WELCOME TO THE OVERBERG...

OVERBERG...

There is a rich and quiet stretch of Africa that invites the visitor to spend some time, rekindle the senses and create memories... the pulsating wheat fields of the Overberg, the sun kissed-cliffs that characterise the Breede River Valley, and the quiet beaches of South Africa's famous West Coast. The various components of this South African quilt open up a host of possibilities with which to do as much (or as little) as you want.

The kaleidoscope of scenic experiences can be entered into by meandering through myriad wild flowers, rafting along the crystal clear Breede river, whale watching along the Overberg shoreline that host scores of shipwrecks, or endeavouring on an energetic sand-boarding excursion down skyscraping dunes...
You can say you have experienced it all...ONLy when one meets a "strandloper", tastes "bokkoms" and dances the "langarm" in your "veldskoene".Who could resist sipping some 'soetes'the honey-tinged West Coast wine, on frosty winter evenings or over  crushed ice on hot summer days?


From these bright blue western bays with their antique fishing boats, there is a snake-like road that takes the explorer back to the picturesque Overberg, along the mountains and orchards of gthe Breede River Valley, through the longest wine route in the Western Cape.
The unexpected pleasures that this panoramic landscape offers, thde abundance of trees, the magnificent fynbos, the everchanging face of the mountains and hills, will embroider stories, friendships and pictures never to be forgotten...
