I love to travel and see different areas of the world. I am interested in Libraries and family history.
Ten minutes’ drive from Robertson you will find the small rural village of McGregor, set within the a valley surrounded by the hills and mountains. McGregor was established in 1862 (original name, Lady Grey). It was renamed McGregor in 1905 in honour of Andrew McGregor who had been the minister of the Dutch Reformed Church of the Robertson District for 40 years. McGregor is a popular tourist destination due to its remote location and old world charm. This small village is characterised by whitewashed cottages with lovely gardens. Hiking trails like the Boesmanskloof hiking trail, between McGregor and Greyton is very popular. Special places to visit during your stay are Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctaury, Vrolijkheid Nature reserve and the wine farms around McGregor.
