Attractions:
It is rich in local cuisine, fresh produce, and wonderful cups of coffee. It is an early Saturday morning market that welcomes all ages. Another personal favorite is Piggley Wiggley. This is a wonderful spot in the heart of the midlands surrounded by vineyards and fields. It is advised to spend a morning here. There are many curio shops, the best pizza around, a nursery, restaurants, brewery, art galleries, and much much more. There is also a host of things for children to do here. I highly recommend a harvest platter breakfast at the Blue Berry Hill restaurant overlooking the beautiful valleys and hills of the Mooi River. If you are in search of a pampering... Fordoun Spa is the best place to go. With highly trained therapists, it is a magical retreat to rejuvenate the soul.
