McGregor

McGregor is a unique, alternative, eccentric and therapeutic village away from the crowds where you can truly unwind, step back in time and just relax.

A well-kept secret amongst the visitors who come to recharge and bask in the timelessness and tranquility of this unique little village, McGregor is home to several local wineries, Eseltjiesrus Donkey Sanctuary, alternative healers, talented artists and several fine restaurants.

There's a variety of outdoor activities too, such as walking and hiking trails (the most spectacular being the Boesmanskloof trail from McGregor to Greyton), mountain biking, and bird watching from two bird hides in Vrolijkheid Nature Reserve.

There are also a number of wonderful escapes for the mind, body and spirit such as the tranquil Temenos Retreat, an oasis of serenity surrounded by lush vegetation, water and bird life, which offers tailored holistic treatments. Alternative medicine practitioners are easily accessible in McGregor and reiki, iridology, reflexology, kinesiology, aromatherapy, myosteapathic therapy, Jin Shin Jyutsu, BodyTalk therapy, flower essence therapy, energy field medicine, as well as therapeutic and remedial massage are available in the town.

The village boasts a Saturday Morning Market where you can purchase a wide variety of homemade jams, chutneys, freshly baked breads and muffins as well as many other products. Don't miss out on our regional and village food and wine festivals such as the Robertson Wacky Wine Weekend and Robertson’s Wine on the River.
