Klawer is situated 283km from Cape Town on the N7. The town is nestled between the Matzikamma Mountains in the east and the Olifants River to the west. The towns name originated from the wild clover that grows in the area. The siphon at Kransbrug is on of Klawer's unique sights. The siphon draws water from the western to the eastern channel of the river. The
eastern channel flows the entire length of Klawer. During the flower season Klawer is transformed to a wild flower paradise.

For the adventure lover there is the Doring River that offers river rafting for the brave of heart. This is the ideal way to explore the Doring River banks that offer tranquil beauty as well as bushmen rock art. For the adventure lover the best time of the year to raft on the Doring River will be just after the rain season. The rapids on the river varies from grade 2 to grade 4 rapids. Definitely not for the faint hearted.
The Windhoek farm, situated 7km outside Klawer, offers a historical view of the area. The skirmish between troops of General Jan Smuts and British troops took place on this farm in 1902. A legacy of rock art was left by the Khoi and Bushmen. These rock art can be seen at various sites in the area
