Hi! SA friends!
I am just a French historian preparing a paper to be read, next July, at PMB campus. Congratulation! You have a very nice and interesting website. It really makes one feel like catching the first aircraft and fly over!
I was last at Saldanha in 2002, when I read a paper at the Military/Navy Academy. I spent there a wonderfull day. I sincerely hope that your country (which, in my heart is also mine) goes better and better again.
Very kind regards.

Letter from London
"I can't express in words how wonderful our stay at Papkuilsfontein was. The only problem was the brevity of our stay, oh how i wished we had booked a whole week..!"

"I had a great time. Did far more than I planned which was no bad thing after such a long journey - it would've been a shame just to sit by the pool for a week! There was possibly too much planned and I'd like to have had more time to do the same amount of stuff, but that was my schedule not yours. The whale trip was the best..."

Other Local Experiences

Wellington, Tulbagh or Riebeeck Kasteel are charming towns just a few minutes from Bartholomeus Klip, and the bigger towns of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch and Paarl are not much farther away.

Wellington: There are several museums in this historic town, as well as the Redemption leather factory and the South African dried fruit co-operative. With three local wine cellars (where tastings are free), Wellington is definitely worth a visit.

Tulbagh: After an earthquake in 1969, much of the town was restored and is today a showpiece of Cape Dutch architecture, with one of the oldest museums in the country housed in the Old Church, built in 1743. There are other museums with interesting collections, as well as four famous wine estates, in the area.

Riebeeck Kasteel: There are in fact two towns, Riebeeck Kasteel and Riebeeck West, situated within a few kilometres of each other on a mountain slope with views out across the valley to Bartholomeus Klip. Both have picturesque buildings and excellent wine estates, including one famous for its port and another for its olive oil, and the simple farmhouse where General Jan Smuts was born is now a fascinating museum.
