Part of the Robertson Wine Route and situated on Route 62, this quaint and tiny 19th Century village, with its whitewashed cottages, half-wild gardens and old stone irrigation channels, is home to potters, artists, craftsmen, healers and many other colourful characters.
Here the bustle of the city is far, far away. Wander along beautiful trails in our nature reserves, watch birds from our hides, ride a bicycle or a 4 x 4. Fish for bass on the dam, visit 30 different wine estates or take a pleasure cruise on the Breede River.
One of the jewels of South Africa, the village of McGregor has been described as "the best preserved and most complete example of mid-nineteenth century townscape in the Cape Province".

Its mild climate makes it one of the most delightful places to spend time during the southern hemisphere's "cold" months. Mainly dry, and generally balmy, McGregor's winters are charming.
McGregor borders on the little Karoo, and the climate can best be described as "comfortable". Summer days are pleasantly warm although the month of February can be seriously hot. The South Easterly gales, which blow in Cape Town in summer, are practically non-existent here, but a comparatively light wind blows for a few hours in the afternoons, which helps to keep the village cool. The winters are short and as the annual rainfall is only about 200mm, they are comparatively dry. There is no air pollution, and at night those who are romantic can enjoy a sight seldom seen by city-dwellers - a star-filled sky.
McGregor is recognised as one of the sacred sites of Southern Africa. Converging ley lines result in a high level of natural energy.
This is confirmed by the numerous Bushmen paintings and other artefacts found in the valley. It is thought that the San people followed these invisible lines which led them to water, especially the hot water springs at Montagu, Caledon and Barrydale, which have medicinal properties
