What makes a Karoo town an ideal permanent destination for home buyers.

What makes a Karoo town an ideal permanent destination for semigrants & home buyers.

A mere three hours from Cape Town and 90 minutes from the Garden Route, Prince Albert, an exceptionally beautiful Karoo town set against the backdrop of the Swartberg Mountains of the Western Cape, has over the years established itself as a leading country town.

Established in 1883, Mthatha, the capital of the former Transkei, is a hive of bustling activity and recognised as the leading city of the area.

Interest in commercial livestock and irrigation farms in the central Cape provinces – predominantly the Karoo and Kalahari regions – is now coming to the fore, says Wayne Rubidge, manager for Pam Golding Properties in these regions.
