Greyton to Mcgregor 2-day
Also known as the Boesmanskloof Trail, this 15km hike winds through the Riviersonderend Mountains linking the towns of McGregor to Greyton and is approximately a 2 hours drive from Cape Town CBD.
The scenery is incredible, featuring large rock pools, steep gorges and multiple waterfalls as you make your way through a breathtaking kloof. We’ll meet on the morning of the hike, do our briefing and set off. On the hike, you are treated with endless vistas and beautiful fynbos which is definitely worth every step.
Weβll take a break at Breakfast Rock and marvel at the valley below before continuing to the majestic Oakes Falls for a well deserved lunch break. Oakes Falls is a two tier waterfall and makes for a perfect dip in the fresh mountain pools.
With our final ascent up an historic mountain pass, weβll arrive at the cottages where we will spend the night. Boasting breathtaking views of the valley, ending up at the cottage is the perfect refuge after a day of hiking. Soak up the views of the valley, enjoy a hot shower, take a dip in the pool and relax by the indoor fireplace when the weather cools down.
Accommodation : The cottages at the top of the mounatin are sharing – either single beds or double beds in each room, up to 3 people sharing. Every room is equipped with bedding and towels, and even hot water bottles. There are also hot showers and a fully equipped kitchen. That means you’ll basically require only your personal things and a change of clothes.

Just did the Greyton to McGregor overnight hike with TrailfitSA and WOW, what a trip! Our guide Jody Hanslo was an absolute legend β kept the vibes high and the banter non-stop, even when things didnβt quite go to plan π
Overnighting at Onverwacht Cottage was the perfect touch (the name says it all!). Amazing food, good drinks, loads of laughs, and somehow we left with a bunch of new friends weβd only just met. The hike back was chilled but still stunning. If youβre keen for an adventure, do this hike with Jody and TrailfitSA β you wonβt regret it!
