Deep in the heart of the Overberg you will find the quaint, unspoiled, village of Greyton surrounded by the
Riviersonderend Mountains. The village is named after Sir George Grey, a governor of the Cape and it is as if very little has changed since the land first pleased his eyes. This village makes travelers feel as though they have stepped back in time ...
Greyton is a small town in the Overberg area in the Cape Province, South Africa. Greyton was established in 1854 by Herbert Vigne and takes its name from the Governor of the Cape at the time, Sir George Grey. The village was designed by surveyor J. G. Rietz and the basic layout remains to this day. A historic leiwater drainage system runs through the village and is still used by many residents. The historic Cape Vernacular architecture, tranquil setting amongst the Overberg mountains, and proximity to Cape Town make this a very popular destination for weekenders.
