When taking a drive to Tesselaarsdal 26km South West of Caledon, one could not help to stop and view the beautiful landscape of this small village hidden in the valley of Overberg. Friendly people, green land and old houses with rich Dutch Architecture gives you the feeling that you are away from the city and never want to return.

I spoke to one of the residents and when he and his wife took us to another part of town to view some property I noticed that he left his house widely open for the take. "No crime here" he assured me.
After leaving Tesselaarsdal heading towards Cape Town we found this little place called Dassiesfontein farms stall. Cheese, Wine and Flowers are among the great things that you can purchase here, but what struck me the most was the unique layout of this farm stall. In the centre of the stall is an small restaurant surrounded by old black coal stoves and hundreds of small forgotten items. From herb gardens, paintings, to freshly baked bread and old Victorian Fire places.

Friendly staff complimented our great meal, (which consisted of Bread, Jam and a pot of brewed Dassiesfontein's coffee) and this experience certainly made our road trip much shorter and highly enjoyable.
