Welcome to McGregor, a village that time forgot.

Take a deep breath, smell the roses and stroll straight into a nineteenth-century watercolour painting. Light blues and greens are accentuated by white-washed houses with thatched roofs, rambling gardens and long, winding roads.

Not only is this village one of the Western Cape’s best-kept secrets, but it’s also the perfect fusion of country living and nature and is within the McGregor Vrolijkheid Conservancy.

Uncorrupted by commercialism, old and new merge together, creating an authentic village feel. Here you will definitely not find chain stores and fast-food places. Instead, quaint bespoke shops, delis, and country restaurants line the streets. Even the old South African tradition of the café corner shop is still thriving where you can find anything from a pin to a pumpkin – when in season of course! Life here is slow and easy and time is measured the old-fashioned way – by church bell. And don’t forget your early morning call, courtesy of your friendly neighbourhood rooster!

The McGregor Tourism office, which is also the village museum celebrating the heritage of the village, also serves as a one-stop destination for visitors, providing essential information on accommodation, local attractions and activities. We promote sustainable practices to preserve the natural beauty of our region. Whether seeking adventure or relaxstion, let us be your guide to an unforgettable experience of McGregor.
