Leipoldtville, a very small historical town, ideally situated to use as a base or stay over from where to explore the surrounding West Coast towns. Leipoldtville is a suburb of Graafwater and the distance from Graafwater to Leipoldtville is 19 kms.
Northeast of Elands Bay en route to Graafwater, lies the quaint village of Leipoldtville next to the Langvlei Rivier. The town was established in 1905 when a new Dutch Reformed congregation came into being.
The Heerenlogement cave which was used by travelers as overnight accommodation in the 17th and 18th centuries is 25 km from Graafwater on the Vredendal road.
Graafwater lies midway between Clanwilliam and Lamberts Bay and was built as a railway junction in 1910, for the transportation of agricultural products from Clanwilliam and seafood products from Lambert’s Bay. The Heerenlogement (‘gentleman’s lodging’) is a renowned cave found about 25 kilometers from Graafwater on the north road to Vredendal.
Nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and the Bobbejaan Mountain lies this hotspot for surfers around the world.
Welcome to the seafood hotspot of the West Coast! Lambert’s Bay is known as the Diamond of the West Coast and the crayfish mecca of South Africa. Called this because of the colour of the sand on the beach. Snoek is also available during a snoek run which takes place during the Winter months of April to July.
