Nestled comfortably between the majestic Koue Bokkeveld and Swartberg Mountains, Citrusdal is surrounded by beautiful scenery. Citrusdal is a mere two hour leisurely drive from Cape Town on the N7. From here visitors can pursue nature related activities, such as hiking, mountain biking, bird watching, horse riding and rugged 4X4 enduro/exploration trips. Farming activities form the backbone of this town. Citrusdal is world renowned for its superior citrus products and Goue Vallei wines, produced from grapes grown in the valley and on outlaying farms. The farmers also grow rooibos tea, harvest buchu and wild flowers in the mountains, grow vegetables, produce honey and keep cattle and sheep.

The Cederberg rock formations, such as the Wolfberg Arch, are known throughout the world and serious hikers, nature lovers and tourists pay homage to these natural spectacles. The proclaimed Cederberg Wilderness Area offers the true nature lover a face-to-face encounter with nature, seldom experienced in these modern times. The oldest orange tree in the country, calculated to be more than 250 years old, which stands on the farm Hexrivier in the Citrusdal Valley, has been declared a national monument. To this day the tree still bears fruit.
