About McGregor
The charming well preserved mid 19th century village of McGregor with its quaint, thatched cottages at the foot of the Riviersonderend Mountains, offers outdoor activities, art and crafts, tranquility and relaxation. Surrounded by mountain trails, fruit orchards, olive groves and the vineyards which supply McGregor winery, the village has maintained a rural peaceful ambience inspirational to its artists.
The village lies at the end of the road from Robertson in the Western Cape. Yes, the road ends at McGregor. It was intended to continue the road to Greyton, on the other side of the Sonderend range but, alas, the money for the road was somehow "lost" so it actually ends up in the mountains.
Amongst its many charms are the beautifully maintained buildings, described in The Old Buildings of the Cape as the best preserved village in the Cape.
Mcgregor is a small village dating back to 1850 or thereabouts. Mcgregor residents are an eclectic, crowd consisting of artists, writers ,poets and other interesting people. There is always someone who can do what you need in the village. The village has a few excellent restaurants and pubs and there are beautiful walks in the Krans Nature Reserve as well as a lovely drive to the top of the mountain. For energetic folk there are mountain bike trails. At our info office why not spend some time delving into the history of McGregor and its people through our Heritage museum. Or take a self guided walk through the village. Ask for advice at the info office.
We are passionate about our village !
