McGregor

McGregor is an attractive place, with thatched, whitewashed cottages glaring in the summer daylight amid the low, rusty steel-wool scrub, vines and olive trees, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere that has attracted a small population of spiritual seekers and artists.

It makes a great weekend break from Cape Town, with a couple of good restaurants, plenty of well-priced accomodation, and a beautiful retreat centre with reasonably priced massage.

Spending a day wine tasting around McGregor and Robertson is another drawcard, as long as it's not a Sunday when almost everything is closed.

McGregor gained modest prosperity in the nineteenth century by becoming a centre of the whipstock industry, supplying wagoners and transport riders with long bamboo sticks for goading oxen.

There aren't too many ox-drawn wagons today, and tourism, though developing, is still quite limited.

A great draw is to walk the Boesmanskloof
Traverse, which starts 14 km from McGregor and crosses to Greyton on the other side of the mountain.

From McGregor you can walk a section of trail, hiking to the main waterfall and back to the trailhead, which is a three- to four - hour round hike of exceeding beauty through the river gorge (kloof in Afrikaans).
