Laze shamelessly around the sparkling pool, have a game of croquet on the lawn or enjoy some bird watching, go for a ride, hire a bike, take a hike and head for the hills (bring your own boots or walking shoes, you will need them); or wander down to the river with rod, reel and lures … rumour has it we have the largest eels in our rivers, and there’s great bass fishing there too.

Perhaps you are more inclined to drive down the road to Genadendal where you will find the oldest mission station in South Africa. A stimulating experience, where places of interest include the printing works, a Moravian restaurant serving traditional food and an arts and craft centre … definitely worth a visit.

There are fine restaurants and cafés in Greyton, offering a great assortment of places to dine out at or stop at for a quick snack. The village is a wonderful place to walk around in for a day, browsing through art galleries, curio shops, antique shops and craft shops. The Saturday morning market is a must, a great place to meet local farmers and crafters, sample homemade food products and find unique gifts to take home. 

At Greyton Lodge there’s always music in the air – and live music at that. Jazz, light classical, swing … Every Friday afternoon we have concerts – in the garden in summer, and in front of the fire in the GL Gallery during winter.

Greyton is a paradise for birdwatchers. 
The following birds have been spotted in the
