At the bottom of the Swartberg pass, once into the initial gorge, you twist along and come out at a river where people stop to picnic and swim in the summer. Also just there is a lone standing pinnacle of rock onto which people have written “Jesus” as it forms a sort of natural Read more >
We took some pictures of the place we stayed at since it was dark on arrival and the place couldn’t be seen. It was in an amazing natural setting about 2 minutes out of town. Great comfort and cleanliness considering the price we paid. You felt like you were in the middle of nowhere on a Read more >

As we got onto the tar road that runs the last few km into Steytlerville, we discovered a mini history lesson in flags of the country over time, painted onto the rock cliffs.
