Nieuwoudtville

On the Bokkeveld escarpment, Nieuwoudtville is known for its unique vegetation with the biggest variety of indigenous bulbous plants in the world and the 100m high Nieuwoudtville Falls on the Doring River.

The small town with its warm, sandstone buildings shelter in a well-treed hollow in a flat landscape covered by wheat, heather and proteas. Eight kilometres west of town, the Vanrhyns Pass offers majestic views over the Knersvlakte on the descent to Namakwa’s coastal terrace.
