In the town of:

Robertson

Robertson is the heart of the so-called 'Valley of Wine and Roses'. But there is more than wine and roses. Less known is that the best South African horse studs are also situated in this area.

Recently the area is attracting an increasing number of tourists from both South Africa and overseas. And tourists intend to stay in the area for a longer period for the beauty of the landscape, the many activities and 'value for money' in comparison with other regions in the Western Cape.
Main attractions are Birds Paradise, Soekershof Walkabout, Klaas Voogds Game Reserve (with indigenous game) and activities are a.o. horse riding and hiking. Wine tasting is for free.

Hopefully a subsequent visitor comes along and tells us that all is well now. (We may edit or delete your note if think that it is out of line, but don't let that stop you from trying!)
