ACTIVITIES NEAR SURVAL BOUTIQUE OLIVE ESTATE

There is a wide variety of things to do in the surrounding area to entice you away from Surval.

Cango Caves
29km from Oudtshoorn, at the head of the picturesque Cango Valley, lies the spectacular underground wonder of the Klein Karoo – the Cango Caves. Situated in a limestone ridge parallel to the well-known Swartberg Mountains, you will find the finest dripstone caverns, with their vast halls and towering formations.
About 25km from Surval Boutique Olive Estate.

Rust en Vrede Waterfall
At the end of a scenic and peaceful trail lies a great reward. Collected at your feet is the sparkling pool that originated from a spring high up in the mountains. Rust en Vrede is a safe sanctuary for indigenous plant and animal life; a precious asset of the Klein Karoo and Cango Valley, and definitely to be visited.

Swartberg Circle Route
From Oudtshoorn, over the Swartberg Pass to Prince Albert, from Prince Albert via Meiringspoort to De Rust and then from De Rust back to Oudtshoorn. It is an approximately 4-5 hours’ drive (that is to say if you once in a while stop to marvel at the wonders the Swartberg Mountains has to offer).

Minwater
“Minwater” (which means Little Water) is a private nature reserve and is situated 24km southwest of the town of Oudtshoorn in the foothills of the Gamkaberg, an isolated range in the Klein Karoo, between the Swartberg and Outeniqua Mountains. The owner of Minwater, Louis Jordaan, possesses a wealth of knowledge of the Klein Karoo veld in general and of the more than 500 types of plants that grow on Minwater in particular.
About 20km from Surval Boutique Olive Estate.

C.J. Langenhoven & Arbeidsgenot
Erkenning aan hom wat AFRIKAANS vir ons toeganklik, leesbaar en amptelik gemaak het. “Om ons één eie taal tot nut te gebruik is groter kuns as om sewe vreemdes by te leer.”
ARBEIDSGENOT in Oudtshoorn is die werkswinkel waar Afrikaans gevorm is en waar Die Stem van Suid-Afrika uit die hart en pen van C.J. Langenhoven verrys het.

C.P. Nel Museum
Ostrich Feather Farming brought unparalleled prosperity to the Klein Karoo during the late nineteenth century. A legacy from this economic “boom” is the distinctive sandstone architecture, which includes the so-called ostrich feather manors. Quite a few have been preserved and declared as national monuments. The Museum represents some of the finest sandstone architecture in the Little Karoo.
In 1980 the building complex was declared a National Monument. Through the valiant efforts of a few old boys and other roleplayers in Oudtshoorn the continued existence of the old school building and CP Nel’s valuable collection of 40 years back secured for the future.
The C.P. Nel Museum is situated in Baron van Reede Street – Oudtshoorn.

Le Roux Town House
In June 1979 the Board of Trustees of the C.P. Nel Museum bought the Townhouse from Rose’s sole heir, Ada, and after costly restoration opened it as a Townhouse Museum. Furniture has been judiciously bought during this period to approximate the original furnishings which have remained in possession of the family. On the 22nd February 1980 the house was declared a National Monument.
The Le Roux Town House is situated in High Street – Oudtshoorn.

Art Karoo
ArtKaroo was conceived by a group of local artists; it thrives on their sense of ownership and participation. Fortunate in its association with established artists whose work is displayed around the world, the gallery nurtures and supports young artists, emerging artists, always searching for new local talent. Regular sketching sessions, open to the public, are held at the gallery.
