Altes Landhaus is a convenient and centrally-situated
base from which to explore the scenic attractions
of the Little Karoo, and the natural beauty of the
nearby Garden Route.
A fascinating ostrich show farm, wildlife ranch and
cheetah sanctuary, as well as the awe-inspiring Cango
limestone caves are all within easy reach, while the
spectacular Swartberg Pass offers magnificent views
and a breathtaking journey to the old-world charm
of Prince Albert village. The good things in life
may be savoured in Calitzdorp, South Africa’s
port wine capital, while the more adventurous at heart
may prefer an exhilarating day trip into the remote
and rugged Gamkaskloof valley.
Beyond the
great Outeniqua mountains, a mere 45-minute drive
away, the tantalising beaches of the Wilderness beckon,
with the picturesque towns of Knysna and Plettenberg
Bay offering ample opportunity for holiday shopping,
leisure adventure, forest walks and seaside sojourns.
Returning via the historic town of Mossel Bay, the
Robinson Pass gives glimpses of unspoilt mountain
fynbos vegetation and myriad proteas in bloom. Renowned
for its first-rate golf courses, the area provides
sportsmen with varied challenges in spectacular surroundings.
