ABOUT

Elim Heritage Festival 2019


Saturday 28 September 2019, 1 Day trip

Departs CT at 6am - Pick up points, Departs Elim 15:00


The charming little village known as Elim, dominated by white-washed fishermen’s cottages and fig trees, is one of the few surviving South African mission stations, founded in 1824 as the third Moravian mission station in the Cape, that today lies halfway on the dirt road between Bredasdorp and Gansbaai, a wonderfully conserved little historical town.

Elim is worth a visit for its neat rows of cottages alone. Most of them date back to the 19th century, made of mud-brick, plastered with lime plaster made of sea shells and thatched with restio grass, although there are also more modern renditions with brightly painted walls and corrugated iron roofs.

Elim, which means ‘place of God’, might lie in the middle of a particularly sparsely populated area, but it has recently been firmly placed on the wine map


There will be loads of entertainment and good food on offer: famous artists, celebrities, live bands, dance groups, local talents, braaivleis, potjiekos, home-baked, kids' entertainment, and much more
