Dreaming of moving or escaping to the rural area? Pure fresh mountain air, peace and tranquility and views that will take your breath away! Surrounded by fynbos. Come and build your dream home here. Baardskeerdersbos is first mentioned in writing dating back to 1660: an expedition-team of five men sent by the founder of the Cape Colony, Jan van Riebeeck, reported on the valley and its Khoikhoi-residents. No doubt the little expedition will have spent the night in the open air and will have encountered the small spider-like creatures called “Baardscheerders” (“Beard shavers”) famous for cutting human hair for nest-making purposes. Hence the mouthful that is the name of this village: Baardscheerdersbos (“Beard Shavers Forest”). Today the village is known as Baardskeerdersbos (or more intimately “B’bos”). The fertile Baardskeerdersbos Valley in the heart of the Overberg is one of the most undisturbed and original areas of this region. It is a rural drive of 25 km from Gansbaai en-route to the most southern point of the African continent, Cape Agulhas. Meandering past streams and through a hilly and constantly changing landscape, the drive to B’bos is in itself a treat. Apart from the traditional cattle farms and horse-steads, bright-green vineyards and multicoloured flower-farms, mark the landscape of the Baardskeerdersbos Valley.
