Riversdal

Riversdale is known for farming wheat, cattle, ostriches, wild flowers and honeybush tea. A number of cultural heritage sites can be found in the bustling town, among them an art and antique collection and paintings by Thomas Bowler.

On of the most famous export products of the Riversdale region is Agathosma – a strain of the buchu originally used by the San tribe to treat rheumatism and digestive disturbances.

Where the Goukou River meets the Indian Ocean, between Mossel Bay and Riversdale, you’ll find the seaside village of Still Bay. Even though it is a popular vacation spot, you can expect a small village charm away from the madding crowds.
