Attractions:
Swartberg Country Manor is the perfect central destination from which many other places of interest can be accessed. Among these are the world-renowned Cango Caves (19km) which is a must for any first time visitor to our region, as well as the Cango Ostrich and Crocodile farm (39km). The Garden Route is as accessible with George being only one hour's drive away.
Since the farm is situated at foot of the Swartberg Mountain, it's a mere 12 km drive to the top of the pass, which offers breathtaking views of the Cango Valley. The descent from her, takes you past the entrance to the renowned Gamkaskloof, also referred to by the locals as "Die Hel" (The Hell), which snakes down until you reach the picturesque Prince Albert.
A circular route over the pass through Prince Albert and Meiringspoort is an estimated 3 hours drive and is arguably one of the most scenic routes our beautiful country has to offer.
Oudtshoorn offers interesting historical buildings of which one is "Arbeidsgenot" the original residence of the celebrated writer C J Langenhoven. Impressive sandstone buildings bare witness to the flourishing ostrich farming industry of a bygone era that esteemed Oudtshoorn as the then Ostrich capital of the world.
