Winter isn’t coming, winter is here and it has definitely hit the Western Cape in all its white glory.

With four glorious days off just around the corner, there’s no better time than Easter weekend to arm yourself with a set of wheels and discover the scenic route that takes you to the majestic yet quirky village of Matjiesfontein.

Walking into the town’s coffee shop is taking a step back in time – friendly waitrons, dressed in
traditional Victorian attire, welcome you to sit down and enjoy a tasty Karoo breakfast, lunch or a
slice of zesty lemon meringue paired with a cup of renowned Truth coffee, prepared by skilled
baristas.
