    Worth the safe stopover
    Super basic, safe, and private campsites at a great price. Awesome stopover for campers going up north or coming down south. Definitely make a point of visiting the Valley of Desolation and doi g a hike. The ablutions are the only problem which need a bit of tlc although they were clean. Be careful of the monkeys that are watching your every move to make a quick grab for any food within reach.

    Historical wonder
    This is such a wonderful reminder of how the heritage of a building can mean so much to the generations that follows. We did not enter the church, but the outside was a great experience

    MUSEUM OF NOTE
    Just so many different tours - they should have one and let people see everything as it becomes quite expensive for the locals. Well maintained and great to see how people lived in the years goneby

    Little Gem of an Art Museun
    Thanks to the Rupert Family, this town is a gem with it's restoration preserving the charming architecture of a Karoo town. The Art Museum is delightful too, and beautifully kept. Looking at the visitor's book, it doesn't seem to be well visited, which is a pity.

    To buy succulents
    Still the same. Succulents are surrounded by a drought that I have never seen but their collector are as funny as ever if you understand his sense of humor!

    Have a look, well cast bronze from 1923
    The "victory Peace Angel" truly reminds us why WW I was a war where the whole world was involved and victims were made all over the globe. The statue stands in front of the Town Hall in the centre of what is now known as the Mayor's Garden. Unfortunately the garden could benefit from some maintenance and cleaning, so typical signs of the decay in teh country.

    Quick street side viewing
    I came across this memorial on my run through the town. Well maintained and informative. Probably no need to get out the car to read this one.

    Beautifully restored
    We started our explore of Graaf Reinet at Urquhart House, and got so captivated that we went on to both the Military Museum and Reinet House. Buy a Museum Pass for best value.

    An Absolutely wonderful experience!
    The tequila, mezcal and agave spirit tour /experience was an absolute delight. Tim is incredibly informative and I learnt so much. It was super interesting and lots of fun. The tasting was insightful and I now know the differences between tequila, mezcal and south african agave spirit. We tasted some delicious spirits and were able to buy some of the local brands including Tim's own brand which in our opinion is top class.

    An interesting museum!
    This collection of exhibits is housed in yet another heritage building, constructed around 1820 and is now incorporated into the Graaff Reinet Museum Complex. My husband enjoyed the display of antique photographic equipment, while I found the photographic display of the early settler life in the town, very insightful!
    There is a walk-in strong room at the back of the building, where an impressive selection of hunting rifles is kept - not so impressive was the poor dead lion, whose head and skin forms part of the decor of the room.

    Interesting history
    The Monument is located at the entrance of Camdaboo National Park. Even though you might not spend alot off time at this monument it’s still worth visiting and learning more of South-Africa’s history.

    Historic event in English/Boer war of 1899/1902
    We visited the historic site where a 23 year old Boer soldier was executed by the English after he was captured during a skirmish. Sad story but a well balanced narrative of events.
