It’s starting to look a lot like Christmas at Matjiesfontein.

Let’s face it – everyone loves a good photo opportunity, and what better way to share your selfies, special moments or artistic expressions than on social media?

A quaint and self-contained village nestled at the fringe of the great Karoo mountains, Matjiesfontein is rich in history and old-world charm.
