The Overberg opens its doors to all who venture over-the-mountains from Cape Town. From Grabouw in the west to Heidelberg in the east this untouched haven of mountains, meandering rivers and spectacular ocean views is a tranquil jewel at the southern part of South Africa. Cape Agulhas, the most southern point of Africa, marks the must-see stopping off point at the tip and Barrydale in the north define the loose boundaries that offer such a rich variety of destinations and experiences.
