Graaff-Reinet Tourist Attractions Abound

Graaff-Reinet is one of the oldest towns in South Africa, and the oldest in the Eastern Cape, boasting having more than two hundred historical buildings that are declared national monuments, making this the perfect place to visit. Should you be interested in all things historical, Graaff-Reinet tourist attractions can be happily viewed in this quaint little part of the Karoo from a horse and carriage, introducing you to the wonderfully restored Cape-Dutch buildings so typical of this area.

The town is located in the bend of The Sundays River and is overshadowed by the Sneeuberg Mountain range, and is often referred to as the jewel of The Karoo.

Visit Reinet House which is situated in the heart of the town in Murray Street, or pay a visit to the Old Residency in Parsonage Street; you will be pleasantly surprised how well-maintained all these historical buildings are. There are no fewer than twenty farms in the Camdeboo Conservancy, and many offer accommodation to tourists, as well. If you love hiking, then hiking trails can be enjoyed by the whole family, or you can enjoy trails on horseback; otherwise fish for trout in the sparkling rivers and lakes in the area.

Fine restaurants and art galleries abound; as do historical monuments and buildings depicting times gone by. If it is nature at its most pure you seek, then visit the Camdeboo Nature Reserve where you will be spellbound. When you are looking for the most perfect place to visit, Graaff-Reinet will illustrate that there is more than desert in and around this exquisitely quaint little town that is interwoven with so much history and folk-lore.
