Introducing Colesberg & Surrounds
The town of Colesberg is situated in the Karoo below a cone-shaped hill and 28km from the Orange River in South Africa's Northern Cape Province. It was this hill which served as a landmark for early travellers who were exploring the interiors of South Africa. The first mission station started in Colesberg in 1814.
Colesberg is located half-way between Cape Town, Western Cape, and Johannesburg, Gauteng. Colesberg is known for its horse breeding and merino sheep farming. It has many interesting historical attractions with a mixture of architecture e.g. Cape Dutch, Victorian, Georgian and Karoo Cottage. Many of these buildings in Colesberg have been converted for accommodation.
