There seems to have been no real reason for the existence of Greyton South Africa. It does not stand on any road of consequence. It has no rail links and no mineral wealth. It is not the center of a farming community, in fact Greyton has none of the advantages that lead to the establishment of a settled community.
A traveller coming suddenly upon Greyton in its cradle of mountains, after a journey through the Overberg, might be forgiven if he thinks he has discovered some mythical village lost in another time or place, with its quaint oak lined streets and peaceful country atmosphere, is so far removed from the worst aspects of modern life in a city, that it is not suprising that the traveler coming to Greyton, is enchanted and never wants to leave. It is a familiar tale among newer inhabitants of the village that have bought some of the Greyton property, that they have fallen instantly in love with the village and its history.
Many people passing through and spending some time at one of our Greyton accommodation venues, come back to live, and those that do carry on the tradition of preserving the best of Greyton - the awesome gardens, oak lined streets, original country cottages and country lifestyle. Their reward is to share in the daily experience of a friendly and relaxed country atmosphere in spectacular surroundings. There are many Greyton bed and breakfast and Greyton self catering accommodation and cottage accommodation establishments that make for the perfect getaway from the city.
