Welcome to our village

 

The 19th century village of McGregor, dreaming away in a quiet valley at the end of a road going nowhere, is home to artists, craftsmen, healers and colourful characters. Here life is slow, tranquil and gentle. Beautiful preserved white-washed cottages nestle in half-wild gardens, water trickles and burbles down old stone irrigation channels and one almost expects to see the shadowy figure of a woman in the garb of yesteryear, with a basket of roses over her arm, disappearing around the next corner.

 

Here the rush and bustle of the city seems far, far away. Wander along some of the beautiful trails in our nature reserves, watch the birds at play from the hide, have a delicious meal and a chat at one of our coffee shops or restaurants, or relax with an aromatherapy massage or Reiki session.

 

McGregor, a village lost in time, a place for reflection, a place of healing. You may never want to leave.

 

McGregor, the mystical Village just off the famous route 62, the longest and finest wine route in the world, is just brimming with the expectation of meeting new  visitors and welcoming back those who have been here before!

Situate beneath the Sonderend (Without end) mountain range, it is a village of immense beauty and tranquility and is a haven for the weary tourist who  wishes  to relax completely whilst, at the same  time,  offering exciting hiking, mountain biking, bird watching  and   many   other stimulating experiences.

It is a village blessed with many talented people and  gifted craftsmen. We boast nine wineries in our valley and  superior shopsart gallery and pottery. Our   Country  InnsBed  &  Breakfast   and self catering establishments are of an excellent standard, some of them rated by the tourism grading council. They cater for all tastes and budgets. Through the medium of this site we wish to introduce them and our wonderful village to you.

McGregor has something for everyone, so come stay and enjoy life the McGregor way.
