Located in a fertile valley cradled by mountains, the town of Villiersdorp is as charming as you’ll ever visit.  With quiet streets lined with storm water canals and oak trees, beautifully maintained gardens and old houses, the town has a lovely country feel.  Getting there is a pleasure, with four spectacular mountain passes to choose from (The Franschhoek pass is particularly breathtaking).  To top it all off, the nearby Theewaterskloof dam is a playground for watersports in summer.
