Chalcedony truly is a home where balance is restored and perspective regained. It is a simple space where the energy of nature feeds back into tired souls and it is enough to just be. The village of McGregor is within walking distance and retains its old-world charm and authentic feel while also offering a great selection of modern amenities including restaurants, coffee shops and a whisky bar.
Most weekends offer live music, or some form of cultural event, but make sure to book in advance as numbers are limited. Every Saturday morning, one will find a local market at the Dutch Reformed Church and this is a wonderful opportunity to sample some of the local cuisine or buy some art works.
A visit to McGregor is not complete without a walk through the world famous Temenos gardens, showcasing all the faiths of the world. For those who love the outdoors, the area is full of incredible hiking trails, mountain pools to swim in, cycling trails and lots to explore.
For those with a spirit of adventure, there is the Bosmanskloof hike, which is a full days experience and takes you over the Riviersonderend mountain to the neighbouring village of Greyton. McGregor is surrounded by world famous winelands which are home to exceptional wine estates, offering winetasting's, lunches and dinners.
What is loadshedding? It refers to the temporary suspension of electricity provided by Eskom, South Africa's electricity provider, to reduce consumption and thereby the load on the national grid. To compensate, South African property owners are turning to solar power, inverters with backup batteries or in some cases generators to keep the power on, wherever feasible.

Lovely setup, Friendly welcome. Beautifully manicured garden and very relaxing pool environment. The cottage is beautifully equipped, there is no skimping on appliances or equipment etc. McGregor was lovely but not particularly suitable for very small kids, we had out 4 and 2yr old with. Can highly recommend 51 for breakfast. great food, friendly people, very accommodating with the little people. At dinner at Fat Lady's Arms, again friendly, accommodating for the little people. Ate at The Blend and this was terrible. Horrible service, peculiar menu, Very grumpy lady who was working there. Last night we ate at the Saggy Stone and again, very friendly, very relaxed with the kids and a very warm environment.
