Welcome to
 Gregor - 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.
---- a place where time stood still ----

 New Restaurant and Pub Opens
“Trat-to-ria” - A small family restaurant serving simple fare.
The Old Mill Lodge & Trattoria has recently opened at the very top of Mill Street. Screened from view, and set deep in a copse of magnificent shady trees, the “Trattoria” is managed by Peter and Janie Rosenfels who have come to McGregor from Zimbabwe. Between them they share a wealth of knowledge in the hospitality and restaurant trade.

McGregor Heritage Society
December 2007 Newsletter and Membership Form available for download.
We need your support to maintain and promote the heritage of Our Beautiful Village. The little hamlet of McGregor lies well off the beaten track, in the Boland region of the Western Cape, and was once described as being 'the best preserved example of a 19th century town in the Cape'. Unfortunately the march of time has, to a small degree, taken its toll.
