It is a small, tranquil town with friendly people, good schools and a modern infrastructure. Here you can enjoy quality country town living in a quaint village, farm in the beautiful surroundings, or live on a smallholding.

Known as the "Gateway to the Garden Route", the town has adequate shopping facilities, including food stores, a pharmacy, furniture stores, gift shops, coffee shops, restaurants, take-away cafes, bottle stores, garages, and a well equipped "Co-op" that supports the farming community.

The mountains are full of some of the most pristine fynbos you can find in the Western Cape. The indigenous forest at Grootvadersbosch Nature Reserve is most noteworthy and the largest remaining example in the Langeberg. The sea is close by and there is some of the best whale watching to be done at St Sebastion Bay. Enjoy fishing and boating on the Breede and the Duivenhoks rivers.
