Sept 2010 a lot of roadworks were happening on the N2 on either side of Swellendam, but fortunately the ostriches were there to keep you entertained whilst in stationery mode.

A very impressive building that dominates the main road.

They were busy working on the N2 so you had some 10 - 20 minute stops along the way but what made it very nice was the ostriches next to the road that came to say helo to us.

I think that every visitor to Swellendam should visit this place and taste their liquor's. Some really nice stuff that they have here. We bought some nut liquor and the chock & chilli one.

Cruise down the Breede River on a river boat . Daily trips for a minimum of 6 adults. Swim, fish, braai on the boat or just sit back and enjoy nature and the tranquillity of the river.
