This tiny village at the foot of the Sneeuberg is a favourite amongst artists and writers. The village gained popularity thanks to Athol Fugard’s acclaimed play, The Road to Mecca, which tells the story about the Owl House and Helen Martins, its reclusive and eccentric former inhabitant. One of the most interesting places in South Africa, if not the world.
