McGregor : General Information ONE OF THE JEWELS of South Africa, the village of McGregor has been described as "the best preserved and most complete example of mid-nineteenth century townscape in the Cape Province". McGregor has become a weekend retreat and haven for artists in recent years and now offers a colourful selection of art galleries, guesthouses and quaint restaurants – only one and a half hours drive away from Cape Town Its mild climate makes it one of the most delightful places to spend time during the southern hemisphere's "cold" months. Mainly dry, and generally balmy, McGregor's winters are charming. And in summer, the constant sunshine makes McGregor a great place to visit for a taste of African heat - in a civilised environment. Walk through its quiet streets, listen to the birds sing as you view the traditional whitewash thatched cottages, and you can really believe that this is a place where time has stood still. The many thatch-roofed 'Cape cottages' between fruit and vegetable gardens, are very well preserved and maintained. The 'Aesthetics Committee' of the village make sure that the dainty characters of the cottages are well preserved. Here life is slow, tranquil and gentle. Beautifully preserved white-washed cottages nestle in half wild gardens, water trickles and burbles down old stone irrigation channels Once a year, at the beginning of May, the "McGregor Unbelievably Festive Weekend" is celebrated. Then the surrounding vintners present their new wines in the hotels and guest houses of McGregor. The spirits are high and there is dancing and singing in the street.
