The Olifants River meanders through the Valley bringing life to the surrounding Area. Without the water this beautiful World of green, the heavy fragrance of the citrus groves that greet you as you drive along, the proud farming Community with the renowned 'Groen Vallei'wines would cease to exist.
There are many beautiful Villages hidden away, that offer warm hospitality to visitors. 'You can travel around the Region for days and days and never get bored!'
The Cederberg Area lies some 200 km North West of Cape Town, and consists of the Mountains from which the Area takes its name, the wilderness it hides, and several small Towns. The majestic Cederberg Mountain Range towers over Citrusdal; the hub of the citrus growing industry in South Africa.
'Only two hours drive from Cape Town, this Town seems Worlds apart, with its old-world charm and values!' Citrusdal is unique in that it is surrounded by Mountains: The Koue Bokkeveld; Swartberg and Cederberg form a ring around the Town with its far stretching orchards that becomes 'a wonder world' when the orange trees are heavily laden with ripe oranges!
The valley produces high-quality Honey, Rooibos Tea and excellent Wines, but the Oranges are the real treat.
