The Baths, Citrusdal

We spent a few hours at The Baths in Citrusdal dur­ing December – it’s a huge prop­erty with accom­mod­a­tion and the Baths boasts hot and cold swim­ming pools, rock pools, private baths, hik­ing trails, moun­tain bik­ing and bird watch­ing!  There is also a shop for pur­chas­ing odds and ends and a fully licensed res­taur­ant if you don’t feel up to cook­ing dur­ing your week­end or hol­i­day away.

The his­tory of the baths date way back to 1739 when it was sug­ges­ted that a mil­it­ary post be built on the farm with the warm baths... Continued

Cherry picking

Cherry pick­ing

Ceres, in the Western Cape, is named for the Roman god­dess of the har­vest and plenty. Living up to this name, the town has a repu­ta­tion as one of the best fruit grow­ing areas in South Africa, and accounts for a large amount of the pro­duc­tion of decidu­ous and other fruit in the Cape.

The fruit industry here so per­meates the every day life of the town that the fruit grow­ers have developed a tour through their factor­ies to allow a peek into what makes the fruit from this area bet­ter than most, as well as tours of the farms, where the pre­cious har­vest is grown and dried for local use and export. For an even more inter­act­ive (not to men­tion deli­cious) exper­i­ence, the Klondyke Cherry Farm just out­side town offers vis­it­ors the chance to pick and sample this sweet, tart fruit. For some­thing guar­an­teed to appeal to kids of all ages, an incon­gru­ous part­ner­ship, yet worth a visit none the less is the toy car col­lec­tion at Valley Funerals, which cur­rently bears the hon­our of being the largest privately owned col­lec­tion of this type in South Africa.
