Piketberg is 125 km North of Cape Town on the N7 route and lies at the foot of the Piquet Mountains. It is about an hours drive from the West Coast. It stands alone in the middle of undulating fields of wheat, green vineyards, partly fallow land and flowering yellow canola.

The mountain range is unique as it stands as an island with Piketberg as its main town on its eastern slopes, the village of Aurora on the west and Redelinghuys to the north.

The perfect way to view the whole town and surrounding areas is to take a trip up Versveld pass to the top of the mountain where you will drive through acres comprising of apple, pears, peach and orange trees. On the way up you will have the scent of wild rosemary and will see many yellow Waboom and pink Nerifolia Proteas. You will not want to leave this beautiful area. Spend a few days exploring and stay at one of the guesthouses and be refreshed in spirit.
