beverage under the Karoo’s clear night sky!
