Kaapsehoop is an old Gold Mining village, most have elected ( as we have) to build in the colonial style in keeping with the style of the period. The property stands are the size of the old mine Claims so a normal size single stand is only 250 sq meters,which is very small for South Africa: This is a double edged sword. It means property is at a premium ,so most accommodation is quite small and we aren t easily accessable ,surrounded by plantations and miles from the nearest settlements has also meant crime over the years has been minimal , you can walk around any time day or night safely, one the most amazing experiences after coming from Gauteng. The beauty of Kaapsehoop is also the fact ,you can walk in any direction from the village and you ll see no other houses,but you ll find magnificent views,waterfalls, caves, the famous Wild Horses ,a forest trail, Adam s Calender and a variety of other wonders .
