The beautiful village of Greyton nestles between the majestic Riviersonderend mountain range and gently curving hills. This tranquil oasis of green lies between two rivers, with lush colourful country gardens that complement the thatched cottages and oak tree lined lanes. The villagers are friendly and the ambiance is uniquely "Greyton".
