Napier

Set at the foot of the Soetmuisberg between Caledon and Bredasdorp, the rural town of Napier lies in rolling fields of wheat and barley and is home to fascinating heritage, thrilling adventure sports, and flocks of beautiful endangered Blue Cranes. Historical attractions include the fun toy museum, fascinating water mill, and a collection of heritage houses. Thrill seekers can indulge in several palpitation-inducing activities, most notably the only commercial portaledge company in the country, where visitors spend a memorable night suspended in a ‘tent’ on the side of a cliff. Other highlights include: a variety of excellent wine tasting facilities, the chance to see the southernmost tip of Africa at nearby Cape Aghulhas, and the Shipwreck Museum at neighbouring Bredasdorp. Make sure to try the delicious, succulent strawberries harvested here in summer.
