McGregor


Proteas Stiltwalker McGregor 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".

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.

That's McGregor, with its traditional, whitewashed, thatched cottages, its quiet streets, mountains, birdlife, wine, charming and balmy winters, and hot, hot summers.

The Weather in McGregor.  When it came to choosing a weather feed for MOZ we asked advice from those who most need an accurate forecast - our local farming community!  And they said?  The Norwegian Weather Service!!?!?!  So check out our fabulous weather page - we know you'll like it.

The Little Cottage.  Jill Hogan's McGregor Alternative Technology are constructing a very special cottage. They are constraining its dimensions to 40 sqm, the specification for RDP. low-cost housing. In addition, it is a demonstration of community building, with a mix of paid workers, local and distant volunteers. And, of course, it is being built entirely from cob, wattle and daub, and adobe brick.

So, putting it all together, they have the potential for creating community-built, low-cost housing developments that are humanly-livable and ecologically sound. They have an ongoing photojournal on their website, mat.org.za, where you can also become a volunteer. Come sling some mud!!
