The Karoo is known for its breathtaking vistas, homely hospitality, liplekker lamb and warm wool products. KOM KUIER IN DIE KAROO! |
THE KAROO IS CALLING!

Situated half-way between Johannesburg and Cape Town, Middelburg is the perfect stop where you can find your soul in the heart of the Karoo! Surrounded by mountains in the heart of the Great Karoo, Middelburg is unique, yet similar to the average Karoo town. The area is recognised for its herbal plant life that grows naturally in the fields, and is also one of the few, and best, places in the world where fossil life has been discovered as well as San Rock Art in caves from the first known human inhabitants, the San Bushmen. Scenic beauty is the town's main asset, with Open Spaces, Karoo Sunsets, Star Gazing, Fresh Air and Snow-capped Mountains during the winter months. TROTS MIDDELBURG KAROO

n Tikkie nostalgie op Murray Straat... Trots Middelburg!

Vandag het tyd sommer vir 'n oomblik stilgestaan hier by ons in Middelburg, Oos-Kaap.

Die bekende SA 4000 Toer - daardie ongelooflike groep veteraan motors en motorfietse wat elke jaar sowat 4000km deur ons pragtige land se agterpaaie en dorpies toer - het deur óns dorp gery.

Daar staan hulle toe, blink gepoleer voor Picadilli's Coffee Shop op Murray Straat. 'n 60's Mercedes Ponton, 'n tydlose E30 Cabrio, 'n klassieke SL. Elkeen met 'n storie, elkeen met duisende kilometers se herinneringe.

Dis hoekom ons so TROTS Middelburg is.

Jy kom vir 'n koffie, en jy kry 'n stukkie geskiedenis. Jy kom as 'n besoeker, en jy ry as 'n vriend.

As jy nog nie weer deur Middelburg gery het nie, maak tyd.

Kom drink koffie by Picadilli's, stap deur die strate, en wie weet watter stories jy teëkom.

Middelburg wag vir jou. ❤️
