Graafwater is a small town situated halfway between Clanwilliam and Lamberts Bay. The town is 300 km from Cape Town so for families that would enjoy nature and tranquillity, Graafwater is the ideal remote location. There is a hotel in the town that is estimated to be 100 years old.
The surrounding nature has not been disturbed by large-scale commercialization which ensures that the essence of the town's charm is retained. The indigenous plants and flowers are a rare sight to behold and, naturally, springtime is the best, that is when a tapestry of colour paints the landscape with rich daisies of all colours.
The property market is not large but for a wise investor in the catering and allied industry to take a chance here it could be rewarding as the flow of tourists is an all-year affair.
Homes sell at the lower end of the R 750 000 scale which is still an investment and developing or building a home that will accommodate your lifestyle needs will be rewarding as far as a weekend holiday home goes. The wise person that decides to build a home here may want to keep with tradition and build a home with an exterior that matches the exterior of the other homes so as not to lose the character of the town, but the interior could be similar to a boutique lodge.
